I Feel Love
Theo Katzman Lyrics

I feel love, all the time
The singer experiences love continuously

Even when my friends die young
Despite the singer experiencing the death of young friends, they still feel love all the time

With better intentions than they've got time
The singer acknowledges that their late friends had good intentions and dreams they did not get enough time to fulfill

Inner wisdom can be hard to find
Finding inner wisdom can be difficult for anyone

When you're addicted to the wine
When one is addicted to the opinions and expectations of others, it can be hard to find inner wisdom

Of everyone else's wishes for your life
Others' expectations and desires for one's life can be overpowering and lead to a lack of self-awareness

But you're a gift to all of life
The singer believes that every person is a valuable addition to the world

And you're a lucky mother if you get to live to twenty five
The artist implies that youth has inherent worth, and being granted more life is a blessing

All around me
Love surrounds the artist on all sides

Even when you told me I couldn't be the one for you, I was fine
Despite the rejection, the artist remains emotionally stable

And I never cried so heavy in my life
This rejection still weighed heavily on the singer's emotions, despite their ability to maintain composure

But it's a gift to feel your eyes
Experiencing strong emotions for someone else, even if unrequited, is a valuable experience

Blow up like torrential rain clouds in the sky
Strong emotions, like sadness or anger, can be overwhelming like heavy rain clouds

Swelling with wisdom you can't seem to find
The singer implies that the person they love already possesses unacknowledged wisdom

Sending an invitation: you're alive
The singer sees emotional depth as a sign of life and hope

Somebody called me a fag today
The artist experienced homophobic name-calling

'Cause of the shoes I wear
The derogatory term was used as a result of clothing choice

And they're the only pair
The singer is proud of their choice of clothing

I ever bought myself
The singer uses the purchase of the shoes as a symbol of their independence and autonomy

They cost me a hundred bucks
The shoes had a high cost

And I was proud of it
The artist takes pride in their choice of shoes, despite the negative attention it brought them

Because I worked for that shit
The artist worked hard to earn the money to buy the shoes

But I didn't work that hard
The singer acknowledges that, in the grand scheme of things, their efforts were relatively modest

So now I feel kinda bad
Despite still feeling some pride, the artist also feels guilty in comparison to those who are less fortunate

'Cause you know I never had
The singer never experienced certain hardships that others may have faced

To grow up without a mom
The singer had the fortune of not experiencing growing up without a mother

To grow up without a dad
The singer had the fortune of not experiencing growing up without a father

I never worked in a factory
The artist had the fortune of never working in arduous conditions such as a factory

Or carried somebody else's shit up a mountain
The artist had the fortune of never having to do burdensome tasks for others in difficult conditions

I never drank from a rusty lead pipe out of a separate water fountain
The singer never faced segregation or unsafe drinking water, among other hardships

I wanna be free today
The singer desires freedom from societal constraints

I just wanna love my woman
The artist conveys a desire for a relationship that is unaffected by societal pressures

I wanna be free tomorrow
The artist desires freedom in the near future

I wanna be free forever
The artist desires long-lasting freedom
