Feel My Feelings

GIRLI's song 'Feel My Feelings' delves into the intense emotional landscape of someone who experiences their emotions deeply and vividly. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is highly sensitive and often overwhelmed by their feelings. The opening lines, 'I'm not capable of being / Ambivalent with my feelings,' set the stage for a narrative about emotional intensity and the challenges that come with it. The artist describes how sadness feels like 'the world's bleeding,' emphasizing the profound impact emotions have on her perception of reality.

The song also explores the theme of overthinking and miscommunication in relationships. GIRLI recounts instances where she misinterprets messages and overreacts, leading to unnecessary drama. Lines like 'Last night / I misread the text you sent when you were pissed off / And I thought for sure we were breaking up' highlight the anxiety and fear that can arise from overanalyzing situations. This tendency to blow things out of proportion is a recurring theme, as she admits, 'I'm built for big reactions / Blown out of proportion.'

Throughout the song, GIRLI acknowledges her emotional intensity and its impact on those around her. She expresses a sense of guilt and apology, singing, 'I feel my feelings too much / Maybe I should've warned ya.' This self-awareness adds a layer of vulnerability to the song, as she grapples with the difficulty of controlling her emotions. The repeated refrain, 'I'm not trying to steal the moment / It's just hard to control my emotions,' underscores the internal struggle of balancing emotional expression with social interactions. 'Feel My Feelings' is a raw and honest portrayal of the complexities of emotional sensitivity and the challenges of navigating relationships with such intensity.
