Feelin' Good
The Wrong Side Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
so far nothing's gotten in my way
no money in my pocket, but that's o.k.
i'm getting by just fine today...
trying to cut me down to your size
i'm trying to make you see life through my eyes
things go wrong it seems like every day
won't waste my time living in the past
can't spend my time in a fantasy trapped
you'll find out what i've known all along
you can't always smile when things go wrong.
and things are going wrong now.
things been going all wrong today
so far nothing's, nothing's gone my fucking way
fear and depression ruling my day
but i'll get through to fight another day
The Wrong Side's song "Feelin' Good" is about two different experiences of life, one where things are going well, and the other where things are going all wrong. In the first verse, the singer is feeling pretty good and nothing has gotten in their way. They explain that even though they don't have any money, they're still getting by just fine. The second verse takes a darker turn as the singer talks about how things have been going all wrong today. They feel ruled by fear and depression, but they're determined to get through it and fight another day.
The chorus highlights the contrast between the two experiences, with the first verse suggesting that it's possible to feel good even when things aren't perfect, while the second verse acknowledges that sometimes things just suck.
The song's message is a powerful one as it speaks to the ups and downs of life. It encourages listeners to stay positive even when things aren't going their way and to keep fighting even when they feel ruled by fear and depression.
