Cover art for Feel lyrics by Robbie Williams

Hey all! I have this personal hobby of writing about the meanings that I derive from the songs I relate to. It was a pleasant surprise to stumble upon this site. I wish I had known abt it earlier ... I could have contributed much before. Anyways, better late than never!!

For this song, I am amazed there r so few posts (compared to other good songs tht I've browsed on this site). The song's way too beautiful. At least for me. I could relate to this song in my own way. Perhaps it wasn't really written with the same meaning. The earlier interpretations (esp. the one about overcoming drug-addiction) seem more logical and likely. But whenever I hear the song I picture a guy who desperately wants to confess his love but for some reason(s) holds himself back...


"Come and hold my hand I wanna contact the living Not sure I understand This role I've been given"

I long for your presence; I want u to be always with me. (But do I desrve it?) . You r my life and I wanna live. I wanna bare my mind completely for you. But I can't. (Moreover I aint sure if I should ! )


"I sit and talk to God And he just laughs at my plans My head speaks a language I don't understand"

After trying everythin -. from 'fighting back' to 'running away' - in vain, I pretend rationalizing. But I know it's useless. So much that even He laughs at me. I don't know what to do . I can't trust my own mind.. (I think I m going mad.)


"I just wanna feel real love Feel the home that I live in I got too much life Running through my veins Going to waste"

Somewhere deep inside I do crave for your (real) love and that we have a 'home' that I had always dreamt of (the home that I live in) (unlike the one I've been living in all these years) But at the same time I don't know if i deserve it.
My life has been such a waste that whatever i've lived is more than I deserve (I got too much life)


Please post your comments.

Take care!!

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.
