Feel Good
Illenium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm too proud to ask for help
When you see me beside myself
I don't have to explain it, baby
Yeah, I'm over picking fights
And trying to mend it with the high
Don't wanna know that I'm not right
I know that I've been lately, lately
Yeah, sometimes I need someone to pick me up
Overdose my mind with the things I love
You can take me there
When my heart beats, when my heart beats free
Take my hand in the middle of a crisis
Pull me close, show me, baby, where the light is
I was scared of a heart I couldn't silence
But you make me, you make me feel good, I like it
Take my hand in the middle of a crisis
Pull me close, show me, baby, where the light is
I was scared of a heart I couldn't silence
But you make me, you make me feel good, I like it
But you make me, you make me feel good
Yeah, I get over-overwhelmed
When all these problems burn like hell
Maybe I just need a friend
Who never calls me crazy, crazy
You pull me off the front line before I run
Keep me cool, but not get overdone
You can take me thereWhen my heart speaks, when my heart speaks free
Take my hand in the middle of a crisis
Pull me close, show me, baby, where the light is
I was scared of a heart I couldn't silence
But you make me, you make me feel good, I like it
Take my hand in the middle of a crisis
Pull me close, show me, baby, where the light is
I was scared of a heart I couldn't silence
But you make me, you make me feel good, I like it
But you make me, you make me feel good, I like it, I like it
You make me, you make me feel good
Taking the weights off
To help with the pressure
And I was here stressing
Thinking it mattered
Been with you for hours, but it feels like seconds
It's only moments and I'm in heaven
It's only moments and I'm in heaven, oh
You make me feel good
You make me feel good
You make me, you make me feel good, I like it
Take my hand in the middle of a crisis
Pull me close, show me, baby, where the light is
I was scared of a heart I couldn't silence
But you make me, you make me feel good, I like it
Na-na-na-na-na-na, oh
Na-na-na-na-na-na

Yeah, I doubt, I doubt myself
I lack confidence in myself
And I'm too proud to ask for help
I am unwilling to ask for assistance due to my pride
When you see me beside myself
When you witness me struggling with myself
I don't have to explain it, baby
I do not need to provide an explanation for my emotions to you
Yeah, I'm over picking fights
I no longer want to engage in arguments
And trying to mend it with the high
I am no longer trying to solve problems with substances
Don't wanna know that I'm not right
I do not want to acknowledge that I am not okay
I know that I've been lately, lately
I am aware that I have not been doing well recently
Yeah, sometimes I need someone to pick me up
Sometimes I require someone to lift my spirits
Overdose my mind with the things I love
Surround me with the things that bring me joy
You can take me there
You have the ability to transport me to a better place
When my heart beats, when my heart beats free
When I am at peace with my emotions
Take my hand in the middle of a crisis
Guide me when I am struggling
Pull me close, show me, baby, where the light is
Comfort me and lead me towards positivity
I was scared of a heart I couldn't silence
I was afraid of my own emotions that I could not control
But you make me, you make me feel good, I like it
You bring me happiness and I enjoy it
But you make me, you make me feel good
You make me feel happy
Yeah, I get over-overwhelmed
I become extremely stressed and anxious
When all these problems burn like hell
When all of my issues seem too difficult to handle
Maybe I just need a friend
Perhaps having a companion would suffice
Who never calls me crazy, crazy
Someone who will not judge me for my emotions or actions
You pull me off the front line before I run
You rescue me before I give up in a difficult situation
Keep me cool, but not get overdone
Comfort me, but don't overwhelm me with too much support
Taking the weights off
Relieving me of burdens
To help with the pressure
To assist in alleviating stress
And I was here stressing
I was here becoming anxious
Thinking it mattered
Believing that the issue was significant
Been with you for hours, but it feels like seconds
Time flies when I am with you
It's only moments and I'm in heaven
I am blissful when I am with you
Na-na-na-na-na-na, oh
