| Sevendust – Got A Feeling Lyrics | 12 years ago |

I heard someone call this a Gospel song, but I think they only called it that because they heard 'God' in the lyrics. Although I really wish Christian songs were this deep and relatable. This seems to be about a personal struggle with religion. He talks about the horrors of war (The dogs of war I put them down/I heard them cry and beg) and the small miracles that he's witnessed (I gave a poor man a dime or two/He saved my soul with gratitude). He's conflicted. He just seems... exhausted by it all (Life is taking way too long). He regrets that he doesn't have much faith left, but he still wants to believe (So please I know it’s too late for my eyes to open). |

This is an absolutely fantastic song. And if you haven't seen the music video, I highly recommend it. The animation is incredible. As for the song meaning... It definitely looks like it's about a man who is struggling with his 'inner demons', so to speak. However, I believe he is talking to someone who is attempting to help him. Perhaps a psychologist or just a caring friend. "Make no mistake I don't do anything for free I keep my enemies closer than my mirror ever gets to me" He is telling this person that he is a cautious man. Un-trusting. Maybe even paranoid? "Wait til you feel the warmth of my gratitude." Asking for help, or just accepting an offer of help. "I get the feeling that it's two against one" Two real people fighting his mirror self/inner demon/problems. "The mirror is a trigger and your mouth's a gun Lucky for me, I'm not the only one" Looking in the mirror must trigger his self hatred. He also thinks that the person who is helping him has the ability to end his struggle. "And if it looks to me like you in your reflection Plan to add your own fight to this dimension Then tell it this ain't no free-for-all to see There's only three, it's just you and me against me" Basically, he doesn't want anyone else to help. "And if your foot soldiers, sycophants, and yes-men Plan to break into the middle of this little plan Then there's your plan to hear me say That I won't play around the way Anyway, I plan to plan around them" This one is a bit fuzzy. Perhaps it means that... if this person does bring others in to help... that he'll pretend like nothing is wrong? |

Love this song, it's so well written. I've always had the impression this song was about social anxiety, which is something I struggle with constantly. I can identify with it and that makes it all the more powerful to me. The Chorus, in particular. |
