| Sevendust – Got A Feeling Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I really like how Sevendust's songs–well, some of them at least–are more in-depth than just simply being hardcore rocker songs. I guess most of the songs and artists of those songs I listen to are mostly ones that tend to delve perhaps skin-deep or very soul-deep into personal struggles with negative emotions and influences and also with the rejoices of positive ones too, all whilst the narrator of the song, whoever or whatever the narrator is, emerges out of his or her own darkness. In addition, certain moods must match certain musical atmospheres, and Sevendust's I Got a Feeling comes with soft musical tunes and a melancholy tone like it's a ballad of grief and misfortune. This song, just like I described in above definition of an ideal song to me as a consumer (i.e. a music listener) with particular tastes, is quite dark and angst-ridden, laced with a sense of despair at the misgivings of the narrator's past, the ongoing ominous gloom of the present, and the growing uncertainty and hopelessness of his future. That's what the starting lyric (and title) of this song "I got a feeling coming on" even represents: the growing suspenseful realization that something in his life and in this world he's living in now is soon gonna happen for the worst or more, and unless he tries to make this countdown to doomsday a race against time to correct the mistakes he's made and right his wrongs, it'll be just as it is described: a ticking time bomb. "I got a feeling coming on Life is taking way too long I'll see you when I'm home" The narrator is seemingly plagued by a haunting gut feeling that something in his life isn't going very well or it's not going to get better anytime soon, and he's so tired of that that he feels that life is delaying him from his death for too long. I'm not sure what the third lyric is alluding; I can only guess the narrator is referring to God, whom he is very eager to meet "when [he's] home", or the ghosts of the people he lost, his loved ones and so forth. I'd even like to imagine that while he was letting his pessimism take over, he's busy literally digging his own grave in time for his arrival "home" |

| I understand the whole concept of the song, but what does the title "killpop" even mean? I went onto Genius and found an effortful translation of the line "something tells me I'm the one whose kept", implying that the narrator has control of "killpop". So does anyone know what that even means? | |
