This Is How It Feels
Stepson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why can't I move on?
Why can't I find someone who makes me happy?
I can't, I've tried
But I hope you're happy
Because I'm far from being fine and
I hope you're happy
I was never good enough for you
I was scared of the truth
Scared that it was possible
That I could love you
And the thing that hurts the most
Is that I made you my happiness
And now that you're gone
You've taken it with you
You say you give
But all you do is take
And you've taken everything
That makes me, me
Why can't I let you go?
Why can't I move on?
Why can't I find someone who makes me happy
I can't, I've tried
This is how it feels to feel nothing
I wonder how it feels to feel something again
Is this how you feel? Like nothing?
I wonder how you feel, I need to know
Have you ever felt worthless?
You make me feel worthless
Have you ever felt worthless?
Have you ever felt?

They express feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness, believing that they were never good enough for their former partner. The lyrics detail the aftermath of the relationship, with the singer struggling to find their footing without the person they loved.
The chorus of the song is particularly impactful, with the repetition of the line "Why can't I let you go? Why can't I move on? Why can't I find someone who makes me happy?" This repetition reflects the cyclical nature of heartbreak and how it can feel like a never-ending struggle to move on. The bridge of the song is particularly poignant, with the singer wondering if their ex feels the same pain and worthlessness that they do.
Overall, "This Is How It Feels" is a powerful and relatable song about the pain of heartbreak and the struggle to move on from someone you once loved. It speaks to the universal experience of breakups and the emotional baggage that comes with them.

Mengapa saya tidak bisa membiarkan Anda pergi?
Why can't I let you go?
Mengapa saya tidak bisa melanjutkan?
Why can't I move on?
Mengapa saya tidak dapat menemukan seseorang yang membuat saya bahagia?
Why can't I find someone who makes me happy?
Saya tidak bisa, saya sudah mencoba, saya tidak bisa, saya sudah mencoba
I can't, I've tried, I can't, I've tried
Tapi saya harap Anda bahagia karena saya jauh dari baik-baik saja
But I hope you're happy because I'm far from being fine
Dan saya harap Anda bahagia karena saya hanya membuang-buang waktu
And I hope you're happy because I'm just a waste of time
Aku tidak pernah cukup baik untukmu, aku takut akan kebenaran
I was never good enough for you, I was scared of the truth
Takut mungkin aku bisa mencintaimu
Scared that it was possible that I could love you
Dan hal yang paling menyakitkan adalah aku menjadikanmu kebahagiaan
And the thing that hurts the most is that I made you my happiness
Dan sekarang setelah Anda pergi, Anda telah membawanya
And now that you're gone, you've taken it with you
Anda mengatakan Anda memberi tetapi yang Anda lakukan hanyalah menerima
You say you give but all you do is take
Dan Anda telah mengambil semua yang membuat saya (Itu membuat saya)
And you've taken everything that makes me (That makes me)
Mengapa saya tidak bisa membiarkan Anda pergi?
Why can't I let you go?
Mengapa saya tidak bisa melanjutkan?
Why can't I move on?
Mengapa saya tidak dapat menemukan seseorang yang membuat saya bahagia?
Why can't I find someone who makes me happy?
Saya tidak bisa, saya sudah mencoba, saya tidak bisa, saya sudah mencoba
I can't, I've tried, I can't, I've tried
Beginilah rasanya tidak merasakan apa-apa
This is how it feels to feel nothing
Aku bertanya-tanya bagaimana rasanya merasakan sesuatu lagi
I wonder how it feels to feel something again
Apakah ini yang Anda rasakan, seperti bukan apa-apa?
Is this how you feel, like nothing?
Saya ingin tahu bagaimana perasaan Anda, saya perlu tahu
I wonder how you feel, I need to know
Pernahkah Anda merasakan, pernahkah Anda merasakan?
Have you ever felt, have you ever felt?
Pernahkah Anda merasa tidak berharga?
Have you ever felt worthless?
Anda membuat saya merasa tidak berharga
You make me feel worthless
Pernahkah Anda merasa tidak berharga?
Have you ever felt worthless?
Pernahkah Anda merasakan, pernahkah Anda merasakan?
Have you ever felt, have you ever felt?
Pernahkah Anda merasakan, pernahkah Anda merasakan?
Have you ever felt, have you ever felt?

Holy shit, the lyrics explain exactly what I'm going through. This was beautiful.

This is exactly how I feel too. It's been years and I'm still feeling this... I've had other girlfriends since her, but none made me feel like this girl did. She was my first love and she'll always be in my heart. Every hardship I've endured, I've always thought of her and that thought gave me the strength to get through it. In fact, I've just been sitting here and thinking of her and this song started playing in my Favorites Playlist. Anyways, I just wanted to say this to say that most people go through this at least once in their lives. I just wish I could be there for the people that are going this too. I hope people take comfort in at least the thought that they aren't the only ones going through this.
