Feel Good
The Killers feat. Gorillaz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

City's breaking down on a camel's back
They just have to go 'cause they don't know whack
So all you fill the streets it's appealing to see
You won't get out the county, 'cause you're bad and free
You've got a new horizon It's ephemeral style
A melancholy town where we never smile
And all I want to hear is the message beep
My dreams, they've got to kiss, because I don't get sleep, no

Windmill, Windmill for the land
Learn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is stinking, falling down
Love forever love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?

Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats
Lining them up-a like ass cracks
Ladies, homies, at the track
It's my chocolate attack
Shit, I'm stepping in the heart of this here
Care bear bumping in the heart of this here
Watch me as I gravitate, ha ha ha
Yo, we gonna go ghost town
This Motown, with yo sound
You're in the place
You gonna bite the dust
Can't fight with us
With yo sound, you kill the INC
So don't stop, get it, get it
Until you're cheddar header
Yo, watch the way I navigate, ha ha ha

Windmill, windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is stinking, falling down
Love forever love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?

Don't stop, get it, get it
We are your captains in it
Steady, watch me navigate, ha ha ha
Don't stop, get it, get it




We are your captains in it
Steady, watch me navigate, ha ha ha

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of “Feel Good” by The Killers feat. Gorillaz paint a picture of a world in chaos, where people are forced to leave their homes and seek a better life elsewhere. The image of a city breaking down on a camel's back speaks to the desperation of these people, who are so determined to escape their circumstances that they will go anywhere, regardless of how difficult it may be. The chorus is a call to action, urging people to take control of their lives and find happiness wherever they can.


The second verse introduces a new voice, with a different style and tone. The fast-paced, stream-of-consciousness lyrics are full of slang and references to pop culture. This voice contrasts starkly with the melancholic tone of the rest of the song, and creates a sense of chaos and disorientation. However, despite the chaos, the chorus remains a constant, urging people to come together and find meaning in their lives.


Overall, “Feel Good” speaks to the human desire for connection and happiness, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. The song encourages people to take control of their lives and pursue their dreams, no matter how difficult it may be.

'Killer Gorillaz' sounds like a band.

@cierranope3877

There's a song called Killer Gorilla, it's by DEK. I'd upload it if I could figure out how. xD

@eradius

Cierra Nope if you already have a movie with the song on it ready, press upload to the right of the search bad then should be easy from there. if you havent made a video yet search for a video tutorial on how to do so.

@cierranope3877

Oh my gosh, I know how to make and upload videos, I just need to figure out how to cut the first part of the audio out of it because it's two different songs. I'm not an idiot.

@eradius

Cierra Nope not being able to upload or make videos does not mean somebody is an idiot, but rather an inexperience with youtube uploading system. inferring insult from friendly advice does constitute idiocy however. use audacity. 

@cierranope3877

I can't afford to buy programs, and my shitty old laptop can't install them. But thanks for your expert advice, genius.

The only problem I have with this is that I know both of the songs so well that my brain can't seem to process this as a single song. It's a bit overwhelming, feeling like I'm listening to two different songs simultaneously.

@gr0s3

That's the point of a mashup

@hannahx3739

+TheRickymaster Films Apparently I've missed the point of entire music genre.

@gr0s3

+Hannah Snufkin yes you have.
