What You Feel
Orchestra [Orchestra] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got me all flustered, face is red
Ooh, what you said
When you said what you said
Ooh, what you did
Got me all bashful like a kid
Ooh, what you did
When you did what you did
Fun is fun, but look at what you've done
Ain't you the naughty one, talking that way
Say, are you joking or just outspoken?
Ooh, what you said
Ought to go cover up my head
When you whispered, "I love you"
Ooh, what you said
The song "What You Feel" by Orchestra is a sweet and romantic ode to the feeling of being caught off guard by someone's unexpected words and actions. The lyrics start with the singer feeling flustered and red-faced after someone says something to them that they weren't expecting. The repetition of "Ooh, what you said" emphasizes the shock and surprise of this moment. The next verse has a similar structure, but instead of words, it's someone's actions that catch the singer off guard. They feel bashful and childlike, again highlighting the power someone can have over our emotions.
The chorus brings a bit of levity to the situation, implying that the person being sung to is a bit of a troublemaker for speaking and acting so boldly. The line "Say, are you joking or just outspoken?" shows that the singer is a bit unsure of how to read this person's behavior, adding another layer of complexity to the song's mood.
When the climax of the song arrives, it's revealed that the person being sung to has whispered "I love you" to the singer, causing them to feel overwhelmed and in need of hiding their head. This moment is the pinnacle of vulnerability and intimacy, showing that even the boldest and most outspoken among us can sometimes feel timid and overwhelmed when faced with unexpectedly strong emotions.
Overall, "What You Feel" is a charming and relatable song about the power of unexpected words and actions, and the complex emotions they can inspire.

There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of a rolling wave
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we've got this far
And can you feel the love tonight? (Tonight)
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
There's a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours
And can you feel the love tonight? (Tonight)
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we've got this far
And can you feel the love tonight? (Tonight)
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
