Ever Felt

In 'Ever Felt,' Otis Stacks delves into the complexities of a relationship on the brink of collapse. The song opens with a dialogue between two partners, highlighting accusations and denials that suggest a deep-seated mistrust. The line, 'You say I looked at other woman, I say I don't, you say it's true,' sets the stage for a narrative filled with emotional turmoil and a desperate attempt to salvage what remains of their love. The juxtaposition of smiles and eyes not matching further emphasizes the disconnect between outward appearances and inner feelings.

The chorus, 'Have you ever felt the love slowly dying? But can it be born again? Lord, I'm trying!' captures the essence of the song. It speaks to the universal experience of feeling love fade and the hope that it can be revived. The protagonist's plea to 'get your hair done, baby, I'm going take you out now' signifies an effort to rekindle the romance and find solace in each other's company. This attempt to 'get lost in your eyes, lost in your smile' is a poignant reminder of the initial attraction and connection that brought them together.

As the song progresses, the lyrics explore the internal conflict of whether to stay and fight for the relationship or to walk away. The imagery of 'underwater beauty' and 'a light over mountains that touch the core' suggests moments of clarity and beauty amidst the chaos. The protagonist's determination to 'war for yours with the love I pour' indicates a willingness to fight for the relationship, despite the challenges. The closing lines, 'There are clouds on the horizon, Lord, a storm’s gonna rise,' foreshadow the impending difficulties, yet there is a glimmer of hope that the love can be 'born again.' The song ends on a note of longing and hope, encapsulating the emotional rollercoaster of trying to revive a dying love.
