The Way I Feel

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Off the narrow path
You've given me so many things that I've never had
And all in all I know it's you that always pulls me through
If you reach deep inside you'll see my heart is true
'Cause I hate the way I feel tonight
And I know I need you in my life
And I promise to make the sacrifice
The world I know is pulling me
More and more each day
I feel like the odd man out as I begin to pray
Spiteful eyes are watching me
With everything I do
In the midst of darkness Lord
My spirit calls for you
(You know sometimes deep inside)
I feel like this
song is about a person who has lost their way and is struggling to find their place in the world. They have been wandering off the narrow path, which could be interpreted as the path of righteousness or the path of their true self. The person acknowledges that they have been given so many things that they've never had before, which could be material possessions or emotional support. Despite this, they know that it's the support of their loved ones, and ultimately their faith and connection to a higher power, that always pulls them through.
The chorus of the song is incredibly powerful, expressing a deep sense of self-hatred and the need for someone else to make them feel whole. The singer of the song hates the way they feel inside, and they know that they need someone else in their life to make themselves feel better. They acknowledge that they need to make sacrifices to get back on track and regain their sense of self.
The second verse of the song deals with the struggle to maintain faith and connection to a higher power in the face of societal pressure. The singer feels like the odd man out as they begin to pray and is aware that people are watching them with spiteful eyes. They acknowledge the darkness that surrounds them and the need for spiritual guidance to help them navigate through it. The overall message of the song is one of self-reflection, acknowledgment of one's flaws, and ultimately the need for faith and sacrifice to overcome them.

Lately I've been wandering
Off the narrow path
You’ve given me so many things that I've never had
And all in all I know it's you that always pulls me through
If you reach deep inside you’ll see my heart is true
‘Cause I hate the way I feel tonight
And I know I need you in my life
Yes I hate the way I feel inside
And I promise to make the sacrifice
The world I know is pulling me
More and more each day

Spiteful eyes are watching me
With everything I do
In the midst of darkness Lord
My spirit calls for you
(You know sometimes deep inside)
