I Feel It All
Benjamin Gibbard & Feist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel it all, I feel it all
The wings are wide, the wings are wide
Wild card inside, wild card inside
Ooh, I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll be the one to hold the gun
I know more than I knew before
I didn't rest, I didn't stop
Did we fight or did we talk?
Ooh, I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll be the one to hold the gun
I love you more
I love you more
I don't know what I knew before
But now I know I wanna win the war
No one likes to take a test
Sometimes you know more is less
Put your weight against the door
Kick-drum on the basement floor
Stranded in the fog of words
Loved him like a winter bird
On my head the water pours
Gulf stream through the open door
Fly away
Fly away to what you want to make
Ho-o-o-ome
I feel it all, I feel it all (ha)
I feel it all, I feel it all (ha)
The wings are wide, the wings are wide
Wild card inside, wild card inside
Ooh, I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll end it though you started it
The truth lies (we could be together)
The truth lied (and now I wonder)
And lies divide (to the end, we've got to make it)
Lies divide
Ho-o-o-ome

The repetition of "I feel it all" emphasizes the overwhelming nature of these emotions, as if the singer is being consumed by the intensity of their feelings.

The line "Ooh, I'll be the one who'll break my heart, I'll be the one to hold the gun" speaks to the self-destructive tendencies that can sometimes arise in relationships. The singer recognizes their own role in potentially causing heartbreak and pain, willing to take the blame and responsibility for any negative outcome.
The chorus reveals a transformation in the singer's perspective. They claim to know more now than they did before, indicating personal growth and learning from past experiences. The desire to win the war reflects a determination to overcome obstacles in the relationship and fight for love.
The song also touches on the complexities of communication and the potential for misunderstandings in relationships. The lines "Did we fight or did we talk?" suggest a possible conflict or miscommunication between the singer and their partner.
The bridge brings a sense of imagery and metaphorical language. The test metaphor implies a struggle or challenge in the relationship, with the realization that sometimes having more knowledge or understanding doesn't necessarily lead to a better outcome. The imagery of being stranded in a fog of words speaks to the confusion and uncertainty that can arise from unclear communication. The water pouring on the singer's head and the gulf stream through the open door evoke a sense of being overwhelmed and swept away by their emotions.
Overall, "I Feel It All" is a song that delves into the depth and complexity of love, exploring both the beauty and the challenges that come with it.

LYRICS
Traveling north, traveling north to find you
Train wheels beating, the wind in my eyes
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
Call out your name love, don't be surprised
It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles but it won't be long
What will I do if there's someone with you
Maybe someone you've always known
How do I know I can come and give to you
Love with no warning and find you alone
It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long

Traveling north, traveling north to find you
Train wheels beating, the wind in my eyes
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
Call out your name love don't be surprised
It's so many miles and so long since I've left you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
Nothing at all in my head to say to you
Only the beat of the train I'm on
Nothing I've learn all my life on the way to you
One day our love was over and gone
It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll say when I get to you
But suddenly now I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
What will I do if there's someone there with you?
Maybe someone you've always known
How do I know I can come and give to you?
Love with no warning and find you alone
It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
It won't be long, it won't be long, it won't be long

My wife and I had the pleasure of sitting with Ben's Mother and Father at a show in Seattle last year. Very proud parents. It was definitely a beautiful thing to witness.
