Feel It Still
Portugal. The Man Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't keep my hands to myself
Think I'll dust 'em off, put 'em back up on the shelf
In case my little baby girl is in need
Am I coming out of left field?

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
I been feeling it since 1966, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still
Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
Let me kick it like it's 1986, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still

Got another mouth to feed
Leave her with a baby sitter, mama, call the grave digger
Gone with the fallen leaves
Am I coming out of left field?

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
I been feeling it since 1966, now
Might've had your fill, but you feel it still
Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
Let me kick it like it's 1986, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still

We could fight a war for peace
(Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now)
Give in to that easy living
Goodbye to my hopes and dreams
Stop flipping for my enemies
We could wait until the walls come down
(Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now)
It's time to give a little to the
Kids in the middle, but oh 'til it falls
Won't bother me

Is it coming?
Is it coming?
Is it coming?
Is it coming?
Is it coming?
Is it coming back?

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, yeah
Your love is an abyss for my heart to eclipse, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
I've been feeling it since 1966, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still
Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
Let me kick it like it's 1986, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still
Might've had your fill, but you feel it still

Overall Meaning

"Feel It Still" by Portugal. The Man is a song that talks about being a rebel who is living life on their own terms. The singer starts by saying that they can't keep their hands to themselves and are going to put them back on the shelf just in case their "little baby girl" needs anything. The singer questions if they are coming out of left field, meaning if they are doing something unexpected or if people are surprised by their behavior.


The chorus of the song repeats "Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now/I been feeling it since 1966, now/Might be over now, but I feel it still." The singer expresses that they have been a rebel for a long time, and while it might be over now, they still feel it. The next verse talks about responsibility and the sacrifices that come with it. The singer has another mouth to feed and has to leave their child with a babysitter while they go about their day. They also mention the fallen leaves, which could symbolize the changing seasons or something that has been lost.


The song then talks about the possibility of fighting for peace and living an easy life. The singer questions whether it's time to give a little to the kids in the middle, meaning those who are often overlooked. The bridge of the song asks if something is coming back, perhaps change, where the singer is beckoning the listener to find their inner rebel and embrace change.


Line by Line Meaning

Can't keep my hands to myself
I am struggling to control myself


Think I'll dust 'em off, put 'em back up on the shelf
I will try to restrain myself from doing something regrettable


In case my little baby girl is in need
To be prepared for any emergency for my loved one


Am I coming out of left field?
Am I behaving strangely or recklessly?


Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
I am a non-conformist who takes pleasure in being defiant


I been feeling it since 1966, now
I have been living as a rebel since the 60s


Might be over now, but I feel it still
Although times may have changed, I am still living as a rebel


Got another mouth to feed
I have another person to provide for


Leave her with a baby sitter, mama, call the grave digger
I am willing to risk everything for my non-conformist lifestyle, even if it means leaving my responsibilities behind


Gone with the fallen leaves
Everything is falling apart


We could fight a war for peace
We could be willing to do anything to achieve peace


Give in to that easy living
To give up my freedom for an easier life


Goodbye to my hopes and dreams
To give up my aspirations for conformity


Stop flipping for my enemies
Stop trying to please the people who want to bring me down


We could wait until the walls come down
To wait until everything is in ruins before we try to fix it


It's time to give a little to the kids in the middle, but oh 'til it falls
It is important to give to those who are in need, but until we redesign the system in a more equitable way, there will always be people who struggle


Won't bother me
It does not affect me personally


Is it coming?
Is the change or revolution coming?


Is it coming back?
Will the revolution come back again?


Your love is an abyss for my heart to eclipse, now
Your love is too overwhelming and ruins my rebel status


Might've had your fill, but you feel it still
Although you may have experienced enough of the rebel life, you are still drawn to it

Can't keep my hands to myself
Think I'll dust 'em off, put 'em back up on the shelf
In case my little baby girl is in need
Am I coming out of left field?

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
I been feeling it since 1966, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still
Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
Let me kick it like it's 1986, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still

Got another mouth to feed
Leave her with a baby sitter, mama, call the grave digger
Gone with the fallen leaves
Am I coming out of left field?

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
I been feeling it since 1966, now
Might've had your fill, but you feel it still
Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
Let me kick it like it's 1986, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still

We could fight a war for peace
(Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now)
Give in to that easy living
Goodbye to my hopes and dreams
Stop flipping for my enemies
We could wave until the walls come down
(Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now)
It's time to give a little tip
Kids in the middle, move over 'til it falls
Don't bother me

Is it coming?
Is it coming?
Is it coming?
Is it coming?
Is it coming?
Is it coming back?

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, yeah
Your love is an abyss for my heart to eclipse, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
I've been feeling it since 1966, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still
Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
Let me kick it like it's 1986, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still
Might've had your fill, but you feel it still
