The Feeling
Peter Bjorn & John Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Repeat: x3]
I feel it
Can you feel it?
There's something in the air

I'm feeling that all the things we are is enough
It's just about time
Been waiting for signs
Last time we got high

We thought we had the puzzle worked out
But drink up with your eyes
We're tired of being washed out
You don't need my advice
We just need to stop saying goodbye

It's hard to understand
It's easy to make things land
We know how to walk out
But not how to get in
It's hard to understand
The answer is in your hands
Start turning down the fans
But please prepare for change

[Repeat: x4]
I feel it
Can you feel it?
There's something in the air

[Repeat: x4]
I feel it
Can you feel it?





I feel it I feel it I feel it
I feel it I feel it I feel it

Overall Meaning

The song β€œThe Feeling” by Peter Bjorn & John has a very evocative and magnetic tune, which is further reinforced by the lyrics. The song repeatedly asks the listener if they too can feel the same thing which the song is seemingly trying to convey, indicating a shared experience. The line β€œThere’s something in the air” suggests an intangible yet omnipresent force that’s affecting the collective subconscious of people around it. This feeling is strong enough to make the singer contemplate how all the things that they are is enough, indicating a moment of introspection during which the singer has gained a sense of self-worth. However, this feeling is tinged with a sense of uncertainty as the singer acknowledges that it’s hard to understand what they’re feeling and even harder to navigate the changes it brings.


The lyrics of the song appear to suggest that the feeling that the singer is experiencing is something of a spiritual or existential nature, with lines like β€œThe answer is in your hands” and β€œPlease prepare for change.” The singer deeply feels whatever it is that's taking shape in the air, but at the same time they feel lost as they try to understand it while constantly reminding themselves that change is on the horizon. Overall, the song seems to convey a sense of anticipation, urgency and apprehension as the singer tries to come to grips with the changes that the intangible force appears to be driving.
