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.
Searched every corner
The Feeling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been here for an hour, turned it upside down and inside out.
But I can't remember, who knows where I had it?
But I need it now.
Back, back, used to be mine and I want it back, back,
One look at you and it takes me back, oh back.
The ink on the note that you left was black, so black.
So how did it happen? What a mess I've made.
There's something here that meant so much, just evaporates.
Some goodbyes last forever.
As they slip through your fingers, it's the great escape.
Back, back, used to be mine and I want it back, back,
One thought of you and it takes me back, way back.
Used to be mine and I want it back.
Used to be mine and I want you back.
Back, back, back in my arms
Back, back, back in my arms
Back, back, back in my arms
Back, back, back, back, back
The lyrics to "Searched Every Corner" by The Feeling express the frustration and longing of a person who has lost something but cannot remember where it is. The first verse describes the person's methodical search through their home, turning it inside out in an attempt to locate the missing object. The lyrics suggest that whatever has been lost is important and urgently needed, but the person is unable to remember where they left it.
The second verse is more introspective, with the person reflecting on how they may have contributed to their own misfortune. The line "What a mess I've made" implies that the situation is not entirely external, and that the person may have played a role in creating the circumstances that led to the loss. The lyrics also suggest that the lost item had sentimental value, noting that "There's something here that meant so much, just evaporates."
The chorus of the song ("Back, back, used to be mine and I want it back...") is a plaintive refrain that emphasizes the person's desire to regain what they have lost. The repetition of the word "back" and the use of the phrase "used to be mine" underscores the sense of nostalgia and longing that pervades the song. Overall, "Searched Every Corner" is a poignant expression of loss and the yearning to recapture a lost moment or feeling.
Line by Line Meaning
I've searched every corner, of this old house.
I have looked in every possible place in this old house.
Been here for an hour, turned it upside down and inside out.
I have spent an hour searching and inspecting every inch of the house.
But I can't remember, who knows where I had it?
Despite my efforts, I cannot recall where I kept the thing I am searching for.
But I need it now.
I require it immediately.
Back, back, used to be mine and I want it back, back,
Thoughts of nostalgia are creeping in, and I deeply desire something that used to belong to me.
One look at you and it takes me back, oh back.
At the mere sight of you, I am transported back in time and space.
The ink on the note that you left was black, so black.
The text ink on the message you left for me was a very dark shade of black.
Used to be mine and I want you back.
I yearn for your presence and your companionship once again.
So how did it happen? What a mess I've made.
I am lamenting over the situation that created this chaos and disorder.
There's something here that meant so much, just evaporates.
Something that had deep significance to me has disappeared into thin air.
Some goodbyes last forever.
Certain farewells never truly reach their conclusion.
As they slip through your fingers, it's the great escape.
As these moments of goodbye vanish, they appear to be more of an escape than an actual farewell.
Back, back, used to be mine and I want it back, back,
I cannot help but feel pulled back by the memories that belong to me.
One thought of you and it takes me back, way back.
The mere thought of you is enough to take me on a trip down memory lane.
Used to be mine and I want it back.
Things that originally belonged to me are still very desirable.
Used to be mine and I want you back.
I long for the time when you were mine once more.
Back, back, back in my arms
I wish to have you back in my embrace.
Back, back, back in my arms
I desire to hold you close to my chest once more.
Back, back, back in my arms
Emotionally, I long to hold you tight in my embrace once again.
Back, back, back, back, back
A repeated expression of the intense yearning and nostalgia that lingers in the artist's mind.
