What It Feels Like
FFH Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So this is what it feels like to walk the wilderness
This is what it feels like to come undone
This is what it feels like to lose my confidence
Unsure of anything or anyone

So this is what it feels like to walk the desert sand
This is what it feels like to hear my name
To be scared to death 'cause I'm all alone
But feel love and peace just the same

This may not be the road I would choose for me
But it still feels right somehow
'Cause I have never felt You as close to me as I do right now
So this is what it feels like to be led

So this is what it feels like to just fall apart
To be totally unglued
To find out that if I accept my brokenness
I get more of me, I get all of You

And this may not be the road I would choose for me
But it still feels right somehow
I have never felt You as close to me as I do right now
So this is what it feels like to be led

So this is what it feels like to just walk away
From everything I thought kept me safe
To depend just on You for every meal
And find that it's better this way
Oh, it's better this way

This may not be the road I would choose for me
But it still feels right somehow
'Cause I have never felt You as close to me as I do right now
Like I do right now

This may not be the road I would choose for me
But it still feels right somehow
And I have never felt You as close to me as I do right now
So this is what it feels like to be led





This is what it feels like to be led
So this is what it feels like

Overall Meaning

FFH's "What It Feels Like" is a song that explores the emotions and experiences of walking through difficult seasons of life, and realizing that even in the midst of uncertainty and brokenness, there is still a sense of being led by a higher power.

The first verse sets the scene for the wilderness journey, where the singer is feeling uncertain and lacks confidence.

Yet, even in this place of vulnerability, the singer experiences a sense of love and peace, suggesting that there is comfort to be found in the midst of difficulty. The second verse explores the idea of falling apart and facing brokenness, but once again, the idea of surrendering to the journey and accepting one's own limitations leads to a sense of being drawn closer to a higher power.


The chorus reflects the idea that even though this may not be the journey that the singer would have chosen for themselves, there is a sense that it is the right path for them, because it has allowed them to experience a deeper connection with the divine presence that is guiding them. The final verse speaks to the idea of walking away from the things that were once thought to be sources of security, and depending solely on a higher power for sustenance. This can be a scary prospect, but the sense of finding a better way through that dependence on a spiritual force is a powerful one.


Overall, "What It Feels Like" is a song that speaks to the struggles of navigating difficult seasons of life, but ultimately finding a sense of peace and purpose through surrender and dependence on a higher power.
