Feels Like Forever
Mikaela Davis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want you to know how I feel.
Building walls, building walls just for the thrill.
I'm coming home, but soon enough I'll be leaving.
I don't know, I don't know who to believe in.

and it feels like forever
oh it feels like forever
I just want you to know how I feel.
Burning walls, burning walls just for the thrill.
You're on the phone, our love is stoned and leaving.
I'm coming home, but soon enough I'll be leaving.

and it feels like forever
oh it feels like forever





and it feels like forever
oh it feels like forever

Overall Meaning

In the song "Feels Like Forever" by Mikaela Davis, the lyrics express a sense of emotional complexity and confusion. The singer is struggling with their feelings and the fear of vulnerability, hence not wanting their love interest to know how they feel. Instead, they are erecting walls, protecting themselves with the isolation that those walls provide. At the same time, they are coming home, implying a sense of longing or desire for connection, but are aware that this connection may be temporary, and they will inevitably leave. This adds to a sense of the impermanence of relationships, making it tough to decide who to believe in.


It's notable that there is a subtle shift in the language in the second verse. Rather than building walls, the singer is burning walls for the thrill of it. This might imply a sense of trying to excite something or ignite passion in themselves, though it is unclear whether this attempt is successful. The mention of love being stoned also suggests a feeling of detachment or an inability to connect with one's emotions, which reinforces the sentiment of emotional confusion and complexity communicated in the song.


Overall, the song is a poignant portrayal of the fear and vulnerability that can arise in personal relationships, as well as the desire for connection that persists even within such complexities.
