What You Feel
Chris Levy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time and space
Is a lonely place
There´s no sound
Just a heart, that bounce
Life´s unknown
Where´s the way back home
In my mind
There´s a silence cry

What you feel
What you know
You´re not in control
Ohhhh
If you just, let it go
There´s a peace, you know
Ohhhh

Have to be
Something bigger than me
How to find
Just some peace of mind
When it´s out, all of hear is loud
In my mind
The same tape rewind

What you feel
What you know
You´re not in control
Ohhhh
If you just, let it go
There´s a peace, you know
Ohhhh

What you feel
What you know
You´re not in control
Ohhhh
If you just, let it go




There´s a peace, you know
Ohhhh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Chris Levy's song "What You Feel" discuss the feeling of isolation, confusion, and lack of control that is often experienced in life. The lyrics suggest that time and space can be a lonely place, where there is no sound and only the rhythmic beat of one's own heart. The song acknowledges that life is unknown, and sometimes we feel lost, without a way back home. The singer admits to having a silence cry within their mind, suggesting feelings of loneliness, sadness, or despair.


The chorus of the song emphasizes how little control we have over our lives. No matter how much we try, we cannot always control what we feel or what we know. The message here is to accept that we are not always in control and to let go of the need to be in control. The song suggests there is a peace to be found if we can just let go of our need to control everything. The repeated "Ohhhhs" in the chorus are an emotional call to let it all go and embrace the peace that comes with acceptance.


The song encourages the listener to search for something bigger than themselves, to find peace of mind. It acknowledges that the constant noise and chaos of life can be overwhelming, but through finding something greater, something that reaches beyond oneself, we can begin to find the peace of mind that we all so desperately need. The final lyrics summarize the message of the song perfectly: there is a sense of peace to be found if you can let go of control and accept what you feel and what you know.
