Feel Good Inc.
Skye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The city's breaking down on the camel's back
They just have to go 'cause they don't know whack
So all you fill the streets it's appealing to see
You won't get out the county 'cause you're bad and free

You've got a new horizon
It's ephemeral style
A melancholy town where we never smile
And all I wanna hear is the message beep
My dreams
They've got to catch me because I don't get sleep
No

Windmill
Windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is ticking
Falling down
Love forever
Love is free
Let's turn forever
You and me
Windmill
Windmill for the land
Is everybody in

Feel good
Feel good
Feel good
Feel good

Don't stop
Get it
Get it
We are your captains
In it steady
Watch me navigate
Ah
Ha
Ha
Ha
Ha

Don't stop
Get it
Get it
We are your captains
In it steady
Watch me navigate

Windmill
Windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is ticking
Falling down
Love forever
Love is free
Let's turn forever
You and me
Windmill
Windmill for the land
Is everybody in

Feel good
Feel good
Feel good
Feel good

Feel good
Feel good
Feel good
Feel good

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Skye's "Feel Good Inc." are a commentary on society and the way it is breaking down. The first verse refers to how people are leaving the city because they don't know what to do or where to turn. The line "you won't get out the county 'cause you're bad and free" suggests that people are trapped in their own bad habits and practices. As the song goes on, Skye sings about wanting to escape this melancholy town and how her dreams are the only thing that keeps her going. This is highlighted in the line "My dreams, they've got to catch me because I don't get sleep."


The chorus then kicks in, with its hypnotic repetition of "Windmill for the land" suggesting the need for some kind of revival or renewal. The idea of turning "forever hand in hand" implies a need for human connection and unity in the face of the decay Skye describes. The song's bridge repeats the urgency of escaping the current state of affairs, with Skye proclaiming "We are your captains/In it steady/Watch me navigate." Through it all, the repeating "feel good" chant suggests that despite the struggles and hardships, we can still find joy and positivity in life.


Overall, "Feel Good Inc." is a powerful and thought-provoking song that encourages us to keep moving forward and striving for better, even when things seem bleak. It's a reminder that we can always find hope and happiness, even in the darkest of times.

This is from a live broadcast on KCRW, a Public Radio station in Santa Monica California. The station is available worldwide at kcrw.com. They have some excellent musical programming, including the show that featured this Skye song called, "Morning Becomes Eclectic" which airs from 9am to 12pm Pacific (California) time.
