| Robbie Williams – Feel Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Hi, I doubt you'll get my response, I mean you wrote this four years ago, but I just wanted to say that what you wrote is what I get from this song too. So many of his songs are about someone he's found and lost and can't reach. So full of sadness. |

One more thing: "Who are you? What are you, to me? What can I do for you? What can you do for me?" Who are you? What are you? No wonder he can't find her. I'm assuming its a her. That is what they called a doomed relationship. A clusterf*ck if you will. Doesn't give someone much choice does it? And on that satellite thing, the new song on the latest greatest hits album, 'Heart and I,' "And they can’t build a satellite to tell you how loved you are Or some kind of life device that holds you in you’ve gone too far" a follow on perhaps from Ghosts: "Ghosts We love like ghosts We are ghosts They're taking down our satellite" He must really love her. |

Another song hinting at the paranormal. There are so many of these with R.W. I'm surprised there are no further comments about it. If true, whoever she is, they must have been extremely close and joined together in a very special way. |

| Robbie Williams – Please Please Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This is one of the few Robbie songs that doesn't leave too much to the imagination. It is either entirely fictious or very literal and given his interest in the paranormal it does give one reason to question. Ghosts, demons, monsters, they can have any number of interpretations and historically when used in reference to R.W. they tend to be with regards to drug and alcohol abuse. In the case of this song however, no such reference is made. It seems to be speaking quite directly and honestly about ghosts and demons to a literal someone. "don't send the sandman to a sensitive kid," and "you're breaking my heart." These lyrics are poignant and disturbing, not because they can't be true, but because to the person that wrote them they might be. R.W. seems far to sane, generally even (with the exception of the odd flights of fancy) and frankly intelligent to assume something as far as drug induced psychosis. So assuming then that this song is not gobbledegook written for the sake of writing, then this is the story of him fighting demons, literal ones and winning...and that there's someone else..."you're breaking my heart." If true, it is both terrifying and heartbreaking, though certainly an accident where further disaster can only be avoided by avoidance hence the heartbreak which is certain to be reciprocated. |

| Robbie Williams – Deceptacon Lyrics | 15 years ago |

The main question. Who is Deceptacon? A name given to someone that he has known that he cannot reach. "Because someody's missing And that somebody is you But what can I do?" If someone is missing and that someone is Deceptacon, and with all the wealth, luxury and power our singer commands and yet he cannot reach this Deceptacon. Emotionally reach? Physically reach? Or either. This is an extremely common theme in his songs. Robbie sings in 'Ghosts,' of a satellite being taken down. Out of his control, out of hers. Does all this refer to the childhood sweet heart R.G. the media were so keen to leap on, or is there someone else? |

| Robbie Williams – (I Feel It But) I Can't Explain Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This sounds like it tells the story of him going to see one or a group of psychotherapists, possibly psychiatrists and his experience within that. It speaks of love, love that was promised, love that's no longer there, love that's wanted, that's needs, that is still often felt but is unreachable. How painful it is to feel something you know exists but you can't explain, to look to others for explanations and to find them wanting. To be alone with the thoughts and feelings and trapped. |
