Feel It In My Bones feat. Tegan & Sara
Tiësto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blow by blow
I didn't see it coming
Blow by blow
Sucker Punched

Rushes in
Here to stay
Rushes in
You are here to stay

What rushes into my heart and my skull
I can't control
Think about it
Feel it in my bones
What rushes into my heart and my skull
I can't control

I feel you in my bones
You're knocking at my windows
You're slow to letting me go
And I know this feeling also
This feeling in my bones

Left hook
I didn't see it coming
Left hook
You've got dead aim

Rushes out
Run away
Rushes out
You always run away

What rushes into my heart and my skull
I can't control
Think about it
Feel it in my bones
What rushes into my heart and my skull
I can't control

I feel you in my bones
You're knocking at my windows
You're slow to letting me go
And I know this feeling also
This feeling in my bones

I feel you in my bones
You're knockin' at my windows
You're slow to letting me go
And I know this feeling also
This feeling in my bones

I feel it in my bones
And then my skull feels (pressure)
I feel it in my bones (pressure)
I feel it in my skull
I feel you in my bones
You're knocking at my windows
You're slow to letting me go
And I know this feeling also
This feeling in my bones

I take a breath
Take a breath
With me blow by blow
Take a break
Take a break
From you you are here to stay
I take my heart out of my chest
I just don't need it anymore
Take my hand up again
I just don't need it anymore

I take a breath
Take a breath
With me blow by blow
Take a break
Take a break
From you you are here to stay
I take my heart out of my chest
I just don't need it anymore
Take my hand up again
I just don't need it anymore

I feel you in my bones
You're knocking at my windows
You're slow to letting me go




And I know this feeling also
This feeling in my bones

Overall Meaning

The song "Feel It In My Bones" by Tiesto is a song about intense romantic feelings and the power they have over a person. The song starts off with the lyrics "Blow by blow, I didn't see it coming, blow by blow, sucker punched" which suggest that the singer is taken aback by the intensity of the feelings that have developed. The next set of lyrics, "Rushes in, here to stay, rushes in, you are here to stay" suggest that the feelings have come in unexpectedly and will not be easily shaken.


The chorus of the song has the recurring lyrics "What rushes into my heart and my skull, I can't control, think about it, feel it in my bones" which shows the strength of the emotions the singer is experiencing. The repeated line "I feel you in my bones" shows that the person they are singing about is a force that is hard to ignore. The song also talks about feeling pressure in the skull and bones which hints at the physical sensations that come with intense emotions.


The song also has lyrics such as "Left hook, I didn't see it coming, left hook, you've got dead aim" which puts the person they are singing about in a slightly negative light, implying they are more like a punch in the face than a soft and gentle feeling. The lyrics "rushes out, run away, rushes out, you always run away" shows the mixed feelings the singer has, that the person's intensity is both alluring and something to flee from. The song ends with the singer saying that they don't need their heart or hand anymore, suggesting they might have given up on whatever relationship they were referring to.
