FEEL
Robbie Williams London Session Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given

I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language

I don't understand

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins, going to waste

I don't wanna die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I'm preparing to leave her

I scare myself to death
That's why I keep on running
Before I've arrived
I can see myself coming

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins, going to waste

And I need to feel
Real love
And a life ever after
I cannot give it up

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
I got too much love
Running through my veins, to go to waste

I just wanna feel real love
In a life ever after, there's a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It's a real big place

Come and hold my hand
I want to contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given

Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand

Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Robbie Williams's song "Feel" delve into the singer's inner struggle to find a sense of purpose and meaning in life. The singer begins by seeking to connect with others, but quickly realizes that he doesn't fully comprehend the role he's been given. He speaks to God, but finds that even God doesn't seem to have much guidance for him. The disconnect between what he feels and what he understands is a recurring theme in the song.

The singer's search for love is rooted in a desire for something real and tangible. The chorus repeats the statement "I just wanna feel real love" several times, emphasizing its importance to the singer. Love represents a home that he can live in, a space that he can occupy and call his own. With too much life running through his veins, the singer is fearful that his existence will ultimately be for naught unless he can connect with this love he seeks.

The singer is conflicted about his feelings towards life. He declares that he doesn't want to die, but at the same time, he doesn't feel particularly keen on living either. He wants to fall in love, but he's already preparing to leave the one he loves. He's running towards something, but he's also running away from it. The final lines of the song suggest that the hole in his soul is something that he can't quite define or fill, but that he wants to reach out to the living in order to try.

Line by Line Meaning

Come on hold my hand
I want someone to support me through this confusing and lonely journey

I wanna contact the living
I want to feel alive and connect with others

Not sure I understand
I feel lost and uncertain about my purpose

This role I've been given
I feel like I have a predetermined destiny, but I don't know what it is

I sit and talk to God
I seek guidance and meaning from a higher power

And he just laughs at my plans
Despite my efforts, I feel like my life is out of my control and unpredictable

My head speaks a language
My thoughts and emotions are complex and difficult to interpret

I just wanna feel real love
I crave genuine connection and emotion

Feel the home that I live in
I want to feel comfortable and secure where I live

'Cause I got too much life
I feel like I have so much potential and energy to give

Running through my veins, going to waste
But it feels like I can't use it or make a difference

I don't wanna die
I don't want to give up or lose my chance to make an impact

But I ain't keen on living either
But I struggle with finding the meaning and purpose of my life

Before I fall in love
Before I commit and invest myself in something or someone

I'm preparing to leave her
I anticipate failure or disappointment in the future

I scare myself to death
I'm terrified of failing, being rejected, or never finding fulfillment

That's why I keep on running
So I keep moving, trying new things, or avoiding commitment

Before I've arrived
But it feels like I'm running in place or making no progress

I can see myself coming
And I already anticipate my own disappointment or failure

And I need to feel
I require

Real love
Genuine connection and affection

And a life ever after
A fulfilling and meaningful existence

I cannot give it up
I refuse to abandon hope for something meaningful

I got too much love
I have so much affection and desire to give to others

To go to waste
I don't want it to be in vain or meaningless

In a life ever after, there's a hole in my soul
Even if I find fulfillment, I will always feel incomplete or lacking

You can see it in my face
My emotional struggles are evident and visible to others

It's a real big place
My sense of incompleteness is significant and palpable

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand
I just wanna feel
Real love feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
I don't wanna die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I'm preparing to leave her
Scare myself to death
That's why I keep on running
Before I've arrived
I can see myself coming
I just wanna feel
Real love feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
And I need to feel
Real love and the love ever after
I cannot get enough
I just wanna feel
Real love feel the home that I live in
I got too much love
Running through my veins
To go to waste
I just wanna feel
Real love and the love ever after
There's a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It's a real big place
Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand

En realidad la versión a color siempre estuvo, es propia del dvd single del 2002

Maravillosa canción, desde que Robbie William la lanzó me identifique con su mensaje. Aun me sigue palpitando y produciendo un escalofrío, esta cancion llego a mi vida en un momento adecuado.
