1. The sleaze/punk influenced metal outfit known as SISTER, who hail from Stockholm/Jönkoping Sweden, formed in early 2006 working hard to build up a name as a strong act both live and in the studio. SISTER consists of 4 members- Jamie on vocals, Tim on guitars and backing vocals, Rikki on bass and backing vocals, and Cari on drums and backing vocals- who combine the sounds of Punk, Glam, Rock, and Metal with an end result sounding something like the bastard child of GG Allin and Guns N' Roses.
During 2006 and 2007 SISTER played all over Sweden and also went abroad as much as possible. In 2008 SISTER toured Europe in countries such as Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Holland, Denmark and Norway and released an EP, Get Down N' Boogie. 2009; SISTER released the EP Deadboys Making Noise and a video for the track “Too Bad for You,” which got garnered great reviews from critics and fans alike while also catching the attention of Primordial’s Alan Averill 'Nemtheanga'. Alan, having recently signed on to assist with A&R at Metal Blade Records, brought SISTER to the label’s attention in 2010 helping to secure the band a worldwide record deal. Hated was released in 2011, with Vengeance Ignited in 2021.

Feel It
Sister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And walked away the times I should have stayed.
I looked away, yeah looked away ... so far away -
and when you asked I said I'm not afraid.
[Bridge]
But now I can't hold it, hold it
Flash a frozen smile when it boils down inside.
Just a little crack
And then the walls come tumblin' down
[Chorus:]
And I Feel It. It's my time don't try to steal it.
Feel it. Reach inside
Feel it. If you ask well I won't conceal it
Feel it. I used to wonder but now I finally know
Papa said the sun it also rises.
But when I turn it's falling from the sky.
It slips away - yeah slips away So far away.
And leaves me staring only at the night.
[Bridge]
But now I can't hold it, hold it
Flash a frozen smile when it boils down inside.
No now I can't hold it, hold it
Just a little crack
And then the walls come tumblin' down
[Chorus]
And I Feel It. It's my time don't try to steal it.
Feel it. Reach inside
Feel it. If you ask well I won't conceal it
Feel it. I used to wonder but now I finally know
Watch the walls come tumblin' down
[Chorus]
And I Feel It. It's my time don't try to steal it.
Feel it. Reach inside
Feel it. If you ask well I won't conceal it
Feel it. I used to wonder but now I finally know
The song "Feel It" by Sister Hazel depicts a sense of longing for self-realization and inner strength. The lyrics express a struggle with the refusal to confront one's emotions and vulnerabilities for fear of appearing weak, but eventually coming to the realization that accepting these aspects is not a sign of weakness, but rather promotes growth and self-discovery. The chorus, "Feel it. It's my time don't try to steal it. Reach inside. If you ask well I won't conceal it. I used to wonder but now I finally know", underscore this message of owning one's truth and not being afraid to express it.
The first verse describes the reluctance to acknowledge feelings and walking away when they should be confronted. The singer admits to looking away and saying they are not afraid when asked. The second verse continues this theme of avoiding one's emotions, referencing the sun's setting as a metaphor for the fear of facing the unknown. The bridge highlights the internal struggle of holding back emotions until they boil over, leading to a crack and the 'walls tumbling down.'
Overall, "Feel It" is a song about the journey to self-discovery and the acceptance of one's vulnerability. It speaks to the importance of being honest with oneself and not hiding away parts of who you are out of fear of judgment or weakness.
Line by Line Meaning
There's been days I've fallen
There have been times when I have experienced setbacks or failures
And walked away the times I should have stayed.
During tough times, I've given up instead of persevering
I looked away, yeah looked away ... so far away -
I blocked out problems or difficulties and avoided facing them
and when you asked I said I'm not afraid.
I pretended that everything was okay when deep down I was scared
But now I can't hold it, hold it
I can no longer suppress my emotions
Flash a frozen smile when it boils down inside.
I used to pretend everything was fine, but now it's becoming unbearable
No now I can't hold it, hold it
My emotions are too strong to keep bottled up
Just a little crack
Even a small weakness is enough to break down my defenses
And then the walls come tumblin' down
My emotional barriers are finally breaking down
And I Feel It. It's my time don't try to steal it.
I can finally sense my own emotional state and I won't let anyone take it away from me
Feel it. Reach inside
I'm finally connecting with my true emotions and addressing them directly
Feel it. If you ask well I won't conceal it
I'm willing to be honest if someone asks me how I feel
Feel it. I used to wonder but now I finally know
I used to be unsure of my own emotional state, but now I'm certain and aware
Papa said the sun it also rises.
My father once told me that even in the toughest of times, the sun will always rise again
But when I turn it's falling from the sky.
Despite this advice, I often feel like I'm stuck in a perpetual state of darkness
It slips away - yeah slips away So far away.
The feeling of hope or positivity can vanish very quickly and leave me feeling isolated
And leaves me staring only at the night.
After hope disappears, I'm left with nothing but negativity and sadness
Watch the walls come tumblin' down
Finally witnessing the breakdown of my emotional walls
