Feeling Good
M. Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stuck in my time
Not really knowing
Where i'm at most of my life
We could really try avoid it now
If you'd like
Showing off our problems
But I won't even mention it
I won't even say a word
While you're like looking right at me
Does it feel right
Facing the questions
Looking in the mirror of your life
Looking in the mirror of your life
Now you're living on the brighter side
Make yourself at home
Stuck in the shadows
cnd I'll face it all on my own
cnd I'll face it all on my own
cre you feeling good now
cre you feeling good now
I've been afraid of striking out
Most of my life
Feeding the fear
That keeps me out of the light
Though my voice is shaking now
It's not too loud
I know you hate it
You always said it was wrong
But I won't even mention it
I won't even say a word
While you're like looking right at me
Does it feel right
Facing the questions
Looking in the mirror of your life
Looking in the mirror of your life
Now you're living on the brighter side
Make yourself at home
Stuck in the shadows
cnd I'll face it all on my own
cnd I'll face it all on my way
cre you feeling good now
In M. Harris's song "Feeling Good," the lyrics explore a sense of self-doubt and insecurity that the singer experiences. They describe themselves as oblivious and not knowing where they are in life most of the time. The mention of avoiding problems and the idea of showing off their problems getting in the way suggests a reluctance to confront difficult emotions and vulnerabilities within themselves and their relationships.
Despite this, the singer decides not to mention or acknowledge these internal struggles, indicating a desire to maintain a facade of strength and composure. The repeated question of "Does it feel right?" directed at the listener implies a need for validation and a search for reassurance in their actions and choices. The mirror metaphor represents self-reflection and introspection, suggesting that the singer is trying to understand themselves better and find their place in the world.
The second half of the song shifts towards a brighter perspective as the singer states, "Now you're living on the brighter side." This suggests a newfound sense of positivity and optimism, perhaps as a result of facing their fears and embracing their true selves. The line "I'll face it all on my own" implies a determination to confront challenges independently and find inner strength.
Overall, "Feeling Good" by M. Harris delves into themes of self-identity, insecurity, and personal growth. It highlights the struggle to navigate through life's uncertainties and the importance of embracing one's true self.
