Feelings
Basic Element Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I try to stop thinking about you night and day
I try to call but doesn't matter what to say
You know I did everything just to make you stay

I got these feelings
I got these feeling in my head
'Cause I'm not sleeping
When you're not sleeping in my bed

Just turn it around
And try to see the way I'm doing tonight
Every night
But don't make a sound
'Cause every time you do
You don't make it right
Only lies, it's only lies

Awoke
A city that I've never been told
I see this woman in a bed
'Cause she don't call me
Well I do know how she kiss it
We ended up in a bed like this




It all started with a
And I'll die she took my hand

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Basic Element's song Feelings is about the singer's struggle to stop thinking about a person he deeply cares for, someone he had done everything to make stay, but ended up leaving nonetheless. He tries to call and talk but doesn't know where to start the conversation. The chorus talks about the strong feelings in his head, keeping him awake at night when the person is not there beside him. He wants the other person to understand and see how he is doing but is unable to express himself properly, leading to misunderstandings and lies.


The second verse tells a different story, of meeting a woman in a city he has never been to before. They share a moment, and it all started with a kiss. He likes her and wants her to call him, but she hasn't, leaving him uncertain about the future of his emotions. These two stories share a similarity, of the singer struggling to deal with his feelings and the uncertainty it brings, wanting to connect with someone but finding it difficult to make things work.


The song reflects the complexities, uncertainties and mixed emotions that come with being in a relationship. It highlights the struggles that come with communicating and understanding each other's emotions, leading to misunderstandings and lies. It also touches upon the theme of uncertainty and the fear of rejection.
