Feeling Lyrics – Elodie, Tiziano Ferro

Feeling Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The opening lines set the scene of a complicated, secretive affair, capturing fleeting, intimate moments in unexpected places—a bathroom at a party, a hotel elevator, a parking lot. These snippets hint at a passionate connection that exists in hidden spaces, away from public view. They evoke the thrill and risk of a relationship built on stolen moments, a love that seems to only survive in the shadows.

[Strofa 1]
Here, the singer describes their partner as a dark, almost tempting influence, like a devil on their shoulder. They’re inseparable yet self-destructive, following each other into this intense relationship that feels like a bad idea but one they can’t resist. There’s frustration and questioning—what’s the cost of this silence between them? The partner’s motives are unclear, almost like they’re using this connection for excitement or status, but not for genuine love.

[Pre-Ritornello 1]
The singer describes a mix of love and resentment, feeling used yet captivated. Comparing their relationship to scratched CDs and lingering perfume, they reflect on how their connection feels both damaged and intoxicating. It’s something they’ve hidden, indulging in secrecy, but the love may have become too intense, almost painful. These lines capture the rawness of loving someone deeply but knowing it’s not entirely mutual or trustworthy.

[Ritornello]
This chorus brings up vivid memories of the affair’s settings: late-night parties, cold film sets, and hidden encounters in places where they could steal moments. The singer recalls these times as both beautiful and foolish, feeling like they were wrapped up in a world where the partner was never fully present or committed. The repeated phrase “just a feeling” shows how, despite the intensity, it was never built on anything real or lasting, only fleeting passion.

[Strofa 2]
In this verse, the singer mentions how they kept things exciting to avoid boredom, with the dilemma of honesty or deception hanging over them. The late-night texts and quick addresses feel like a reflection of the relationship’s shallow depth. It was more about the thrill and immediacy than a real emotional bond, creating a hollow dynamic that never went deeper than the surface.

[Pre-Ritornello 2]
The singer acknowledges how beautiful and thrilling the relationship was, comparing it to broken mirrors and worn jeans, symbols of both fragility and wear. There’s a sense of falling too deep, too fast, and keeping their feelings hidden. This connection, while captivating, has also taken a toll on them, leading them down a path they may regret.

[Ritornello]
In this chorus repetition, the singer reflects again on those shared, hidden moments, questioning the realness of it all. They remember the nights that were thrilling but ultimately foolish, realizing that their partner was someone else when they were together, and they were never truly the only one. This awareness that there’s no trust, only “feeling,” emphasizes how fleeting and fragile the bond really was.

[Bridge]
The bridge dives into the singer’s deeper feelings, showing that despite the shallow nature of the relationship, there’s still a rare, genuine understanding between them. The partner seems to know them on a deeper level, yet they also treat them casually, like a momentary thrill. References to hip-hop and R&B legends create a nostalgic, edgy vibe, underscoring the wild, rebellious nature of the relationship. Ultimately, they admit it was “just a feeling,” something powerful but passing.

[Ritornello]
This final chorus recalls the same hidden, intense moments with the partner, again reflecting on how thrilling yet foolish it all was. They realize the relationship was built on secrets, stolen moments, and an absence of trust. The repeated “just a feeling” is a bittersweet recognition of the connection’s intensity, but also its emptiness.
