Annotations and Meaning:

The track I Feel Something full of deep emotion and personal struggle. "I'm up and down, I'm unenthused" is one of the first lines of the song and says so much about where he is emotionally, probably in leaving TDE and pressure to continue music output. Line means that Kendrick has been battling with his feelings and expectations. The following line is, "Happy then I'm paralyzed by other moods", meaning that Kendrick's happy moments tend to be negated by moods of depression. In a second, he turns to the point of being paralyzed by bad mood. It shows how quickly his emotional state can change. "To see there's an exit is impossible / Chasin' worry, chasin' program / Distorted the ways of the world again" are the lines that tell us how to be entrapped and always worried. Through the metaphor, this could symbolize unrealistic beauty standards in the fashion industry, which is pointed out in the song's connection to a CHANEL fashion show. This perfectionism gives rise to one's distorted self-image and an infinite worry over one's appearance. Quite repetitively, both Kendrick and Imani Selina let loose the chorus: "There's a hold on me, and it strengthens / There's a troubled spirit, hard to explain, yeah, yeah / I feel somethin', I feel somethin'." Again, this repetition reinforces the firm grip of emotions while explaining that their spirits are troubled inexplicably. Both reverence and pain indicate the complexity of the emotional experiences. This feature underlines the complexity of experiences connected with the track. Imani Selina in the same Chanel fashion show complemented the voice of Kendrick in beautiful harmony. Finally, Imani Selina, a new signee to pgLang, brings her experiences and perspectives into the fold, which only broadens the meaning of the song.
