What I Feel
De/Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And hide your face again
Why don't you look at me
You, you don't see what I feel
I try to laugh about it
Don't you know that I bleed again
You, can't you see what I feel
You are against the same pain
Why you?
You, you can not hide that thought
You are afraid and I know
That you will see my face
Hear the words I say
And your dreams again
You haven't got the time
You haven't got the time
You haven't got the time
You haven't got the time
You, you can't you see what I feel
Can't you see what I feel
The lyrics to De/Vision's song What I Feel discuss themes of hiding one's emotions, feeling misunderstood, and longing for connection. The singer implores their partner to look at them, and expresses frustration that their partner cannot see their feelings. Despite trying to laugh about it, the singer reveals that they are bleeding internally, hinting at deep emotional pain.
The chorus of the song features the singer asking their partner if they can see what they feel and expressing a desire for them to be by their side. However, the partner is seemingly closed off, afraid, and doesn't have time for the singer. The repetitions of "you haven't got the time" emphasize the distance between the two.
The song is a poignant commentary on the difficulties of communication in relationships and the longing for intimacy. Musically, the song features a driving beat and a mix of both electronic and acoustic elements. Its emotive delivery and introspective lyrics have resonated with many fans of the synthpop genre.
