This Feeling
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll lay out all my reasons, you'll say that I need help
We all got expectations, and sometimes they go wrong
But no one listens to me, so I put it in this song
They tell me think with my head, not that thing in my chest
They got their hands in the air this time
But you're the one that I want, if that's really so wrong
Then they don't know what this feeling is like
Yeah-eah-eah-eah
Yeah-eah
Yeah-eah-eah-eah
And I say yeah-eah
Yeah-eah-eah-eah
Yeah-eah
Yeah-eah-eah-eah
I'll tell them a story, they'll sit and nod their heads
I tell you all my secrets, and you tell all your friends
Hold on to your opinions, and stand by what you said (stand by what you said)
In the end, it's my decision, so it's my fault when it ends
They tell me think with my head, not that thing in my chest
They got their hands I the air this time
But you're the one that I want, if that's really so wrong
Then they don't know what this feeling is like
And I say no-o, no-o-o
No-o, no-o-o
And I say no-o, no-o-o
No-o, no-o-o
I'll tell you a story before it tells itself
I'll lay out all my reasons, you'll say that I need help
We all got expectations, and sometimes they go wrong
But no one listens to me, so I put it in this song
They tell me think with my head, not that thing in my chest
They got their hands in the air this time
But you're the one that I want, if that's really so wrong
Then they don't know what this feeling is like
My friends say no-o, no-o-o
But they don't know (no-o, no-o-o)
No-o, no-o-o
They don't know (no-o, no-o-o)
And I say, yeah
Yeah, and I say, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
No-o-o (yeah-eah-eah-eah)
The song "This Feeling" by KIDZ BOP Kids is about a person who is misunderstood by others and feels like their feelings and decisions are not being taken seriously. The song starts with the singer telling a story before it tells itself, which could mean that they want to share their feelings before they are misconstrued or judged by others. The singer reveals that they have reasons for their actions, but others don't seem to understand and just tell them that they need help. They believe that everyone has expectations, and sometimes these expectations are not met. However, the singer feels like nobody listens to them, so they put all their feelings and thoughts into a song.
The chorus of the song is about the singer's desire for someone who they are not supposed to want. Others keep telling them to think with their head and not their heart, but the singer's heart is telling them that this person is the one they want. They feel like nobody understands this feeling, and they say "yeah-eah" to express the intensity of this emotion. In the second verse, the singer talks about how they tell their secrets to someone they trust, but that person shares their secrets with others. They realize that everyone has their own opinions, but in the end, it's their own decision, and they take responsibility for it.
The song seems to be about the struggle to have your feelings and decisions respected and understood by others. It can be difficult when nobody seems to listen or take you seriously, and this can lead to feelings of isolation and being misunderstood.
