Felt
Sauna Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd like to stay here tonight
Cut out of diamonds said, ""Now would you want me?""
But, so sure it's felt out of time
So out of reach and I'm taken out into the light

Can you assure me tonight?
So I don't touch and I no longer fold inside
Reclusive until we recline,

Still out of reach and I'm fading out into your eyes

I felt it

I'd like to spare you some time
Clutching your diamonds, said, ""Now where'd you want me?""
But, I'd like to punch out on time
Just out of reach and it's not just a fault of the light

Can you return me tonight?
Selling a taste, just a fortune we take aside

Until you're called out of line
Sucking our teeth as we fade out of thought and of mind

Overall Meaning

In Sauna's song "Felt," the lyrics express the desire to stay in the present moment with someone, rather than letting the past and future cloud the experience. The opening line, "I'd like to stay here tonight," sets the tone for the song's theme of wanting to be present. The following lines, "Cut out of diamonds said, 'Now would you want me?'" suggest that the singer is in a romantic situation where they are being enjoyed and admired by their partner. However, despite feeling desired, the singer is still unsure if this moment in time is real or out of reach. The line "So out of reach and I'm taken out into the light" highlights the idea that the singer feels like they are in a dream state, where reality and imagination intertwine.

The chorus of the song, "I felt it," emphasizes that despite feeling uncertain about the moment, the singer is still present and experiencing it fully. The second verse builds on the theme of being present, with the line "I'd like to spare you some time," as the singer expresses a desire to make the most of the moment with the person they are with. The line, "Just out of reach and it's not just a fault of the light," suggests that the previous uncertainty was due to more than just a trick of perception. The last part of the verse, "Can you return me tonight? Selling a taste, just a fortune we take aside," could be interpreted as a plea to the partner to help them stay present and value this moment in time.

Overall, "Felt" is a song about wanting to stay present in a moment with someone, even when uncertainty and doubt creep in. The lyrics highlight the importance of making the most of the time we have with others and cherishing the connections we make in life.
