The song "I've Got A Feeling" by Jessica Pratt is about a woman who is caught up in a relationship that she knows is not good for her. The lyrics suggest that she is aware that the man she is with is just using her for his own pleasure, yet she cannot resist his magnetism. The singer talks about how she feels when she looks into the man's eyes and how she knows that he is just a "lonely ride" with both ends burning tonight. She describes herself as another "thousandth sister to the night" who is being tricked into staying with him. Despite her knowledge of the situation, the singer is drawn back to the man every time she sees him. She feels that their "wires crossed end-to-end" and that he is "reeling the girl in again." The cigarette that he lights is a metaphor for their relationship, as it burns out to the deep, just like her. In the end, the singer asks the girl to dance for her, which can be interpreted as a plea for her to break free from the toxic relationship and start living her life on her own terms. Overall, "I've Got A Feeling" is a melancholic but beautiful song that explores the complex emotions that arise in unhealthy relationships. It speaks to the heartbreak and longing that many people feel when they are trapped in a situation that they know is not good for them.
