Feels Great
Cheat Codes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Growing up in the golden age
Throwing rocks at your window pane
Kiss me once and I'll float away
But that ain't me anymore
Well I don't mind if I sell my soul
To get a song on the radio
That's so millennial
Do you remember how it feels to be young?
Do you remember?
We could be anyone (be anyone)
Now I miss the view from the floor of your room
September came way too soon
Do you remember how it feels to be young?
It feels great, mothafucka, yeah
It feels great, mothafucka, yeah
It feels great, mothafucka, yeah
Remember cutting class we would smoke and chill
It was only gym and lunch
We thought it was real
I was even failing math, I ain't even care
Yeah just to be around you made it worth it
I dropped out, but you still said I'm perfect
I remember at the prom you was perfect
I remember you were walking on graduation day
I never got the chance to say
That I remember all the time that we spent
And I remember you were really my friend
And I remember when they all looked and laughed
Now it's crazy how they all on yo ass
It feels great, mothafucka, yeah, yeah baby
It feels great, mothafucka, yeah, yeah baby
It feels great, mothafucka, yeah, yeah baby
Yeah, it feels great, mothafucka, yeah
Yeah, it feels great, mothafucka, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, eh eh
Do you remember how it feels to be young?
Do you remember?
We could be anyone (be anyone)
Now I miss the view from the floor of your room
September came way too soon
Do you remember how it feels to be young?
It feels great, mothafucka, yeah (yeah)
It feels great, mothafucka, yeah (yeah)
It feels great, mothafucka, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, it feels great, mothafucka, yeah
The song "Feels Great" by the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) group, Cheat Codes, speaks to the nostalgia of youth and the growing pains of leaving it behind. The lyrics start with reminiscing about throwing rocks at a love interest's window and the simplicity of life in the "golden age." The singer then voices their willingness to do what it takes to make it in the music industry, including selling their soul to get radio play, paying off student loans, and relying on credit cards. However, even with success, they are haunted by the memory of being young and carefree, highlighted by the repetition of the question, "Do you remember how it feels to be young?"
The second half of the song focuses on a specific romantic relationship, presumably from the singer's high school years. They recall smoking and chilling together during skipped classes, never caring about math grades as long as they could be near each other. The singer shares how much they valued their friend's support, even after they dropped out, and reminisces about a perfect prom and graduation day. Despite all the positive memories, the singer is aware of the reality that the people who once laughed at them are now trying to be close to them because of their success. The chorus repeats the sentiment of wanting to go back to feeling young and carefree, but the profanity of "mothaf***a" adds to the idea that the singer is frustrated with this unattainable goal.
Overall, "Feels Great" is a catchy dance track that speaks to the universal feeling of wanting to relive a simpler and happier time. It portrays the struggle of balancing success and nostalgia, and reminds listeners that it's okay to miss the past but important to live in the present.
