I Don't Feel A Thing
Austin Meade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I miss the pain
I miss being naive
I miss acting all my age
Since you've come around
Few things have changed
And since she left I don't feel a thing, no
I don't feel a thing when we touch
I'm not saying this is what I want
Hell, I know that it ain't right
But we can't have what we want
Maybe I shouldn't say it
They all hate honesty
I think if I'd do it
They might all turn on me
I've held it in for years now
It's weighing down on me
So I'll go ahead and say it
I really hate your company, yeah
'Cause I don't feel a thing when we touch
I don't feel a thing when we fight
I'm not saying this is what I want
Hell, I know that it ain't right
But we can't have what we want
I don't feel a thing when we touch
I don't feel a thing when we fight
I'm not saying this is what I want
Hell, I know that it ain't right
But we can't have what we want
And that's okay
'Cause I never wanted you
I never wanted you anyway, no
The song "I Don't Feel A Thing" by Austin Meade talks about the feeling of numbness that someone experiences due to a breakup. The lyrics start with him reminiscing about the old days when he was naive and acted his age. However, since his ex-girlfriend came around, few things have changed. He then admits that he does not feel anything anymore, not when they touch, not when they fight, and he knows it is not right. Despite the fact that he never wanted her, he misses the pain and the heartbreak he used to feel before.
As the song progresses, he confesses a hard truth - that he really hates her company because he doesn't feel anything when they are together. He has held it in for years, and it is now weighing him down. He mentions that he wishes he could be honest about what he is feeling, but he fears his honesty might turn everyone against him. The lyrics once again express his detachment from the relationship and emphasize that he never wanted her, to begin with.
The song represents a range of emotions that one goes through after a breakup. The lyrics show the struggle to move on, even when the past was not good. The singer's thoughts and emotions are raw and honest, making the song relatable to those who have faced similar situations.
