I Can Feel You
Delilah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold your breath, don't cry, they're coming
Tainted secrets, don't die, they're coming

And if you wait for dawn to fade
You should see the dark
And as the gold defines your pain

I can feel your heart
Open from the start
I can feel your soul
Yearning to my call
I can feel you

Hold my hand, don't hide, cause they're comin'
Fallen angels, fly by, and they're comin'

So if you wait for dawn to fade
You should see the dark
And as the gold defines your pain

I can feel your heart
Open from the start
And I can feel your soul




Yearning to my call
I can feel you

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Delilah's song "I Can Feel You" evoke a sense of apprehension and anticipation. The singer warns someone to hold their breath and not cry as "they" are coming. The use of the word "tainted" implies that these secrets are dark, or perhaps something that should not have been hidden. The repetition of the lines creates a sense of urgency, heightening the tension of the lyrics.


The chorus of the song offers a glimmer of hope as the singer tells the person they can feel their heart, soul, and yearning. The image of the gold defining their pain suggests that there is value to be found in suffering or overcoming hardship. The repeated line "I can feel you" reinforces the idea of empathy and connection, suggesting that the singer understands and shares the person's emotions.


The second verse offers further warning, with the singer urging the person not to hide as "they" - possibly the same ominous force as before - are coming. The image of "fallen angels" flying by adds a supernatural or otherworldly element to the song, perhaps suggesting that the danger is not necessarily human.


Overall, the song offers an emotional and introspective look at fear, pain, and the importance of empathy and understanding.
