Felt
To You Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I take short steps I won't get there
Long steps made me loose my state
Sinking my teeth in paraphrased angels
How is their blood so familiar?
I'll keep on writing but It's gone on for way too long to not feel anything.
Making sense of our youth
Our eyes go blank to see the river
Just to live forever
I've left no trace, just to feel nothing
Watching a flower blossom, I'd wait years
This outcome left no satisfaction
Catch a firefly and let it go
A retrospective, my mind is running in circles
I don't care that I won't get to see the future, but the hole in my chest grows.
Once I feel real, I'll forget this
Once I feel real, I'll remember I'm here with you
The first verse of the song explores the singer's indecisiveness and struggle to make a decision. They feel torn between taking short steps and reaching their goal faster but potentially missing out on something, or taking long steps and losing their current state or mindset. The line about sinking their teeth in paraphrased angels suggests that they are trying to hold on to something pure or divine, but they are questioning why it feels so familiar, as if they have experienced it before. They acknowledge that they have been writing about their emotions for a long time, but it has become tiring and they are no longer able to feel anything.
The second verse delves into the theme of youth and the passing of time. The singer references cutting their nails, which symbolizes letting go of their past and slowly deteriorating. Their eyes go blank, suggesting a detachment from reality or a sense of numbness. They mention seeing the river, which could represent the flow of life and the desire to live forever. However, despite these efforts, they feel a sense of dissatisfaction and lack of fulfillment.
In the third verse, the singer reflects on leaving no trace or impact in their life in order to avoid feeling anything. They use the metaphor of watching a flower blossom, which typically takes time, suggesting that they are willing to wait years for something meaningful to happen. However, the outcome of their actions or lack thereof only leaves them feeling unsatisfied.
The final line of the song expresses a contemplative perspective on life. The singer acknowledges that their mind is constantly running in circles, possibly indicating a lack of direction or focus. They demonstrate indifference towards not being able to see the future, but at the same time, they feel a growing emptiness or void in their chest. They believe that once they experience something real or meaningful, they will forget about their current struggles. Ultimately, they hope that once they feel real, they will remember that they are not alone and have someone by their side.

Making sense of our youth
Finding meaning in our early years
Cut my nails and slowly deteriorate
Neglecting self-care and gradually declining
Our eyes go blank to see the river
Our vision becomes empty when observing the flowing river
Just to live forever
Merely longing for eternal existence
I've left no trace, just to feel nothing
I have disappeared without leaving any evidence, just to experience emptiness
Watching a flower blossom, I'd wait years
I would patiently wait for years to witness the blooming of a flower
This outcome left no satisfaction
This result did not provide any fulfillment
Catch a firefly and let it go
Capture a firefly momentarily and then release it
A retrospective, my mind is running in circles
Reflecting on the past, my thoughts are spinning in endless loops
I don't care that I won't get to see the future, but the hole in my chest grows.
I am indifferent about not witnessing the future, yet the emptiness within me intensifies
Once I feel real, I'll forget this
Once I experience genuine emotions, I will disregard these current feelings
Once I feel real, I'll remember I'm here with you
Once I establish a true sense of existence, I will remember that I am present with you

FELT songs truly like making you remember your good/bitter sweet old days, especially the original themed songs. I guess this is the youth power of their songs (me thinking while remembering Bocchi's expressions).

I like the refreshingly honest lyrics. Something about Japanese phrases that are less common in English then translated into English makes for some very genuine feeling words. :)
