No reasons left to believe
Trying to stay awake gave yourself a caffeine headache
To hide the taste of sleep
That hold your heart, holds your heart
And you go in search of youth, touching up your empire roots
But these days we don't know how to march
Satisfied with a knife in your spine, you're bloodless
So what am I feeling, and how can you tell?
I've got a feeling you don't know
Wait a while, we'll watch the light grow stale
And we smell so very clean but we're the oil in this machine...and this machine
...this machine is going wrong
So what am I feeling, and how can you tell?
I've got a feeling you don't know
And I've seen it all before...And I'll see it again
So what am I feeling, and how can you tell?
I've got a feeling you don't know
In this song he seems to be in a fight, the girl thinks she is right about everything and he is proving her wrong by telling her she doesn't even know how he feels.
I agree you can tell it's about a fight from where he says: "And we smell so very clean but we're the oil in this machine...and this machine ...this machine is going wrong " it shows that they're arguing as the "machine" is their relationship, and they are the "oil" that makes it work yet its going wrong. He is telling her that she's wrong as she doesn't know how he feels: "So tell me again, what am I feeling? You know me so well So what am I feeling, and how can you tell? I've got a feeling you don't know " I think that this is a beautiful song, and Tom is a wicked artist :) xXx
you got it right : tom's the last jeff buckley's potential comparison !
That record company suggestion is so off the mark. Its just a cold cold song about a shouting fight between a girlfriend and boyfriend.
This is actually about record companies and artists battles or any other Corporate vs Humanity battle.
