I Gotta Feeling
David Guettao - www.CdsCompletos.net Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Our institutions are all breaking down within
So light the fire and we'll see where all this ends
This is the precipice of my last resignation
So please spare me the bullshit
Guess I'll go down with the ship
The radio makes us sound so faithless
Turn it off, turn it off right now
Like they're the only ones who could possibly save us, woah
The sorry message but they sing so loud
You wouldn't believe
I take a step outside myself, out of my mind
And I fight the urge to shy away and run and hide
I threw a thousand paper lanterns to the sky
So I can see them in the air
We still don't believe the things we see on the street
We're wasting time
(Been left behind)
Yeah, you know that it sounds like
Absurdity, like 'woe is me'
But you still play my CD
So you must know something about what I mean, yeah
The radio makes us sound so faithless
Turn it off, turn it off right now
Like they're the only ones who could possibly save us, woah
The sorry message but they sing so loud
You wouldn't believe
I take a step outside myself, out of my mind
And I fight the urge to shy away and run and hide
I threw a thousand paper lanterns to the sky
So I can see them in the air
The radio plays all my favorites
Turn it up, turn it up right now
'Cause we're the only ones who could possibly save us, woah
No solid message but we'll sing so loud
Just wait and see
I take a step outside myself, out of my mind
And I fight the urge to shy away and run and hide
I threw a thousand paper lanterns to the sky
So I can see them in the air
So I can see them in the air




So I can see them in the air
So I can see them in the air

Overall Meaning

In the song "I Gotta Feeling" by David Guettao, the lyrics reflect a sense of frustration and disillusionment with society and its institutions. The opening lines suggest that the current systems and structures are falling apart, and there is a desire to see where it all leads. The line "light the fire" symbolizes a call for change and a willingness to face the consequences.


The next set of lyrics express a resignation towards the prevalent hypocrisy and insincerity. The singer is tired of the empty promises and falsehoods often propagated through the media and urges to turn it off. The line "the sorry message but they sing so loud, you wouldn't believe" emphasizes the artificiality and deceptive nature of what is being presented.


Despite the disillusionment, there is also a sense of defiance and self-awareness. The singer takes a step outside themselves, out of their own mind, and refuses to give in to the urge to hide or run away. The reference to throwing a thousand paper lanterns to the sky signifies a symbolic act of releasing hopes and dreams, trying to see them materialize.


The lyrics further emphasize the skepticism towards the things seen on the street, suggesting that the reality portrayed may not be trustworthy. The repetition of "been left behind" implies a feeling of being overlooked or disregarded. However, the acknowledgment that someone still plays their CD indicates a glimmer of hope, suggesting that there may be some understanding of the singer's perspective.


The song then shifts its focus to the power of music and the role it plays in salvation. It highlights that the radio, despite its flaws, remains a source of comfort and escape for many. By turning up the volume and embracing the music, the singer suggests that they, along with others, can be the ones to save themselves from the turmoil and uncertainty mentioned earlier.


Overall, "I Gotta Feeling" conveys a mix of frustration, resignation, defiance, and hope. It reflects a desire for change, while also acknowledging the limitations and skepticism towards existing systems. Through music and self-awareness, the lyrics suggest a path towards finding solace and a sense of purpose amidst the chaos.
