Feel
House of Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It comes to you
And whatever you say
It was in his eyes
A raging fire
That says "see me"
That says "I need
At twenty-five
And sick of life
And not the time
To say "I care
To see the sign
Of a million eyes"
But not the way
To say "I need
To feel the love
To feel the love"
As safe as sand
We know this world
To slide away
This need to die
At twenty-five
And justified
To loose the time
And say "I care."
It's not a crime
To find the will
But it's not the way
To say "I need
To feel the love
To feel the love"
At twenty-five
And sick of life
And not the time
To say "I care
To see the sign
Of a million eyes"
And not the way
To say I need
At sixty-five
And justified
To loose the time
And say "I care"
It's not a crime
To find the will,
But not the way
To say "I need
To feel the love
To feel the love"
The song "Feel" by House of Love is a reflection on the human desire for connection and love. The lyrics describe a person who sees a sign, which could symbolize a sign from the universe or a sign from someone they care about. This sign leads the person to realize that they need to feel love and to be seen by others. The raging fire in their eyes represents their strong desire to be noticed and loved by others.
The chorus repeats the line "At twenty-five and sick of life," indicating that the person is experiencing a mid-life crisis and questioning the purpose of their existence. However, they also realize that it's not a crime to find the will to want love and to be seen by others.
The second verse talks about the fleeting nature of life by comparing it to sand that can easily slide away. The lyrics then repeat the chorus and end with the same lines: "But not the way to say 'I need to feel the love, to feel the love.'"
The song presents a universal message about the importance of love as a basic human need. We all want to be seen, heard and loved, and the song encourages us to acknowledge that need without shame. It also sheds light on the idea that there is a right and a wrong way to say that we need love, acknowledging that it can be difficult to express those emotions in a way that is healthy and constructive.

Future Shock
I've still got their debut album on vinyl bought (Cough) back in the 90's they were ahead of their time imo

Definitely. Their music is fantastic. It's timeless. Listen to it now and brings me back to my student days in the 90s 💔

This is such a great song, I've loved it ever since I first heard it.
I've never seen this video, so thanks a lot!
It reminds me a lot of the early 1990s! :)
(The entire album "Babe Rainbow" is superb in my opinion...
...and I love the rest of the music this band has done too!)
