Feels Like
The View Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My old girl has really started bringing me down
sleeping with every single guy in town
I don't think her father knows jus yet
Turing all our goodness into shame
And it feels like
everyone is laughing at me
And the torture
is a little more than I can believe
She's a woman, a woman with the presence of queens
But pretending that I can't be the man of her dreams
Is really something I think she should stop
Come on home to me and give it up
And it feels like
Everyone is laughing at me
And the torture
Need a little pain relief
And it feels like this
When I can't find your big red lips to kiss
And it feels like this
Oh honey it feels like this living alone





Mid 8
Chorus

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Feels Like" by The View depict a sense of betrayal and heartache experienced by the singer in a tumultuous relationship with his former partner. He expresses feeling disillusioned and hurt by the behavior of his ex-girlfriend, who is engaging in promiscuous activities with other men in their town. This betrayal is particularly painful for him as he reflects on their relationship and the sense of shame that has come with her actions, as indicated by him feeling like their "goodness" has been tarnished.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the overwhelming sense of humiliation and isolation the singer feels, as he perceives others to be mocking him or looking down on him due to his partner's behavior. The repeated refrain of "And it feels like everyone is laughing at me" underscores his deep emotional distress and the feeling of being a subject of ridicule within his community. The singer feels tortured by the situation, struggling to come to terms with the reality of his partner's actions and their impact on his self-worth.


Furthermore, the lyrics highlight the singer's conflicted feelings towards his ex-girlfriend, acknowledging her beauty and regal presence ("She's a woman, a woman with the presence of queens") while also recognizing that he feels inadequate in fulfilling her romantic desires. Despite admiring her, he expresses frustration that she is not recognizing him as the man who could fulfill her dreams, leading to a plea for her to return to him and end the pain of their separation.


The poignant imagery of longing and loneliness is further emphasized in the later verses, as the singer expresses the yearning for intimacy with his ex-girlfriend ("When I can't find your big red lips to kiss") and the emotional turmoil of living without her presence ("Oh honey it feels like this living alone"). The use of vivid language and emotional depth in the lyrics conveys the raw intensity of the singer's emotions, painting a picture of heartache, longing, and a desire for reconciliation amidst a backdrop of public scrutiny and personal suffering.

Holaaa!
Lyrics yeah:
My old girl has really started bringing me down
Sleeping with every single guy in town
And I don't think her father knows just yet
Turning all our goodness into shame

And it feels like
Everyone is laughing at me
And the torture
Is a little more than I can believe

She's a woman, a woman with the presence of queens
But pretending that I can't be the man of her dreams
Is really something, I think she should stop
Come on home to me and give it up

And it feels like
Everyone is laughing at me
And the torture
Need a little pain relief

And it feels like this
When I can't find your big red lips to kiss
And it feels like this
Oh honey, it feels like this, living alone

Yeah, I'm repeating a nightmare, it seems
Can't remember the stuff that's through the streams
Yeah, I'm living a nightmare, not a dream

And it feels like this
When I can't find your big red lips to kiss
And it feels like this
Oh honey, it feels like this

Living alone

And it feels like
Everyone is laughing at me
And the torture
Need a little pain relief

And it feels like
Everyone is laughing at me
And the torture
Need a little pain relief

Me gusta mucho esta canción, aunque la letra es algo triste por lo poco que puedo entender:'(
