Feeling Good Live
Muse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom in the trees you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life




For me
And I'm feeling good

10 years and counting. Found this, used this as my medicine, and after all these years, you know how I feel?

@captaingrunge3587

Feeling good?

@rc0ll

This sends a clear message to any band who wants to do covers... Muse aren't particularly ones for covers, pretty much all the songs I hear from them are their own, and performing a cover certainly isn't a bad thing... but when you do it, do it in your own original style. This is the same song, same chords, same lyrical flow, but you can love both versions of the song individually rather than comparing which is better. That's something that can't be said for a lot of covers.

i thought they were authors, this song is so "their" and fits so perfectly
