Feelings by Hayley Kiyoko is a song with a lot of repetition and intense emotions. At multiple points in the song, Hayley sings the line ‘I’m sorry that I care, It’s really not that fair, I can’t help but care.’ In the song, the character Hayley is portraying has more feelings than her crush. At the beginning of the song, Hayley sings ‘If I look in your eyes, I’ll want you to hold me’. The character in the song really wants the other girl to be into her, but she can’t look at the other girl otherwise she will physically show her true desires. Later in the song, there is a line that says, ‘Caught up inside, both happy and lonely’. The character in the song is feeling happy that she has a crush on a girl but feels like she can’t act on it. There is a line in the song that shows up three times, ‘I laugh about it, dream about that casual touch.’ When someone has a crush on someone, they’ll likely put themselves into situations with their crush and find ways to casually touch them. The character in the song is saying that she lives for those moments when she can subtly touch her crush. The next line is ‘I’m hooked on all these feelings’ which comes after ‘I laugh about it, dream about that casual touch.’ and shows up six times. The character is describing how much she cannot get enough of the feelings she gets from her crush.
