I Just Got That Feeling
The Allergies Lyrics

I, I just got the feeling
I am experiencing a sudden and intense sensation

C'mon, sometimes I stand in front of the mirror
At times, I find myself reflecting on my own existence

And I think who is that man and how'd he get here
I question my own identity and how I ended up where I am

If I'm honest I'm astonished that I even exist
To be truthful, I am amazed that I am alive

I mean why did I arrive and get to be in the mix
I wonder why I was brought into this world and get to be a part of it

A complicated mass of subatomic particles
I am a complex collection of tiny particles

Spinning while we're clinging to life like barnacles
We are constantly in motion, holding onto life in a similar way to barnacles clinging to a surface

Trying to survive inside the ionosphere
Struggling to thrive within the challenges and complexities of life

Gliding unguided by a gondolier
Navigating through life without a clear guide or direction

Just staring at the sky with one eye
Looking up at the sky, captivated by its beauty

Stumbling by all dumb and tongue-tied
Moving forward clumsily, feeling unable to express myself properly

As we debate about the blast of a catalyst
Engaging in discussions about the impact of influential events

Acting brash when the facts are inadequate
Reacting impulsively when we don't have enough information

And if we're truthful being alive is more than any idea we could speak and describe
Being alive is a profound experience that exceeds our ability to fully comprehend or explain

So rather than use words to comprehend
Instead of relying solely on language to understand

I'm compelled by a feeling to search within
I am driven by a deep sensation to explore my inner self

Whispers float in the air
Faint voices can be heard all around

I don't know a thing but I'm fully aware
Despite my lack of knowledge, I am completely conscious and present

Of some force holding me there
Feeling a mysterious power that keeps me grounded in a certain place

As I reach into the ocean to grip the sea
Attempting to understand the vastness of existence

It slips out of my fingers instantly
Yet, the essence of it eludes me instantaneously

Is this me? I'd like to define my identity
Questioning my true self and yearning to establish my own identity

Looking for design, trying to find symmetry
Seeking patterns and balance in life

Because harmony and dissonance is hardly a coincidence
The presence of both harmony and discord in life is not merely a random occurrence

Or the sum of sorry little incidents
It is not simply a result of insignificant events

So we listen to uncertain existentialism
We turn to the uncertainties of existential philosophy

Serving up a life-sentence sitting in a mental prison
Living a confined existence, trapped by our own thoughts and perceptions

Another captive trapped in traffic
Another person trapped in the monotonous routines of daily life

A half-dead stagger down the path distracted
Moving through life in a zombie-like state, lacking focus and purpose

Complaining in vain our days become lame and mundane
Fruitlessly expressing dissatisfaction as our days lose excitement and become routine

In a haze just playing the game
Engaging in life without much thought or purpose, simply going along with the motions

Noneffective, disconnected
Feeling ineffective and disconnected from the world

Unreceptive, is this a method?
Not open or responsive, questioning if this is a deliberate approach

To make us believe we've got nothing inside
To lead us to believe that we lack inner depth or meaning

So we'll suffer and die without wondering why
Causing us to endure pain and eventually perish without ever questioning the purpose

But still there remains a thirst
Nevertheless, there is an unquenchable desire

And it's never been quenched anywhere on this earth
One that has not been satisfied anywhere in this world

When you can't repeat origin, nothing is predictable
Since it is impossible to recreate the beginning, nothing can be foreseen with certainty

Whether it's empirical or the metaphysical
Regardless of whether it is based on observable evidence or beyond the physical realm

And that's why being alive is more than any idea we can speak and describe
This is why the experience of being alive transcends any concept or explanation we can convey through words

So rather than use words to comprehend
Therefore, instead of relying on language to understand

I'm compelled by a feeling to search within, you go!
I am driven by a sensation to explore my inner self, urging others to do the same

You've got That feeling
You have that same intense sensation
