FEEL
Guy Chambers/Robbie Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on, hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste

I don't wanna die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I'm preparing to leave her
I scare myself to death
That's why I keep on running
Before I've arrived
I can see myself coming

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste

And I need to feel
Real love and the love ever after
I cannot get enough

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
I got too much love
Running through my veins
To go to waste

I just wanna feel real love
And life ever after
There's a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It's a real big place

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand




Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand

Overall Meaning

The song "Feel" by Guy Chambers and Robbie Williams is a contemplative piece that delves into the singer's quest for meaning and purpose in life. The opening line, "Come and hold my hand, I wanna contact the living," evokes a sense of loneliness and a desire for human connection. The singer appears to be searching for something, but is unsure of what that is.


The second verse highlights the singer's struggle to comprehend their own existence. They speak to God, but feel as if their plans are being laughed at. The line "My head speaks a language I don't understand" emphasizes the singer's sense of confusion and disorientation. The chorus of the song, "I just wanna feel real love, feel the home that I live in," shows that the singer's primary desire is for genuine, sincere connection with others. They recognize that life is fleeting and finite, and that they don't want to waste it.


The bridge of the song, with the refrain "I just wanna feel real love and the love ever after," suggests that the singer is ultimately looking for something beyond human connection. They want to feel a sense of meaning and purpose that transcends the temporal realm. The final lines of the song, "There's a hole in my soul, you can see it in my face," speak to the singer's deep sense of emptiness and longing.
