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.
The Greatest Show On Earth
The Feeling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But how could I leave her alone
Honey won't you please come along
Let's get out of here
I got no credit on my telephone
I got no money in my jeans but come on
Everyone says it's so cool
Who knows, could be us
At the greatest show on earth
I'm told
We're gonna get high and I want to
Let's go
Fall in love
It's the greatest show on earth
It's the greatest show on earth
So take what you need and nothing more
We've got a lot to explore
The fear of the world kept us in
Safe from the dirt and the sin
And yes I'm terrified
'Cause when you're out you know there's no return
But I love you and they're gonna learn
Let's go
Everyone says it's so cool
Who knows, could be us
At the greatest show on earth
I'm told
We're gonna get high and I want to
Let's go
Fall in love
It's the greatest show on earth
It's the greatest show on earth
I don't wanna be in this house no more
Gotta get out they're boring the hell out of me
Yeah
I don't wanna be in this house no more
I gotta get out of here before it kills me
It's gonna kill me
So come on
Let's go
Everyone says it's so cool
Who knows, could be us
At the greatest show on earth
I'm told
We're gonna get high and I want to
Let's go
Fall in love
It's the greatest show on earth
It's the greatest show on earth
Yeah
Yeah

The lyrics to "The Greatest Show On Earth" by The Feeling tell the story of someone who wants to leave their current situation behind and go on an adventure with their significant other. The opening lines express the individual's desire to leave, but they don't want to leave their loved one alone. The song invites them to join them on a journey to find something more exciting, something that's a "greatest show on earth."
Despite not having the financial resources or means to embark on this adventure, the individual still wants to go because they are tired of being stuck in a mundane life. They are willing to take risks and explore the unknown, even if it means leaving their comfort zone. However, they are also aware of the risks that come with leaving everything behind, but they are reassured by the fact that they have their significant other with them.
Overall, "The Greatest Show On Earth" is a romantic and adventurous song about wanting to leave behind the monotony of everyday life and venture into the unknown with a loved one.

Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for (whoa)
Been searching in the dark, your sweat soaking through the floor (whoa)
And buried in your bones there's an ache that you can't ignore
Taking your breath, stealing your mind
And all that was real is left behind
Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
Your fever dream, can't you see it getting closer
Just surrender 'cause you feel the feeling taking over
It's fire, it's freedom, it's flooding open
It's a preacher in the pulpit and your blind devotion
There's something breaking at the brick of every wall, it's holding
All that you know
So tell me, do you wanna go?
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watching it come true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
colossal we come these renegades in the ring
(Whoa) where the lost get found in the crown of the circus king
Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
It's blinding, outshining anything that you know
Just surrender 'cause you're calling and you wanna go
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, intoxicating you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watching it come true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
It's everything you ever want
It's everything you ever need
And it's here right in front of you
This is where you wanna be (this is where you wanna be)
It's everything you ever want
It's everything you ever need
And it's here right in front of you
This is where you wanna be
This is where you wanna be
When it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watching it come true, it's taking over you
This is the greatest show
When it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the walls can't stop us now

Oh yes, The Greatest Showman has amazing music but I'm specifically listening to this while I work on a slideshow about saving the world. It's such a good song and gives off teamwork & inspiration vibes. Anyway, this is one of the songs that I'd give a 10/10 rating. It's so good.
If you agree with me, leave a like!
If you have some songs you'd recommend please comment under this.
Thank you for reading and have a blessed day!
