Feeling

T-Rex's song 'Feeling' is a vibrant exploration of intense emotions and the complexities of relationships. The lyrics are a blend of Portuguese and English, reflecting a multicultural influence that adds depth to the song's narrative. The recurring line 'Shorty got the feeling, vale mais que pilim' suggests that the feeling or emotion the artist is experiencing is invaluable, more precious than money ('pilim'). This sets the tone for the entire song, emphasizing the irreplaceable nature of genuine emotions and connections.

The song delves into the artist's struggle to balance his intense feelings with the realities of life. Lines like 'Não posso pôr no bank nem tê-la no meu nguimbo' (I can't put it in the bank nor have it in my pocket) and 'Tô a correr a mil com uma estrela a milímetros' (I'm running at a thousand with a star millimeters away) illustrate the tension between the artist's emotional state and his practical life. The metaphor of running with a star just out of reach symbolizes the pursuit of something beautiful yet unattainable, highlighting the bittersweet nature of his feelings.

Cultural references, such as 'A caçar vampiras com a Buffy' (Hunting vampires with Buffy) and being treated like a pop star 'tipo Justin' (like Justin), add a layer of modernity and relatability to the song. These references ground the song in contemporary culture, making the artist's experiences more accessible to the listener. The playful yet poignant dialogue between the artist and his love interest further enriches the narrative, showcasing the push and pull of their relationship. The artist's acknowledgment of his own limitations and the woman's strength ('mulheres como eu, no peito têm ginásio' - women like me have a gym in their chest) adds a layer of respect and admiration, making the song not just about love but about mutual recognition and understanding.
