Song Meaning of “Can’t Help the Way I Feel” by XL Middleton
In this song, XL Middleton is contemplating the way he feels about a lover he is infatuated with. He laments that although he can’t control his emotions, it’s not something he loves or wants, but it is always with him. He is addressing his feelings of helplessness over the power of love, despite his best efforts to control and resist it. He acknowledges that even though he feels like he cannot help the way he feels, the emotions remain and he is powerless to prevent them from continuing to grow. He is trying to understand and accept the power of his own feelings, and accept the fact that he cannot change the way he feels. He is coming to terms with the idea that this is how it is, and he accepts the fate that his heart has chosen for him. He knows that there is nothing he can do to resist it, and he knows that he can’t help the way he feels.
