Stylisticly, The Feeling have a debt of gratitude to the 70s, particularly bands such as 10cc, Supertramp, Pilot, Buggles, Queen, Stackridge, and other "progressive pop" acts. They are not averse to wearing their heart on their sleeve at gigs, playing covers of tunes by their favourite artists (such as 'Video Killed The Radio Star' by Buggles).
The Feeling have also followed the 'progressive' tradition of the concept album, with Twelve Stops and Home being a concept album about lost and unrequited love. The album starts with a relationship having just broken up, then follows through with the various emotions of the protagonist from hopeless dreamer to turning to drink for comfort, and finally slumping home.
Same Old Stuff
The Feeling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whats eating you inside
I know someone said I aint your kind
Who knows that maybe their right
Do you feel it in your bones
And bones beneath your skin
And the blood that flows within
My love we're made of the same old stuff
Same old stuff
It's not hard
Just look at how close we are
Instead of how far
My love we're made of the same old stuff
Same old stuff
It's not hard
Just look at how close we are
Instead of how far
So what tell me what you got to hide
Do we all get pulled back sometimes
You feel cold
You feel so low
Just the same as i
I feel it in my bones
And I feel it in my skin
And the blood that flows within
I thought it was obvious
My love we're made of the same old stuff
Same old stuff
It's not hard
Just look at how close we are
Instead of how far
I did it your way
Don't push it baby
Theres nothing more than bones and impressions now
Same old, same old, same old
There's nothing more
Same old, same old, same old
There's nothing more
My love its time
My love.
Same old, same old
Same, same old...
In "Same Old Stuff" by The Feeling, the lyrics convey a message of unity and acceptance through the realization that all humans are essentially made up of the same biological materials. The song opens with a plea to a loved one to be honest and share what they are feeling inside as someone may have told them that they are not suited for each other. The chorus of the song emphasizes the fact that love and relationships are not rocket science but are as simple as realizing that everyone is made up of the same structure and the same materials, thus we are all fundamentally related.
The artist talks about the feeling of being pulled back sometimes and feeling low, maybe due to certain things that have happened. However, the realization that everyone goes through the same experiences and emotions is what brings us together. The third verse of the song is a plea to be accepted as we are, with all our flaws and vulnerabilities, while the final verse is a realization that at the end of the day, we all will return to nothing more than bones and impressions. The song ultimately emphasizes the importance of unity, empathy, and being a part of something bigger than oneself.
Line by Line Meaning
My love look me in the eye don't lie
I need you to be honest with me when we talk face to face
Whats eating you inside
What is bothering you internally?
I know someone said I aint your kind
I am aware that someone thinks we are not meant for each other
Who knows that maybe their right
Perhaps they are correct
Do you feel it in your bones
Can you sense this at your very core?
And bones beneath your skin
Do you also sense this feeling within your very being?
And the blood that flows within
Does this feeling course through your veins, as well?
I thought it was obvious
I believed that it was evident
My love we're made of the same old stuff Same old stuff It's not hard Just look at how close we are Instead of how far
We are fundamentally similar, and it should be evident from our proximity to each other. We should focus on this instead of our differences.
So what tell me what you got to hide
Please share with me what you are holding back
Do we all get pulled back sometimes
Do we all have moments where we regress?
You feel cold You feel so low Just the same as i
You experience the same cold and low feelings as I do
I feel it in my bones And I feel it in my skin And the blood that flows within I thought it was obvious
I, too, feel strongly about us, and I assumed it was clear
I did it your way Don't push it baby Theres nothing more than bones and impressions now
I followed your lead, so let's not complicate things. We are all just flesh and memories in the end.
Same old, same old, same old There's nothing more Same old, same old, same old There's nothing more
This is a recurring pattern, and there is no need for anything else
My love its time My love.
It is time for us to act on our feelings for each other
Same old, same old Same, same old...
We are still in the same place we have always been
