Feels So Good
Jamiroquai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm stranded on a spaceship hideaway
And something makes me think I'm here to stay
I'm so happy where I am
Feels good
I've journeyed to the other atmosphere
And every breath I take just makes it clear
It's automatic baby and it feels so good
Feels good
These extra-sensory sensations
Are causing me some complications
Electrostatic information
Feels good
I'm playing with a pleasure trafficker
Arriving soon intergalactica
I'm holding heaven in my hands
It's automatic baby and it feels good
Feels good
Feels so good
The lyrics to Jamiroquai's "Feel So Good" describe a feeling of pure joy and contentment, as if the singer has been transported to another dimension where they are completely at ease. The first two lines set the scene: the singer feels as if they are "stranded on a spaceship hideaway," and this is where they are meant to be. This is reinforced in the next couple of lines when the singer asserts that they are "so happy where I am."
The second verse furthers the idea that the singer has been transported somewhere new and exciting. They describe having journeyed to another atmosphere, and feeling as if they are holding heaven in their hands. However, this new world isn't without its complications - the "extra-sensory sensations" are causing some confusion for the singer, and there is a hint of danger with the arrival of the pleasure trafficker.
Overall, though, the lyrics convey a sense of happiness and freedom that comes from being transported somewhere completely new and out of the ordinary. This feeling is reinforced by the repeated refrain of "Feels so good," which emphasizes the joy of the experience.
