“How Does It Feel?” addresses a one-sided relationship in which Jenna feels taken advantage of. She feels trapped in a fabricated world of lies and challenges her antagonist to reconsider their manipulative ways. The song was the third single released from Tonight Alive’s third studio album Limitles...
[Verse 1]
Waking up to a nightmare
How the hell did I get here?
Giving in to my worst fear
Tell me when it ends
I was weak when you found me
Started out like a good dream
Built your walls up around me
Now they're closing in
Let me go
[Chorus]
How does it feel?
How can you say
That I'm the only one?
You only want your way
Nothing is real
Lost in the world that you create
How does it feel?
[Verse 2]
I guess I should've seen the signs
Can't believe I believed the lies
Always ripe in your own mind
Now I'm in too deep
I was caught up in the mystery
You were running from your history
Tangled up in the memory
Tell me how you sleep
Let me go
[Chorus]
How does it feel?
How can you say
That I'm the only one?
You only want your way
Nothing is real
Lost in the world that you create
How does it feel?
[Bridge]
How does it feel?
And how does it feel?
(Ooh)
You can't hold me
Can't control me
(Ooh)
Now I'm waking
Your world is breaking
[Chorus]
How does it feel?
How can you say
That I'm the only one?
You only want your way
Nothing is real
Lost in the world that you create
How does it feel?
[Outro]
Tell me how does it feel?
I can set you in my sight now
I like it better when I bite down
Tell me, how does it
