Feelin' Alright Lyrics
Everynight I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way it could have been
Left here on my own or so it seems
I've got to leave before I start to scream
But someone locked the door and took the key
I'm not feelin' too good myself
Well, you feelin' alright?
I'm not feelin' too good myself
And even now I sit and wonder why
That when I think of you I start to cry
I just can't waste my time, I must keep dry
Gotta stop believin' in all your lies
'Cause there's too much to do before I die
I'm not feelin' too good myself
Well, you feelin' alright?
I'm not feelin' too good myself
Though at the time I really felt that way
But that was then, now it's today;
I can't get off so I'm here to stay
Till someone comes along and takes my place
With a different name and, yes, a different face
I'm not feelin' too good myself
Well, you feelin' alright?
I'm not feelin' too good myself
WHY hasn't ANYONE commented on this song? Geeze.. I have no faith in our generation. This is such a great song.. I love it. A fucking classic, if I do say so myself.
he may not write his own songs, but his covers (typically) are much better than the originals. this song; case in point.
This song just speaks loudly! Really reading the words and you almost get a whole other picture for the beat. Gotta love songs like these!
it´s clearly about a breakup. Another relationship gone wrong. The words describe desperation and a feeling of being a prisioner in a relationship.
but suddenly the desperation turns arround; why???
Well, 2 aspects:
1) The positive:
"don´t get to lost in all I say
Yeah by the time I really felt that way
But that was then, and now you know it's today
These 3 verses makes us believe that Love is a work in progress thing, an ever evolving and changing "thing"
You can be desperate but if there is a drop of love and there is committment to work things arround it is possible to build up almost any relationship.
2) The dark side I can't get off, I guess I'm here to stay 'Til someone comes along and takes my place, yeah With a different name, oh, and a different face This is the Complacency side of Love. I stay because I can´t get off... I guess I´m here to stay.
Can he write his own hits?
