Feeling Good
✔ Muse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom in the trees you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life




For me
And I'm feeling good

My dad left this world yesterday. This was him phone ring song and liked it a lot. Rest in Peace, Dad. 1970 - 2022

@CosmicAlgorithm

I'm sorry for your loss😔

@lh2738

I'm so sorry man, I know how badly it hurts 'cause I went through the same thing.
The only useful advice I can give you is: keep looking forward. I know it's difficult, but the pain will become bearable eventually, and you'll start living again. Scarred, for sure, but the wound will be healed. Do it for him, and for you.
Best wishes! 💪

Am I the only one who thinks that this song sounds amazing but at the same time haunting? It's just so... mesmerizing.

as the onset of the matrix

It kinda sounds like the exorcist theme to me

"Tubular Bells" by Mike Oldfield.  Such a creepy (in a good way!) piece.
