Some Feeling
Mild Orange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were making love
But just getting started
This is Foreplay
Yeah, I've been looking for some feeling
But you've been looking other ways
Yeah, I've been holding for some time now
Yeah, I've been holding on for way too long
Trying to solve it all
Yeah, holding on forever
Oh, to learn
Yeah, you've been on a different wavelength
And I just don't know what to do
But every time I see you, yeah
You're getting me all confused
Yeah, I've been trying this for way too long
Trying to solve it all
Holding on forever
Oh, to learn
It seems some things don't change
And I don't know why
But every time I see you girl
'Cause you been on another wavelength
While I've been looking for some feeling
'Cause I been waiting on
I've been waiting for
Waiting for you
The lyrics of Mild Orange's "Some Feeling" depict a story about a relationship where the singer has been desiring an emotional connection, but their partner seems to be looking for something else.

The use of the word "Foreplay" sends a clear message indicating that it was just a beginning and there was more yearning to follow. The chorus suggests that the singer has been waiting to feel something with their partner as the lyrics read, "Yeah, I've been looking for some feeling, but you've been looking other ways."
The second verse highlights the singer's struggle with their partner's wavering behavior causing them to doubt the longevity of the relationship. They have been holding on for too long, trying to solve the problems, but it has been overwhelming. Even though the singer is trying hard, they always end up getting confused whenever they see their partner. The bridge repeats the same message indicating that things seem to not change, and the singer is stuck waiting, hoping for things to get better.
In conclusion, the lyrics of "Some Feeling" focus on a conflict in a relationship where one partner wants an emotional and physical connection, while the other person seems to be confused about their priorities, leading to a lack of intimacy in their relationship.
