Audioweb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I promise to take it easy on your ........
I write you if I wrote you a letter
Would you change
I don't think so
No, I really don't think so
Chorus:
Running through you
It's just my personal feeling
You don't realize what you do
When you're not there for me
Oh, I'm shrinking inside
When I go to bed at night
Chorus
When I'm spinning around
It's just my personal feeling
You know 'bout the things that
People often say .......... about you
You know when I'm angry with you
Chorus
If there's a world without you
I don't wanna be ..............
I don't wanna turn the wheel
I don't wanna turn the wheel without you
No, without you
Just feeling
It's just my feeling
Why don't you realize
Why don't you take a ............ of me
The lyrics of Audioweb's song Personal Feeling convey a message of frustration and longing by the singer. The opening lines imply that life is difficult for the singer, however, he promises to take it easy on the person whom he's addressing. The lyrics indicate that the singer has a desire to connect with the person and he wonders if writing a letter would change their relationship, however, he doesn't see any hope for a change. The chorus emphasizes that it's just the singer's personal feeling running through the person, which suggests that he may not have control over his feelings and he's trying to convey this through his music.
In the second verse, the singer indicates that he is unhappy when that person isn't there for him and feels small inside when he goes to bed at night. He expresses his irritation toward the person when he is angry with them, which suggests that they may have had disagreements in the past. The chorus repeats itself to reinforce the idea that it's just the singer's personal feeling that is driving him to reach out to the person. The bridge indicates that the singer is willing to do anything to keep the person in his life because the idea of losing them scares him. He doesn't want to be without them as he believes life would be miserable without them. The singer concludes by asking the person why they can't see his perspective and why they don't take a chance on him.
