Feel

ABRA's song 'Feel' delves into the quest for self-discovery and the intrinsic need for connection and authenticity. The lyrics reflect a journey through uncertainty and challenges, symbolized by 'bursting through the flames,' which suggests a willingness to face adversity head-on. This imagery of fire and wind conveys a sense of resilience and determination, even when the path is unclear. The repeated line 'I did not see the light, but I got a taste of what it might be like' hints at moments of clarity and hope amidst the struggle.

The chorus emphasizes the importance of music as a source of solace and identity. ABRA sings about the need for 'a beat and a hum that can make me feel human,' highlighting how music can ground us and provide a sense of belonging. This sentiment is reinforced by the lines 'What’s the good to feel bad, it’s just natural baby,' which suggest an acceptance of human emotions as part of the natural experience. The reference to being 'just animals' underscores the raw, instinctual nature of these feelings.

In the latter part of the song, ABRA explores the idea of seeking peace and escaping from worries, as seen in the lines 'Packed up my woes and I threw them in a rocket.' This metaphorical act of sending troubles away signifies a desire for liberation and tranquility. However, the acknowledgment that 'they hide a well-kept secret' implies that true peace and understanding are elusive and perhaps hidden within ourselves. The song ultimately portrays a journey towards self-acceptance and the realization that music and rhythm are essential to feeling truly alive and human.
