feel like shit
Tate McRae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would say I'm pretty tough
But it's been a couple weeks now
And I still feel stuck in my lungs
And usually I go out on nights
And not think of you once
But if they start playin' that song
I can't help but to think about us, oh
Really thought I'd be done with the hardest part
When I pulled myself out of your arms
Wish I knew that was only the start
And now I'm fallin' apart 'cause
Last night for the very first time
You didn't even try to call
Oh, I won't lie, I thought I might die
I couldn't even sleep at all
And maybe I'll get used to it (ah, ah)
But right now I just feel like shit (ah, ah)
Oh, oh
So I kissed somebody else
Just to see how it felt
But all that was goin' through my brain
Was your hands around my waist
You know how to do it so well
Really thought I was done with the hardest part
When I pulled myself out of your arms
Wish I knew that was only the start
And now I'm fallin' apart 'cause
Last night for the very first time
You didn't even try to call (you didn't even try to call)
Oh, I won't lie, I thought I might die
I couldn't even sleep at all
And maybe I'll get used to it (ah, ah)
But right now I just feel like shit (ah, ah)
Oh, oh
Now if I get a little too drunk
I'll start thinkin', "What if you were the one?"
I know that the damage is done
And I still have the shirt that you wore
When we first met, it's there on the floor
I might kick it under the bed
Hopin' that I could forget that
Last night for the very first time
You didn't even try to call
Oh, I won't lie, I thought I might die
I couldn't even sleep at all
And maybe I'll get used to it (ah, ah)
But right now I just feel like shit (ah, ah)
Oh, oh
(Used to it)
(Feel like shit)
The song "feel like shit" by Tate McRae is about the pain and heartache of a breakup. The singer is struggling to move on and feels stuck in her emotions even after a few weeks have passed. She tries to distract herself by going out and being social but all it takes is one song to bring back memories of her ex. Furthermore, the hardest part for her was not when she "pulled herself out of your arms", but it was the aftermath of the breakup, where she falls apart.
The lyrics express how the singer is trying to cope with her emotions. She admits to kissing someone else, but it only reminds her of her ex's touch. She holds onto the memories of their relationship, and even keeps their old shirt as a reminder of him. Lastly, the song touches on how the singer is trying to resist the temptation to call or check up on her ex, but the pain of their separation is too raw.
Overall, the song is relatable to anyone who has gone through a breakup and highlights the challenges of moving on and coping with heartbreak.

I never felt so emotionally connected to choreographic storytelling, but this was done exceptionally well. Tate McRae is a multi-talented artist for sure.
