feel something
Bea Miller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could choose anything
I would be good and bad one day
I would fall into love and stay
Would fall into love

And it's not fair
I keep on writing a sequel to stories
I know that are not there
I don't wanna die but I don't wanna live like this

I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
Something really real so that I can really
Feel like a person again
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
Something really real so that I can really
Feel like a person again

If I am telling the truth
Watching my friends break their hearts into two
Makes me jealous, I know that it's cruel
But what can you do?

And it's not fair
I keep on writing a sequel to stories
I know that are not there
I don't wanna die but I don't wanna live like this

I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
Something really real so that I can really
Feel like a person again
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
Something really real so that I can really
Feel like a person again

Can you tell me a secret
Can you tell me what's wrong with me
I know I should be angry
But I can barely feel a fucking thing
Can you tell me a secret
Can you tell me what's wrong with me
Can you tell me what's wrong with me

I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
Something really real so that I can really
Feel like a person again
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
Something really real so that I can really
Feel like a person again

Can you tell me a secret
Can you tell me what's wrong with me
I know I should be angry
But I can barely feel a fucking thing
Can you tell me a secret




Can you tell me what's wrong with me
Can you tell me what's wrong with me

Overall Meaning

In Bea Miller's song, "Feel Something," she expresses the longing to experience raw emotions, rather than feeling numb and empty. The singer is searching for something "really real" to connect with, a genuine feeling that will make her feel like a person again. She desires to love and be loved, even though she is conflicted on whether to live or die. Miller reveals that watching her friends' emotional struggles, she feels jealous, which she acknowledges is cruel.


Throughout the song, Miller questions what is wrong with her and why she can barely feel a thing. She begs for someone to tell her a secret, hoping for a solution or an answer to her emotional numbness. The lyrics suggest that the singer is fed up with the emptiness in her life and wants to experience genuine emotions again, even if they may be painful.


Overall, "Feel Something" is a raw and emotional piece that highlights one's desire to be vulnerable and experience intense feelings, regardless of the pain that comes with it.

When this song first came out, i made a music video concept, so here it is:

Concept for feel something - Omar Ash
------------------------------------------------------------------
• Bea is sitting the side of her bed emotionless and lifeless, talking to herself.
"And its not fair..."
• Bea gets up and dresses up for a party while looking in the mirror as if an outfit will make her feel anything.
"...i don't wanna die but I dont wanna live like this"
• With every tick in the first part of the chorus, cutscenes show her walking down the street looking straight at the camera saying the first chorus with no emotion.
Beat drops
"I just wanna feel something, i just wanna feel..."
• Bea is standing still in the middle of a crowded party where everyone is having a great time. Still staring at the camera.
"...feel like a person again -gain -gain"
• She walks out of the party and back onto the street.
"Watching my friends break their hearts into two..."
• She sees a couple walking past her holding hands. She keeps walking
"And its not fair..."
• She looks up at the sky as if to question whats wrong with her.
• Camera is above her, she is looking up
• People walking past brush into her or bump into her shoulders.
First part of the chorus
"I just wanna feel something I just wanna feel..."
• All the people and cars stop moving as if time froze
• Bea is still able to move
• She walks around
Beat drops
"I just wanna feel something I just wanna feel..."
• Time unfreezes
• Bea starts running as if shes running away from her emotions
• She reaches a cliffside or a ledge
Bridge
"Can you tell me a secret..."
• She's talkes off the cliffside in frustration
Bridge ends
• She lays down flat on her back looking up at the sky
Solo vocal chorus repeat
"I just wanna feel something"
• She closes her eyes while talking here, then opens them right before the final chorus.
Beat drops
Final chorus starts
"I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel..."
• A montage of"
• clips from her at the party, only this time she's thrashing in frustration and self pity.
• Clips of her back at her bedroom throwing and breaking stuff (including mirror? Might be overused)
• Clips of her running like from before.
• Clips of her crying while laying down on this cliffside.
• In her room, her nails are digging into her palm, they start bleeding.
"So that I can really feel like a person again"
• She replies to the final line by writing on the wall in her own blood "but i can't"

f I could choose anything
I would be good and bad one day
I would fall into love and stay
Would fall into love
And it's not fair
I keep on writing a sequel to stories
I know that are not there
I don't wanna die but I don't wanna live like this
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
Something really real so that I can really
Feel like a person again
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
Something really real so that I can really
Feel like a person again
If I am telling the truth
Watching my friends break their hearts into two
Makes me jealous, I know that it's cruel
But what can you do?
And it's not fair
I keep on writing a sequel to stories
I know that are not there
I don't wanna die but I don't wanna live like this
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
Something really real so that I can really
Feel like a person again
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
Something really real so that I can really
Feel like a person again
Can you tell me a secret
Can you tell me what's wrong with me
I know I should be angry
But I can barely feel a fucking thing
Can you tell me a secret
Can you tell me what's wrong with me
Can you tell me what's wrong with me
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
Something really real so that I can really
Feel like a person again
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
Something really real so that I can really
Feel like a person again
Can you tell me a secret
Can you tell me what's wrong with me
I know I should be angry
But I can barely feel a fucking thing
Can you tell me a secret
Can you tell me what's wrong with me
Can you tell me what's wrong with me
