Can You Feel It
Grand Daddy I.U. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's always been dark over here on mine
Bite my lip if you think that it's right
But you walk away
You walk away
I, Can feel it
Can, You feel it
And I, Can see it
You walk away
You, I can never get away
I can't beg you to stay
So why do I wait
You
You
(dialogue)
Grass is always greener on the other side
It's always been dark over here on mine
Bite my lip if you think that it's right
But you walk away
You walk away
I, Can feel it
Can, You feel it
And I, Can see it
But you walk away
You walk away
You, I can never get away
I can't beg you to stay
So why do I wait
You
You
You
You
You
The lyrics of Grand Daddy I.U.'s song "Can You Feel It" explore themes of longing, dissatisfaction, and the constant desire for something better. The opening lines, "Grass is always greener on the other side, it's always been dark over here on mine," illustrate a sense of envy and discontentment. The singer feels that others have it better, and their own circumstances are perpetually gloomy.
The repeated refrain, "But you walk away," suggests a personal connection or relationship where the subject feels abandoned or left behind. They are torn between the desire to speak up and express their dissatisfaction ("Bite my lip if you think that it's right") and the fear of doing so.
The lyrics convey a plea for recognition and validation, with lines like "I, Can feel it, Can, You feel it, And I, Can see it." The singer wants the other person to acknowledge their feelings and experiences. However, despite this longing, they acknowledge their inability to escape the situation ("You, I can never get away, I can't beg you to stay"). The repetition of the word "You" in the final lines emphasizes the focus on the other person and their role in the singer's emotional turmoil.
