Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me again why I have to change
Couldnt stand myself
Felt like someone else
With you
Let it go it will eat you
The hole inside will destroy you
Felt like someone else
How does it feel
(How)
Isn't this what you wanted
To be on your own
(All alone)
Your own
(All alone)
How does it feel
(How)
I'm already far from here and I will go on
(All alone)
Go on
(All Alone)
How does it feel
I'm still all over your sheets
(I'm still all over your sheets)
I hope it's hard just to breathe in
(I hope it's hard just to breathe in)
Can you stand yourself
Can you let it go
When I'm somewhere else
Let me know
How does it feel
(How)
Isn't this what you wanted
To be on your own
(All alone)
Your own
(All alone)
How does it feel
(How)
I'm already far from here and I will go on
(All alone)
Go on
(All Alone)
How
How
How
How
How does it feel
(How)
Isn't this what you wanted
To be on your own
(All alone)
Your own
(All alone)
How does it feel
(How)
I'm already far from here and I will go on
(All alone)
Go on
(All Alone)
How
All alone
All alone
How does it feel
Go on
All alone
Go on
All alone
How does it feel
The song "How Does It Feel" by Julia Vero is a powerful expression of the pain and confusion felt by someone who has recently ended a relationship. The lyrics reveal a mixture of regret, self-doubt, and a longing for clarity in the aftermath of the breakup. The song starts with the singer questioning the reasons for the breakup, asking the other person to explain why she needs them and why she has to change. The first verse ends with her feeling like "someone else" when she's with the other person, suggesting that the relationship was not fulfilling her needs and may have caused her to compromise her own identity.
In the chorus, she repeatedly asks "How does it feel?" - seemingly directed at the other person, but also perhaps directed at herself. The questions reflect a mix of defiance and vulnerability, as she questions whether being alone is what she really wanted, but also acknowledges that she is already "far from here" and has accepted that she will move on alone. The bridge of the song is particularly emotional, as she reveals that she is still haunted by the physical presence of her ex-lover - "I'm still all over your sheets" - but hopes that they are suffering in turn. Ultimately, however, she expresses a desire for closure: "Can you stand yourself / Can you let it go / When I'm somewhere else / Let me know".
