Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Holy Wave's song "Do You Feel It?" are an exploration of the complexities of romantic relationships. The singer seeks to understand the feelings of their partner, questioning whether their love is reciprocated. The opening lines reveal an awareness of their own feelings, but a lack of certainty about the other person's emotions: "I feel your love but, do you feel it?" This sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer struggles to discern whether or not their love is fully appreciated and returned.

The second verse delves further into the singer's doubts, suggesting that even their perception of their partner may not be accurate: "I see your face but, do I see you?" This line hints at a potential disconnect between the image the partner presents and their true feelings. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is grappling with their own vulnerability, and whether or not their partner truly wants them: "You need me but, do you want me? You feel my love but, do you want love?" These lines reveal a deep-seated fear of rejection and a desire for affirmation from their partner.
