FEEL
Take That Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 want to 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 want to 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 want to 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 want to 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

In Take That's song "Feel," the lyrics reveal a deep sense of confusion and uncertainty amidst an overwhelming desire for love and connection. The song starts with the singer asking someone to hold his hand, indicating a need for physical and emotional comfort. He expresses a desire to "contact the living," suggesting that he feels disconnected from others around him, perhaps even questioning his own existence. He confesses that he's not sure he understands the "role" he's been given, which could refer to his place in life or even his purpose.


The chorus of the song is a powerful plea for real love and a sense of belonging. The singer feels that he has "too much life running through his veins" to go to waste, emphasizing a fear of not making the most of his time on earth. He's scared of living, but he's equally afraid of dying before he's truly experienced loving and being loved. He admits that he scares himself to death, which is why he keeps running- perhaps a metaphor for avoiding intimacy and vulnerability.


Overall, "Feel" is a poignant and relatable song about the human need for love and connection. It speaks to the anxiety and uncertainty that often plague us as we search for meaning and purpose in life. The chorus's repetition of "I just want to feel real love" is both heart-wrenching and hopeful. It suggests that despite the singer's struggles, he's still holding out hope for a life full of genuine love and a purpose that he can understand.

Bible calls us to give out RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, no to keep our mouth shut and support everything with blind eyes and deaf ears.

See no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil – that old saying, it belongs to masons, am I right again? The vow of silence of theirs.
