Feelings
Applause Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feelings feelings feelings where have you gone
I had a heart I shouldn't buy a new one
I'm only walking through life
Drowned in love drowned in love

You sing you sing you sing in the shower
I can hear it but I just don't remember
I only know that I care
You say it's unfair but who would dare

The falling leaves are dying
I always hate November
How could it be better
How could I have other

Feelings feelings feelings where have you gone
I had a heart I shouldn't buy a new one




I'm only walking through life
Drowned in love drowned in love

Overall Meaning

In "Feelings," the singer is lamenting the loss of emotions and the inability to connect with them. She questions where her feelings have gone and wonders if she should buy a new heart. The line "I'm only walking through life" suggests that she is going through the motions of life without any real passion or depth.


The second verse shifts focus to someone else, perhaps a lover or friend, who sings in the shower but the singer can't remember what they sang. She still cares, even though she doesn't remember the specifics. The line "You say it's unfair but who would dare" could suggest that the other person feels like they aren't being understood or appreciated by the singer.


The final stanza includes a reference to November, a time when the falling leaves symbolize death and decay. The singer expresses her dislike for the month and asks how things could be better. The repeated chorus reinforces the feeling of being overwhelmed by love, indicating that the singer may be struggling to fully process her emotions.
