Feel Better
Simon Steadman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well you don't know
The weight of the world
Is beginning to kill you
Honesty
Will remind you
Correcting the words that come out of
Your mouth
Come on come on
Get out of control
Got your foot in the door
With fire in your soul
And you feel like you know too much
You know nothing at all
Come on come on
Just look at yourself
Well you made up your mind
It's bad for your health
There's a four letter word that makes you feel better
But you don't understand
The damage you've done
What is it
Well you don't know
The weight of the world
Is beginning to kill you
Honesty
Will remind you
Correcting the words that come out of
Your mouth
Come on come on
Get out of control
Got your foot in the door
With fire in your soul
And you feel like you know too much
You know nothing at all
Come on come on
Just look at yourself
Well you made up your mind
It's bad for your health
There's a four letter word that makes you feel better
But you don't understand
The damage you've done
Come on come on
Come on come on
Come on come on
Get out of control
Got your foot in the door
With fire in your soul
And you feel like you know too much
You know nothing at all
Come on come on
Just look at yourself
Well you made up your mind
It's bad for your health
There's a four letter word that makes you feel better
But you don't understand
The damage you've done
Come on come on
Get out of control
Got your foot in the door
With fire in your soul
And you feel like you know too much
You know nothing at all
Come on come on
Just look at yourself
Well you made up your mind
It's bad for your health
There's a four letter word that makes you feel better
But you don't understand
The damage you've done
Come on come on
Get out of control
Got your foot in the door
With fire in your soul
And you feel like you know too much
You know nothing at all
Come on come on
Just look at yourself
Well you made up your mind
It's bad for your health
There's a four letter word that makes you feel better
But you don't understand
The damage you've done
The lyrics to Simon Steadman's song Feel Better seem to be about someone who is feeling overwhelmed by the weight of the world and is searching for a way to feel better. The opening lines suggest that this person is struggling with something, but they cannot quite pinpoint what it is. The following lines suggest that honesty might be the key to their problems, as they need to be honest with themselves and others about how they are feeling.
The chorus encourages this person to let go and get out of control. They have a fire burning inside them, and they feel like they know too much, but really, they know nothing at all. This can be interpreted as a message of surrendering control and simply letting life take its course. The last verse reveals that this person may have turned to a four-letter word to make them feel better, but they are not aware of the damage they have done.
Overall, the song seems to be encouraging the listener to be honest with themselves and others, to recognize the limits of their understanding, and to surrender control to the universe.
