Feel It Still Lyrics
Can't keep my hands to myself
Think I'll dust 'em off, put 'em back up on the shelf
In case my little baby girl is in need
Am I coming out of left field?
Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
I been feeling it since 1966, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still
Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
Let me kick it like it's 1986, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still
Got another mouth to feed
Leave her with a baby sitter, mama, call the grave digger
Gone with the fallen leaves
Am I coming out of left field?
Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
I been feeling it since 1966, now
Might've had your fill, but you feel it still
Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
Let me kick it like it's 1986, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still
We could fight a war for peace
(Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now)
Give in to that easy living
Goodbye to my hopes and dreams
Stop flipping for my enemies
We could wave until the walls come down
(Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now)
It's time to give a little tip
Kids in the middle, move over 'til it falls
Don't bother me
Is it coming?
Is it coming?
Is it coming?
Is it coming?
Is it coming?
Is it coming back?
Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, yeah
Your love is an abyss for my heart to eclipse, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still
Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
I've been feeling it since 1966, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still
Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
Let me kick it like it's 1986, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still
Might've had your fill, but you feel it still
Meaning of Feel It Still
“Feel It Still” by Portugal. The Man is a delightfully disorienting exploration of nostalgia, obsession, and the unsettling feeling that something deeply ingrained persists despite attempts to move on. The core of the song revolves around an insistent, almost manic, repetition – “I’ve been feeling it since 1966,” “Might be over now, but I feel it still” – which immediately establishes a sense of temporal displacement and a preoccupation with the past. Musically, the driving funk-rock beat provides a compelling counterpoint to the lyrical content's hazy, dreamlike quality. The lyrics paint a picture of someone grappling with an enduring emotional pull, symbolized by the “little baby girl” and the references to 1966 and 1986 – years that represent not just specific moments but perhaps formative experiences or idealized versions of youth. This isn’t simply about romantic longing; it's about a fundamental shift in perspective, a refusal to fully accept the present. The escalating intensity with questions like "Is it coming?" suggests a growing anxiety and a sense of impending doom, coupled with an almost childlike fascination with chaos – “We could fight a war for peace.” Ultimately, Portugal. The Man crafts a compelling portrait of someone trapped within their own cyclical thoughts and emotions, desperately clinging to a feeling that may be both beautiful and profoundly destructive. The song’s success lies in its ability to evoke this unsettling sensation: the knowledge that some things, once felt intensely, refuse to simply fade away.
