The Way I Feel
Asa Lyrics

I feel pain when they try to bring me down
I am hurt when others try to put me down or discourage me

But as long as this world keeps turning round
I know that this situation or feeling won't last forever

I know it won't last forever
I am aware that difficult times or emotions will eventually pass

OK, OK my life is moving
I acknowledge that my life is continuing and progressing

But demons are fighting
However, I still struggle with negative or challenging forces within myself

OK, OK tears are dry now
I have stopped crying or feeling sorry for myself

I feel like I'm floating through existence
I feel detached or disconnected from the world around me

I feel like I'm living after time
I feel like I am not fully present in the present moment

I feel like I'm forced to break the silence
I feel like I need to speak up or make my voice heard

Is that a crime? Is that a crime?
I question whether it is wrong or unacceptable to express myself

I feel like we're all following shadows
I feel like we are all chasing after things that are not real or tangible

And shadows they don't know where to go
These intangible goals or pursuits cannot lead us anywhere meaningful

I feel like I'm waiting for tomorrow
I feel like I am always waiting for something better or more fulfilling

While today wastes away
Meanwhile, the present moment is slipping away from me

It's not that I don't know
I am not ignorant or unaware of my situation or feelings

It's not that I can't see
I am not blind to the realities around me

It's not that I haven't noticed
I have observed and taken note of what is happening

It's driving me insane
However, these circumstances are causing me great mental or emotional distress

I feel like a child without a father
I feel an absence of guidance or support

And mama tries oh lord knows mama tries
Although my mother does her best to support me

I feel like the world is on my shoulder
I feel like I am carrying a heavy burden or responsibility

I wonder why, wonder why
I am curious or unsure why things are the way they are

I feel like I'm not the only one who's frustrated
I sense that others are also feeling discontent or discouraged

I feel like something's going wrong
I have a sense of impending doom or catastrophe

I can't escape it
I am unable to avoid or evade this feeling

I feel like the destinies
I believe that the futures

Of those meant to be the best
Of those who are destined for greatness or success

Are in the hands of liars
Are controlled or influenced by deceitful people

Now the world is on fire
Now everything seems chaotic or out of control

I feel like we're not angry enough
I feel like we are not passionate or motivated enough to create change

That while we wait, time's ticking away
That while we are complacent, we are wasting precious time

I feel there's gonna be an explosion
I have a premonition or feeling that something drastic or explosive will happen

It's just the way I feel
I cannot help how I feel
