The lyrics to 倖田來未's song Feel express the feeling of being in a car with someone special, feeling their warmth and secretly wishing to stay in that moment forever. Despite having those feelings, the singer struggles to express them to the other person, leading to anxiety and uncertainty. However, through music and dancing, they can express themselves and convey their emotions without words.
The chorus emphasizes this point, with the singer urging the listener to feel their heart and remember everything that has passed between them. While there are obstacles and miscommunications, the singer ultimately wants to stay together and be close to the other person.

당신은 하나님 앞에서, 지옥에 갈 수밖에 없는 죄인입니다. 종교얘기가 아니라 모든 사람에게 적용되는 펙트, 진리입니다. 교회에는 절대 가지 마시고 제 채널에 구원받기 위한 짧은 영상이 있으시 보시고 꼭 구원받으시기를 바랍니다.
... 믿지않는 자는 생명을 보지 못하고 오히려 하나님의 진노가 그 사람 위에 머물러 있느니라.(요3:36)
나를 거절하고 내 말들을 받아들이지 아니하는 자는 그를 심판할 이가 있으니, 곧 내가 말한 그 말이 그를 마지막 날에 심판하리라.(요12:48)
그들 마음의 완고함 때문에 그들 안에 있는 무지를 통하여 하나님의 생명에서 멀리 떨어졌고 그들의 명철은 어두워졌으며 감각을 상실하여 자신을 방탕에 내어주어 욕심으로 모든 불결한 것을 행하느니라.(엡4:18,19)
..그들은 자기들의 지식 가운데 하나님 두기를 싫어하니 하나님께서 그들을 버림받은 마음에 내버려 두시어 온당치 아니한 일을 하게 하셨도다.
그들은 모든 불의, 음행, 사악, 탐욕, 악의로 가득 찼으며
....
수군거리는 자들이요, 비방하는 자들이요, 하나님을 미워하는 자들이요, 모욕을 주며 교만하며,
자기자랑만 하며, 악한 일들을 꾀하는 자들이라.
그들은 이 같은 일을 행하는 자들이 마땅히 죽음에 처해져야 한다는 하나님의 심판을 알면서도 다 같은 일을 행할 뿐만 아니라 이런 일을 행하는 자들을 좋게 여기느니라.(롬1:28-32)
우리의 은밀한 죄를 주의 얼굴빛 가운데 두셨으니 (시90:8)
반드시 너희의 죄가 너희를 찾아낼 것 임을 알라 (민32:23)
그 고통의 연기가 영원무궁토록 올라가리라 (계14:11)
그곳에는 그들의 벌레도 죽지 않고, 불도 꺼지지 아니하느니라(막9:44)
주께서 노하실 때 그들을 화덕같이 만드시리니 주께서 주의 진노로 그들을 삼키시며 그 불이 그들을 소멸하리라
(시21:9)
