What You Feel
Buffy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you like my style?
Why don't you come and play
I guarantee a great big smile
I come from the imagination
And I'm here strictly by your invocation
So what'd say
Why don't we dance a while
I'm the twist and shout
When you gotta sing
When you gotta let it out
You call me and I come a-runnin'
I turn the music on - I bring the fun in
Now where partying - that's what it's all about
'Cause I know what you feel girl
I know just what you feel girl
All these melodies
They go on too long
Then that energy
Starts to come on way too strong
All those hearts laid open - that must sting
Plus some customers just start combusting
That's the penalty
When life is but a song
You brought me down and doomed this town
So when we blow this scene
Back we will go to my kingdom below
And you will be my queen
'Cause I know what you feel, girl
Dawn: No you see
You and me
Wouldn't be very regal
Sweet: And I make it real, girl
Dawn: What I mean
I'm fifteen
So this "queen" thing's illegal
Sweet: I can bring whole cities to ruin
And still have time to get a soft shoe in
Dawn: No that's great
But I'm late
And I'd hate to delay her
Sweet: Something's cooking, I'm at the griddle
I bought Nero his very first fiddle
Dawn: She'll get pissed
If I'm missed
See, my sister's the slayer
Sweet: Now we're partying - that's what it's all about
The song "What you feel" is a powerful musical number from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Once more, with feeling". It portrays the character of Sweet, a demon who has been summoned by the townspeople to Sunnydale to make them all sing and dance until they express their true feelings. Sweet is a charming demon who presents himself as a performer and describes himself as the embodiment of swing, twist, and shout music. He invites Buffy and her friends to join in the fun and dance with him, promising a great time and a smile on their faces.
However, the lyrics of the song have a darker meaning. Sweet's true intention is to cause chaos and destruction by exploiting people's deep-seated emotions. The lyrics suggest that while music can be a source of joy and empowerment, it can also be dangerous when it awakens repressed feelings, leading to explosive emotional expressions. Sweet's manipulative tactics prove too much for some characters, who collapse during the musical number. Meanwhile, the song reflects on Buffy's internal struggles with her identity and the pressure to maintain a facade of strength and control.
In conclusion, the song "What you feel" is a finely crafted number that explores the dual nature of music- both a source of joy and a trigger of hidden emotions. Sweet's seductive tune and stylized performance conceal his darker motives, mirroring the dangers that lurk beneath the surface of everyday life. By using music as a metaphor for emotional turmoil, the song demonstrates the complexity of human experience and the vital importance of emotional honesty.
Line by Line Meaning
Why don't you run away,
Asking why are you still here, don't you want to escape?
Don't you like my style?
Don't you like what I bring to the table?
Why don't you come and play
Why don't you join in and have some fun?
I guarantee a great big smile
I promise to make you happy and bring joy to your face
I'm the heart of swing
I'm the essence of the swing style of music
I'm the twist and shout
I'm the dancing music that makes you want to move and shout
When you gotta sing
When you have emotions that only singing can release
When you gotta let it out
When you feel repressed and need a release
You call me and I come a-runnin'
When you need me, I'm always here for you
I turn the music on - I bring the fun in
I bring the atmosphere that makes people happy and excited
Now where partying - that's what it's all about
Let's have fun and enjoy ourselves
'Cause I know what you feel girl
I understand your emotions and can relate to them
All these melodies
All the different songs
They go on too long
Sometimes songs feel like they never end
Then that energy
The emotions that come with the music
Starts to come on way too strong
Those emotions become overwhelming
All those hearts laid open - that must sting
People sharing their emotions can hurt and be a vulnerable experience
Plus some customers just start combusting
Some people can't handle the emotions and break down
That's the penalty
That's the consequence of allowing yourself to feel
When life is but a song
When everything you do becomes an artificial performance
You brought me down and doomed this town
The emotional atmosphere has brought down the town's inhabitants
So when we blow this scene
When we leave this place
Back we will go to my kingdom below
I'll take you to my world where I reign supreme
And you will be my queen
And you will be my partner, my closest ally
Dawn: No you see
Dawn interjects into the conversation
You and me
We, you and I
Wouldn't be very regal
Wouldn't be fitting for aristocracy
And I make it real, girl
I'll make it work, don't worry
What I mean
What I'm trying to say
I'm fifteen
I'm underage
So this "queen" thing's illegal
So the notion of me being your queen is against the law
I can bring whole cities to ruin
I can cause destruction on a grand scale
And still have time to get a soft shoe in
Despite all that, I can still have some leisure time
No that's great
That's impressive
But I'm late
I'm running behind schedule
And I'd hate to delay her
I don't want to keep my sister waiting
Something's cooking, I'm at the griddle
Something is about to happen, and I'm in control of it
I bought Nero his very first fiddle
I'm responsible for significant events in history
She'll get pissed
My sister will become angry
If I'm missed
If I don't arrive on time
See, my sister's the slayer
My sister is a powerful warrior
Now we're partying - that's what it's all about
Let's focus on enjoying the moment and having fun
Sweet: Something's cooking, I'm at the griddle
Sweet asserts his control over the situation
Sweet: Now we're partying - that's what it's all about
Let's party and enjoy the moment, that's what matters
