The Way I Feel
The Waynes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only once the drugs are done, that I feel like dying I feel like dying
Only once the drugs are done, that I feel like dying I feel like dying
(I feel like, I feel like, I feel like)
Yeah, hello
Get lifted
Yeah, I get lifted
I am sittin' on the clouds, I got smoke comin' from my seat
I can play basketball with the moon, I got the whole world at my feet
Playin' touch football, on marijuana street
Or, in a marijuana field, you are so beneath my cleets
Get high, so high, that I feel like lying
Down in a cigar, roll me up and smoke me 'cause
(I feel like dying)
Only once the drugs are done, that I feel like dying I feel like dying
Only once the drugs are done, that I feel like dying I feel like dying
(I feel like, I feel like, I feel like)
Swimming laps around a bottle of Louis the Thirteenth
Jumpin' off of a mountain into a sea of Codeine
I'm at the top of the top, but still I climb
And if I should ever fall, the ground would then turn to wine
Pop, pop, I feel like flying, then I feel like frying, then
(I feel like dying)
Only once the drugs are done, that I feel like dying I feel like dying
Only once the drugs are done, that I feel like dying I feel like dying
(I feel like, I feel like, I feel like)
I can mingle with the stars, and throw a party on Mars
I am a prisoner, locked up behind Xanax bars
I have just boarded a plane, without a pilot
And violets are blue, roses are red
Daisies are yellow, the flowers are dead
Wish I can give you this feeling I feel like buying
And if my dealer don't have no more, then
(I feel like dying)
Only once the drugs are done, that I feel like dying I feel like dying
Only once the drugs are done, that I feel like dying I feel like dying

THIS VIDEO IS SO ICONIC! It is a slap in the face of those "little monsters" that keep being annoying asking for the "old gaga". She did an amazing metaphor "killing" the alter egos from past eras, basically saying that the past is in the past, just move the fuck on and appreciate what she's doing RIGHT NOW, in the present. Do you guys still don't understand the way Gaga thinks about music and art? She's always reinventing herself, so just enjoy her vision and be thankful that she still making music...
@Abercrombieindya
Lucas Sebá not really but ok
@fendifk1223
Lucas Sebá but where did you get any of that idea from this video? lmao
@queenmonique1481
Lucas Sebá right
@BradMondel
I don't believe this current Gaga is the actual "real" Gaga. It's just another of her alter egos. Her claiming that she is killing her alter egos is insane because we all know Gaga isn't a country girl, she is from New York for crying out loud so you can add this Joanne phase to her list of egos as well.
@fendifk1223
Brad Mondel joanne isn't even country though lol
@hiimnotsad1140
The perfect mix between her before and her now
@Andromedaxxstarz
Exactly!!!!! Because her before is still her now except this time its Joanne!!! 💖
