FEEL
Robbie Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on, hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste

I don't wanna die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I'm preparing to leave her
I scare myself to death
That's why I keep on running
Before I've arrived
I can see myself coming

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste

And I need to feel
Real love and the love ever after
I cannot get enough

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
I got too much love
Running through my veins
To go to waste

I just wanna feel real love
And life ever after
There's a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It's a real big place

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand




Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand

Overall Meaning

Robbie Williams's song Feel is a powerful and emotionally resonant exploration of the human desire for connection and meaning in life. The lyrics express a deep longing for real love and a sense of belonging, as well as the fear and anxiety that can arise when confronting the unknown and uncertain path of life. The opening lines, "Come on, hold my hand, I wanna contact the living, not sure I understand this role I've been given," set the tone for the rest of the song, conveying a sense of vulnerability and confusion. The singer's attempt to connect with God, only to be met with laughter, speaks to the difficulty of finding answers and meaning in a seemingly arbitrary universe.


The chorus, "I just wanna feel real love, feel the home that I live in, 'cause I got too much life running through my veins, going to waste," is a powerful affirmation of the singer's desire for a deeper, more fulfilling experience of life. The repetition of "real love" underscores the importance of genuine emotional connection in a world that can often feel disconnected and superficial. The line "I got too much life running through my veins, going to waste" expresses a sense of urgency and desperation, as if the singer is running out of time to find the fulfillment that they seek.


The verses reinforce this sense of urgency and desperation, with the singer admitting that they are "scared to death" and "preparing to leave" before even falling in love. The lines "Before I've arrived, I can see myself coming" suggest a sense of inevitability and futility, as if the singer is resigned to a future they cannot control. But despite this sense of hopelessness, the chorus remains a powerful expression of hope and longing, with the singer declaring that they "need to feel real love and the love ever after."


Overall, Robbie Williams's song Feel is a moving and poignant reflection on the human condition, expressing a deep longing for connection, meaning, and a sense of purpose in life.

@@mariabanken364 BIBLE calls us all to be real, sober minded souls, who live holy lives on earth.
BIBLE calls nor expect nobody to be:
- religious of any kind
- monk
- nun
BIBLE expect us to turn our LACK OF KNOWLEDGE into KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH (HOSEA 4:6)
Each human life on earth:
- repent
- BORN AGAIN and GO AND SIN NO MORE
- be baptised in HOLY SPIRIT /THE COMFORTER
- LIVE HOLY
= soul, after earthly death in HEAVEN. Easy logic, asks no degree in anything.

Bible calls us to give out RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, no to keep our mouth shut and support everything with blind eyes and deaf ears.

See no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil – that old saying, it belongs to masons, am I right again? The vow of silence of theirs.

SOULS, dare to read and study BIBLE (KJV) and search about FREEMASONRY.

I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins, going to waste
I don't wanna die

I cannot give it up
I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in

I got too much love
Running through my veins, to go to waste
I just wanna feel real love
In a life ever after, there's a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It's a real big place
Come and hold my hand
I want to contact the living
Not sure I understand
