feelings
Bastion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Speak and face me
See, I dare not take me
Say you'll follow through
Say I'll dare, want to mourn you
Emotion, well
See, only way I gotta speak and tell
I'm from it
S'emotion, tell
See, only way I got the notions' spell
I'm from it, I'm from it

Maybe, I'm just crazy
You've got much to do with your safety
I got much like you could face it
Got me all like Saving Places
I see Tampa, a future calling
Got the young so rich, a calling
Everything I said before you
If you know what a storm can
So if you want it, come and get it
Baby, now it's open
Now, it's open

Only we start a spell
See, only ways got my mind, on my mind, I tell

She's on the pleasure that I see in my stash
I got the real life wound-up feeling that it's one of the best
Seeing it, I can
Be every mingle of my sacred love
I got my way, I got my baby
A chug of one with the cap

I'm always, singin' a song unless it's alright
Singin' it's alright
Singin a song in the sunlight, it's alright

Sing emotion, tell
See, the only way I got the motions' spell
I'm from it, I'm from it
Maybe I'm just crazy
You got much to do with your safety
I got much like you could face it
Got me all like Saving Places
I see Tampa, a future calling
Got the young so rich, a calling
Everything I said before you
If you know what a storm can

Maybe, I'm just crazy
You've got much to do with your safety
I got much like you could face it
Got me all like Saving Places
See Tampa, future calling
Got the young so rich, a calling
Everything I said before you
If you know what a storm can

So if you want it, come and get it, baby now it's open
Now it's open




Only we start a spell
See, only ways got my mind, on my mind, I tell

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bastion's song "Feelings" are quite enigmatic as they contain abstract phrases which make the listener wonder what the meaning behind them is.

The lines "Maybe, I'm just crazy/ You've got much to do with your safety/ I got much like you could face it/ Got me all like Saving Places" sound like the singer is struggling with his own emotions and trying to find a way to express them to someone else who may not be as understanding or accepting. The song could be interpreted as a plea for someone to open themselves up and connect on a deeper level.
