Don't You Feel Amazing?
Trash Boat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel strange
These chemicals control my brain
Filth to clean, everything in between
We know that drugs work, that is until they don′t
Grow your new skin over a gaping hole
A black well, and down I sink
I′ve been living the dream
My fantasy, totally disgusting
You don't know where I've been
I′m so obscene, but I feel amazing
I said my prayers every day
I feel the same
Give me the poison that I crave
Filth to clean, everything in between
I′ve been living the dream
My fantasy, totally disgusting
You don't know where I′vе been
I'm so obscene, but I feel amazing
We know that drugs work
That is until thеy don′t
Grow your new skin
I don't care what you think
I′ve been living the dream
My fantasy, totally disgusting
You don't know where I've been
I′m so obscene, but I feel amazing
I′ve been living the dream
My fantasy, totally disgusting
You don't know where I′ve been
I'm so obscene, but I feel amazing
Don′t you feel amazing?
Don't you feel amazing?
The lyrics of Trash Boat's song "Don't You Feel Amazing?" delve into themes of addiction, self-destruction, and the warped sense of pleasure that can be derived from destructive behavior. The opening lines, "You took my heroin away, I feel strange, These chemicals control my brain," suggest a dependence on drugs to achieve a certain state of mind. The reference to heroin specifically emphasizes the gravity and intensity of the addiction.
The lines "Filth to clean, everything in between" suggest that the person's life is filled with extremes - moments of indulgence and pleasure alongside periods of turmoil and self-destruction. The repetition of the phrase "Filth to clean" adds to the sense of inner conflict and the constant struggle between embracing one's desires and recognizing the need for change.
The chorus further highlights this twisted mindset, where the singer acknowledges the repulsive nature of their fantasies and actions, yet paradoxically finds a sense of elation in them. The line "I'm so obscene, but I feel amazing" encapsulates this internal conflict, where the singer acknowledges their actions as disgusting but revels in the pleasure they bring.
The repeated line "I've been living the dream, my fantasy, totally disgusting, you don't know where I've been" emphasizes the divide between the outward appearance and the inner turmoil. It suggests that while others may perceive the singer's life as ideal or desirable, they are actually swimming in a cesspool of their own making.
Overall, the lyrics of "Don't You Feel Amazing?" explore the destructive allure of addiction and the complex emotions that accompany it. It delves into the mindset of someone trapped in cycles of self-destruction, who simultaneously recognizes the ugliness of their actions yet finds a perverse sense of satisfaction in them.

Man i love this heavier new direction they're going to! This one kinda reminds me of 90s industrial rock. So hyped to hear the whole record! From the last 3 singles looks like it's gonna be quite a diverse album and i love diverse albums!

Damn, this has some real 90s grunge vibes to it. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
