Feeling Good
Avicii Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Birds flying high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me, yeah
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River running free, you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree, you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me, yeah
And I'm feeling good
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun
You know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies are havin' fun, you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
And in this old world is a new world, and a bold world for me!

Stars when you shine, you know how I feel
Scent of the pine, you know how I feel
Oh, freedom is mine and I know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me




And I'm feeling good
And I'm feeling good

Overall Meaning

Avicii's song Feeling Good is a cover of the classic standard written by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse. The lyrics speak to a sense of liberation and rejuvenation, as the singer describes the natural world around them and the positive impact it has on their mood. The opening lines create a sensory experience, describing the birds flying high, the sun in the sky, and the breeze drifting by, indicating an all-encompassing sense of freedom and joy.


The chorus asserts that it's a new day, a new life and the singer is feeling good. This feeling of freshness and new beginnings is made obvious through the use of floral imagery, as the river runs free and the blossom is on the tree. Later in the song, the dragonfly and butterflies are described enjoying the sun, while the night brings peace and sleep.


Finally, the reference to freedom and the knowledge that it is the singer's, indicate a sense of empowerment and respect for individual self-worth. Avicii's interpretation adds a dynamic and modern flair to the timeless standard, with the melody and instrumentation creating a pulsing, uplifting atmosphere that adds to the energy and positivity of the lyrics.
