Way You Make Me Feel
Radiant Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time it comes and time it goes
Through our fingers and our souls
It's felt

Long lost love in history
All I have are memories
With me

I still want to fall in love with you again

The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel so bad
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel so bad
It's like hiding under water
I can't stay here for long

Tides are turning on the line
Bringing life to eyes that cry endless
Now my ship is coming in
Breaking waves of emptiness with hope

I still want to fall in love with you again

The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel so bad
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel so bad
It's like hiding under water
I can't stay here for long

I still want to fall in love with you again
I still want to fall in love with you again

I still want to fall in love with you again
I still want to fall in love with you again...

In Radiant's song, "Way You Make Me Feel," the lyrics are expressing the feeling of nostalgia for an old love that has been lost. The opening lines, "Time it comes and time it goes, Through our fingers and our souls, It's felt" describe the passing of time and how it can feel like it slips away without us even realizing.

The chorus of the song, "The Way You Make Me Feel, the way you make me feel so bad" is about how the person's love still has a hold on them, such that just thinking about it or remembering the old times can make them feel both good and bad. The line, "It's like hiding under water, I can't stay here for long" further emphasizes that the singer is in some kind of pain or discomfort from this reminiscence, and they are struggling to move on. However, the lines, "Tides are turning on the line, Bringing life to eyes that cry endless, Now my ship is coming in, Breaking waves of emptiness with hope" suggest that there is a glimmer of hope and that life is bringing in new and better things.

In conclusion, Radiant's "Way You Make Me Feel" is a bittersweet song about reminiscing on a past relationship that has been lost. It captures the mixed emotions that can arise when looking back on a significant time in one's life, while also conveying the hope for a better future.
