Analysis of lyrics: 'The Feeling' Justin bieber

"The Feeling"

(Justin Bieber feat. Halsey)

[Justin Bieber:]

You are to me

A part of me just like anatomy

You're pulling me

You're pulling me in like you're gravity

In this part of the verse the artist, Justin Bieber, is declaring that his lover is metaphorically a part of his anatomy, meaning that she is important to him just as important as any organ, bone, or muscle. By putting this in the intro of the music, it suggests that the artist is trying to show what kind of emotion you can expect for the song to be like.

The lyrics 'you're pulling me in like you're gravity', this suggests that the girl is holding him down like she is gravity and making him more humble, but the wording of the lyrics makes me question that if he's questioning his emotions like does he really love her, her pull must be confusing his emotions even more.

I'm notorious for thinking you're full of beautiful

Instead of hollow

Sugar on your lips, it's hard to kill

Jagged like a pill, so hard to swallow

In this line he is suggesting that he tried to convince himself that the girl was all beautiful on the inside but, he later couldn't stop seeing that he wasn't. The lyrics 'jagged like a pill, so hard to swallow' indicating the lyrics above it claiming the that he tried to look over the physical aspects of his relationship and by including that line he states that she was kind of like a 'sugar pill' which are a common placebos and she is just making him feel good while not actually making him good, so when he states the lyrics, it makes us think that he is forcing himself it so, he can still see her the way he wants to see her.

[Justin Bieber & Halsey:]

Am I in love with you? Am I in love with you?

Or am I in love with the feeling?

Trying to find the truth, trying to find the truth

Sometimes the heart is deceiving

Can't get out of my head, and I need you to save me

If I am delusional then maybe I'm crazy

In love with you, am I in love with you?

Or am I in love with the feeling?

The chorus suggests that love can be like a double-edged sword where they can loose themselves while blinding themselves and also making bad decisions while trying to connect to another person as love, this ultimately makes the person question whether they actually love that person or they just like the emotion of love itself. 

[Justin Bieber:]

You give to me

Everything, anything that I could dream

And at least that's what it seems

Could it be I don't know what's good for me?

In these lyrics, while he is still questioning whether he is in love with her or just with the feeling, he admits that the girl has given him everything that he ever wanted but, he still questions whether if it is what he actually wanted or he just thinks that its what he wanted.

I'm notorious for thinking you're full of beautiful

Instead of hollow

Sugar on your lips, it's hard to kill

Jagged like a pill, so hard to swallow

These lyrics still suggests he's trying to convince himself she is all beautiful on the inside while, he still struggles to look beyond the physical aspects of the relationship, although he knows that this love is going to be painful.

[Justin Bieber & Halsey:]

Am I in love with you? Am I in love with you?

Or am I in love with the feeling?

Trying to find the truth, trying to find the truth

Sometimes the heart is deceiving

Can't get out of my head, and I need you to save me

If I am delusional then maybe I'm crazy

In love with you, am I in love with you?

Or am I in love with the feeling?

This lyric still refers to whether if he actually loves that person or he just loves the feeling of it. It suggests that if he isn't in love with her then he must be crazy, and he can only find the answers if she helps him along with it.

[Justin Bieber:]

I'm sinking faster and faster

Between heaven and disaster

Sorry if I made you feel like

I'm standing on the borderline

This suggests that he is in the middle of his emotions for this person, whether if he should be with this person or if he should just leave her, while this is happening it suggests that she is wondering if he is uncertain about this relationship.

[Justin Bieber & Halsey:]

Am I in love with you? Am I in love with you?

Or am I in love with the feeling?

Trying to find the truth, trying to find the truth

Sometimes the heart is deceiving

Can't get out of my head, and I need you to save me

If I am delusional then maybe I'm crazy

In love with you, am I in love with you?

Or am I in love with the feeling?

This lyrics suggests that he is still trying to figure it all out wit the girl, if he still loves her if he just likes the feeling of love. Therefore, ultimately the lyrics suggests that this girl he is with, he's having a hard time understand his emotions for.

Overall, the lyrics really showcase a narrative of a relationship where one person doesn't understand their feelings, if they strong or not. The lyrics showcases that person's feelings really well to a point the person reading the lyrics can understand what type of massage it is trying to portray. It is very simple and has a lot of meaning behind the lyrics, which I find to be very interesting.
