Fight The Feeling

Stick Figure's 'Fight The Feeling' is a melodic journey that encourages listeners to embrace their emotions and let go of unnecessary burdens. The song opens with the artist reflecting on the futility of overthinking, suggesting that chasing one's mind is a waste of time. Instead, there's a world outside waiting to be experienced, urging the listener not to run away from it. This sets the tone for a message of acceptance and living in the moment.

The chorus, 'Don't fight, fight the feeling / Don't fight, let it go,' serves as a mantra for releasing pent-up emotions and allowing oneself to feel freely. The repetition of 'Oh why, oh why, why don't you start believing' emphasizes the importance of faith and trust in the natural flow of life. The artist suggests that by letting go and not resisting, one can find peace and clarity. This is further highlighted in the lines about moving closer to the Sun, symbolizing a move towards enlightenment and warmth, even if it means stepping out of one's comfort zone.

As the song progresses, it offers reassurance that everything will be fine in the end. The lyrics 'Somewhere down the line, yeah / When you've had enough / Well everything will be just fine yeah / It will be alright' provide a comforting promise that struggles are temporary. The repeated phrase 'Keep on moving on' serves as a motivational reminder to persist through challenges and continue forward. Stick Figure's reggae-influenced sound, combined with these uplifting lyrics, creates a soothing yet empowering anthem for anyone feeling overwhelmed by life's pressures.
