Feel Better
Honors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been feeling lost, I've been in decline
When we make it home we'll be outta line
Never get it back, never see it shine
Keep on holding off what's been inchin' round
Old spot's looking like a ghost town
Dollar to my name, still I'm going out
'Cause I think I see better when the sun's down
'Cause you and me, yeah, you and me
We popped them shits and took a ride on some truancy
We'd fantasize about our lives and the jewelry
That we might one day get
We got it but now truthfully, truthfully
I feel, I feel better when I'm broken
Yeah, I feel better when I'm lonely
I feel better with no money, oh
I feel, I feel better when I'm broken
Yeah, I feel better when I'm lonely
I feel better with no money, oh
Nothing was the same back in '14
Feel like I got traded from the home team
Somehow "look I made it" was an old dream
But oh my God, almost had the whole thing
Really what's a high with no comedown
Haven't left the house for a month now
Still I'm feeling right, watch me come around
'Cause I think I see better when the sun's down
'Cause you and me, yeah, you and me
We popped them shits and took a ride on some truancy
We'd fantasize about our lives and the jewelry
That we might one day get
We got it but now truthfully, truthfully
I feel, I feel better when I'm broken
Yeah, I feel better when I'm lonely
I feel better with no money, oh
I feel, I feel better when I'm broken
Yeah, I feel better when I'm lonely
I feel better with no money, oh
"Feel Better" by Honors is a song that dives deep into the feelings of being lost and broken, but finding comfort in those moments. The song paints a picture of late nights and struggling to keep up with life. The lyrics reveal a sense of regret for not seeing the beauty and light that was once there. However, the chorus suggests that there is a silver lining to being down and out. There is almost an acceptance of the pain, and even a celebration of it, as the singer proclaims that they feel better when they are broken, lonely and with no money. The song seems to suggest that the lowest of lows can lead to personal growth and enlightenment.
The verses in this song present vivid imagery to support the message. The lines "old spot's looking like a ghost town" and "haven't left the house for a month now" show how the singer has become disconnected from their surroundings. However, it's interesting to note that the chorus suggests that there is a sense of comfort in being disconnected from the world, which is something that is rarely acknowledged in pop culture. Additionally, the poetic lines "Really what's a high with no comedown" and "When we make it home we'll be outta line" bring the listener into the world of the song. They are relatable and beautifully written.
Overall, "Feel Better" by Honors is a captivating song that explores complex emotions with a bold sense of vulnerability. It reminds the listener that it's okay to feel lost, and that sometimes the darkest times can bring about the best growth.

Hard to believe this jam never took off. Discovered it with 148 views. 1 of the best songs of 2018.
@HomeStudioBasics
Read the description, listened to the song. Don't ever change. The world is fake, and the industry is twisted. Good message. People don't understand what the price for fame really is until they're in it and can't get out.
