The lyrics of U-KISS's song "FEEL IT" exude a sense of empowerment, energy, and freedom, while also encouraging the listener to let loose and embrace the moment. The opening lines set the tone of the song with a declaration of being back and determined to stay, urging everyone to swing big and live life to the fullest every day. The mention of hitting bingo and inviting singles to join the excitement paints a picture of a carefree and lively atmosphere where anything is possible.
As the lyrics delve deeper, there are references to a night out on the town, with a beautiful girl by your side and a promise to not let her go. The repetition of "I'll take your breath away" adds a seductive and confident vibe to the song. The mention of not caring about what others say and just jamming to the music reinforces the idea of living in the moment and enjoying the rhythm and freedom that music brings.
The lyrics then transition to a more intense and energetic section, where there are references to dragons, dungeons, and a powerful sense of taking control. The imagery of cracking bones and smashing through barriers symbolizes breaking free from constraints and embracing one's own power and strength. The mention of making it rain like in a shower conveys a sense of abundance and control over one's destiny.
The chorus of the song repeatedly emphasizes the importance of feeling the music, letting go, and surrendering to the rhythm. The call to get on the floor and dance without hesitation or doubt underscores the theme of embracing one's true self and expressing freely. The overall message of the song seems to be about letting go of inhibitions, embracing freedom, and fully immersing oneself in the moment, whether it be on the dance floor or in life in general.
