Come on, hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand
I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life running through my veins
Going to waste
I don't wanna die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I'm preparing to leave her
I scare myself to death
That's why I keep on running
Before I've arrived
I can see myself coming
I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life running through my veins
Going to waste
And I need to feel real love and a life ever after
I cannot get enough
I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
I got too much love running through my veins
To go to waste
I just wanna feel real love in a life ever after
There's a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It's a real big place
Come on, hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
About This Song
"Feel" is a deeply introspective ballad where Robbie Williams explores existential emptiness and emotional numbness despite outward success. The lyrics reveal a man caught between not wanting to die but feeling disconnected from truly living, desperately seeking authentic love and genuine human connection while struggling with his sense of purpose and identity. Musically, the song builds from sparse, contemplative verses to a soaring, anthemic chorus backed by orchestral arrangements and Williams' powerful, vulnerable vocal delivery. The track stands out for its raw honesty about depression and spiritual searching, with Williams literally conversing with God and admitting his confusion about his role in life. It became one of his most beloved songs because it transformed personal darkness into a universal anthem about the human need to feel something real.
