Frampton is well known for his notoriously gritty and rough instrumentals and raw, politically charged lyrics, especially around Brexit and Theresa May’s tenure as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. His stage name originates from his childhood nickname - Frampton had a speech impediment which caused him to speak slowly and with a drawl. Originally known as Slow Ty, he changed it to slowthai when he released his first single in 2016.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we don't conversate, she said I'm playin' games
She said she feels trapped, stuck up in this fuckin' maze
How you been? I been better than yesterday
And it was just a day, you know I don't complain
Standin' in the rain, soakin' wet tryna demonstrate
That I don't feel a way, I never hesitate
What's on your mind? Can you say what you're thinkin', babe?
Walkin' through my mind, it's a forest, don't get lost again
Said you want a cottage with the fireplace
Sittin' by the fire with marshmallows and a chocolate fig
You felt low, I took you higher than a note from Mariah
And still you got the cheek to even try and call me liar
Want a bun up in the oven
Tryna trap me in barbed wire, put a baby in your stomach
If that's what you desire
Desire, desire, desire
Feel away, desire, desire, desire, desire
Feel away, desire, desire, desire, desire
Feel away, desire, desire, desire, desire
Suddenly not half the man I used to be (feel away)
But truthfully, ain't half the bitch you could've been (feel away)
It's not you, so I guess it's me (feel away)
It's not you, so I guess it's me (feel away)
Suddenly not half the man I used to be (feel away)
But truthfully, ain't half the bitch you could've been (feel away)
It's not you, so I guess it's me (feel away)
This time I (this time)
This time I (I feel away, this time)
This time I (this time I'm thinkin')
This time I (I feel away)
This time I have one hand free (feel away)
This has nothing to do with me (feel away) (nothing, nothing)
I leave the dent in my car
To remind me what I could've lost
And you revealed who you are
So this doesn't feel like love (feel like)
Heart for sale
Heart for sale
This time I'll
This time we'll
Be too scared
Not be able to feel
This time I'll (this time)
This time we'll (this time)
Hope this shouldn't end
Suddenly not half the man I used to be
But truthfully, ain't half the bitch you could've been
It's not you, so I guess it's me
It's not you, so I guess it's me
Suddenly not half the man I used to be
But truthfully, ain't half the bitch you could've been
It's not you, so I guess it's me
Dream lover, come and rescue me
See me up, see me down
Take me anywhere, I come to you with love
The song "Feel Away" by slowthai and Mount Kimbie is about a relationship that has gone sour. The chorus highlights this with words like 'feel away' and 'desire' being repeated, indicating a sense of unpleasantness between the two parties. The lyrics talk about the fact that the couple has stopped talking and spending time together, and their relationship is "stuck up in this fuckin' maze". The woman in the relationship feels trapped while the man in question tries to demonstrate that he does not feel any way about the situation. Further on, the song talks about how the woman wants to start a family with the man, but he is not ready for it yet.
The lyrics also highlight the sense of guilt that both the man and the woman feel about how their relationship has turned out. The man admits that he is not the man he used to be, while the woman admits that she could have been a better partner in the relationship. Both parties seem to be struggling with the fallout of their relationship and unsure of what to do next. Towards the end of the song, the lyrics take on a more hopeful tone, with the man hoping that the relationship can be salvaged and the woman dreaming of a brighter future.
