I Can Feel A Hot One Lyrics

Send "I Can Feel A Hot One" Ringtone to your Cell

I could feel a hot one taking me down
For a moment, I could feel the force
Veiny to the point of tears
And you were holding on to make a point
What's the point?

I am but a clean man, stable and alone man
Make it so I won't have to try
The faces always stay the same
So I'll face the fact that I'm just fine
I said that I'm just fine

I remember, head down,
After you had found out
Manna is a hell of a drug
And I need a little more, I think
Because enough is never quite enough
What's enough?

I took it like a grown man crying on the pavement
Hoping you would show your face
But I haven't heard a thing you've said
In at least a couple hundred days
What'd you say?

I was in the front seat, shaking it out
And I was asking if you felt alright
I never want to hear the truth
I want to hear your voice, it sounded fine
My voice is sounding fine

I could feel my heartbeat taking me down
And for the moment, I would sleep alright
Veiny with a selfish fear
To keep me up another restless night
Another restless night

The blood was dry, it was sober
The feeling of audible cracks
And I could tell it was over
From the curtains that hung from your neck

And I realized that then you were perfect
With my teeth ripping out of my head
And it looked like a painting I once knew
Back when my thoughts were not the leak intact

So I prayed for what I thought were angels
Ended up being ambulances
And the Lord showed me dreams of my daughter
She was crying inside your stomach

And I felt love again

Another beautiful song by Manchester.

I think it's:
(I'm burning) with a selfish fear to keep me up another restless night
Another restless night

and:
The Lord showed me dreams of my daughter
She was crying inside your (stomach)

i can feel a hot one taking me down
for a moment i could feel the force
VEINY to the point of tears
and you were holding on to make a point
whats the point?

i am but a clean man, stable and alone man
make it so i wont have to try
the faces always stay the same
so ill face the fact that im just fine
i said that im just fine

i remember head down after you had found out
MANNA is a hell of a drug
i need a little more i think
because enough is never quite enough
whats enough?

i took it like a grown man crying on the pavement
hoping you would show your face
well i havent heard a thing youve said
in atleast a couple hundred days
whatd you say?

i was in the front seat shaking it out
and i was asking if you felt alright
i never want to hear the truth
i want to hear your voice is sounding fine
my voice is sounding fine

i can feel my heartbeat taking me down
and for the moment i will sleep alright
im VEINY with a selfish fear
to keep me up another restless night
another restless night

your blood was dry it was sober
the feeling of audible cracks
and i could tell it was over
from the curtains that hung from your neck

and i realized at then you were perfect
my teeth ripping out of my head
and it looked like a painting that i once knew
back when my thoughts were not tire leak intact
so i prayed for what i thought were angels
ended up being ambulances
and Lord showed me dreams of my daughter
she was crying inside your stomach
and i felt love again

those are the correct lyrics straight from the lyric book that came with the CD

i think its about an unplanned pregnancy and at first they were thinking about an abortion (selfish fear; restless nights) and then maybe they decided to go with the pregnancy. and i cant decide if the baby was actually born or if it was a miscarriage..or maybe they went with the abortion? i dont know.

anyone have ideas to what he means? or what you get from it?

heres my two cents...

i think it has to do with drug abuse. i feel cocaine. and that his addiction is the cause of an ending relationship. and he knows it's from his abuse.

that's what most people think. i was reading an article about manchester and they mentioned this song. it said something like "...he had a surrealistic dream abotu his wife dying in a car accident..." and she was pregnant. something along those lines, i don't remember.

manna is a biblical imagery, it deals with when god gave them manna to eat. they would take more than they needed and it would spoil due to the fact that they would take more than they needed even though god would always supply them with their needs.

and he is saying i need a little more i think because that was the whole thing with manna gods people would always take more than they needed and they never knew what was enough...

this is posted on a different web site from the lead singer himself on a question and answer survey.

I plugged "I'm burning..." into the lyrics and listened and it didn't flow quite that well. I hear a 'v' sound at the beginning of that word, I just can't make it out. Other corrections were made, though - thanks.

I thought it was "Man, E is a hell of a drug." as in ecstacy.

Either way, I'm in love with this song. I'm having a little trouble figuring out what it's about though.

alot of machester orchestra songs have allusions to god and what i see as their relationship to him. manna is symbolic of a gift from god. he lost his gift from god, and is suffering(going through withdrawl) because of it.

i think it's

"I could feel my heartbeat taking me down
And for the moment, I would sleep alright
A baby with a selfish fear
To keep me up another restless night"

makes sense to me.

I think the song is about a man and his girlfriend/wife who had drug problems and ended up killing herself while she was pregnant with a baby girl. But maybe it has a deeper meaning

I think this song is about a car crash.

"I was in the front seat, shaking it out
And I was asking if you felt alright
I never want to hear the truth
I want to hear your voice, it sounded fine
My voice, it sounded fine"

That's after the crash. He's in the front seat shaking off what just happened. He wants to hear her voice, and the line "I never want to hear the truth" implies he knows something is wrong, he just refuses to accept it.

"I took it like a grown man crying on the pavement
Hoping you would show your face
But I haven't heard a thing you've said
In at least a couple hundred days
What'd you say?"

He's sitting on the pavement grieving her death longing to see her walk out of the car.

"To pray for what I thought were angels
Ended up being ambulances
And the Lord showed me dreams of my daughter
She was crying inside your stomach"

I'm guessing with that line he died as well. Now they're both together in "heaven" with god.

And some more lines that fit in with the crash:

"The blood was dry, it was sober"

"For a moment, I could feel the force
Fainted to the point of tears"

"Manna is a hell of a drug
And I need a little more, I think
Because enough is never quite enough"

i think you're right with this one.

but the only verse i do not understand is this one, can anyone help me?:

"The blood was dry, it was sober
The feeling of audible cracks
And I could tell it was over
From the curtains that hung from your neck"

oh, and i also agree with whoever thinks that the correct lyrics is
"a baby with a selfish fear, to keep me up another restless night"

I like this idea of it being a car crash. However, I think this entire song is about a man (singer) contemplating "A HOT ONE" which means, a big problem. That big problem is the fact that his gf/wife is pregnant and he dosnt know how to deal with it.

"I could feel a hot one taking me down
For a moment, I could feel the force
Fainted to the point of tears
And you were holding on to make a point
What's the point?"

-here, he is talking about whenever she tell him she is expecting. " You were holding on to make a point" refering to how maybe she tries to make him look on the bright side of the situation. He odviously dosnt find it important("whats the point?")

"The faces always stay the same
So I face the fact that I'm just fine
I said that I'm just fine"

"the faces always stay the same" refers to how things dont change.the problem is still there no matter how much time it goes by.

"I remember, head down,
After you had found out
Manna is a hell of a drug
And I need a little more, I think
Because enough is never quite enough
What's enough?"

this verse is pretty clear: After she find out she's pregnant, he deals with it by taking drugs, MANY drugs. because nothing is enough to make the problem (the fact that he is going to be a father, go away)

"I took it like a grown man crying on the pavement
Hoping you would show your face
But I haven't heard a thing you've said
In at least a couple hundred days
What'd you say?"

He takes the problem like a grown up, he pretend, infront of her that everything is going to be fine. But in reality he has been so caught up on his own mind about this that he hasnt heard anything she has said in "couple hundred days" (200 days= 6 moths 20 days of her pregnancy)

"I was in the front seat, shaking it out
And I was asking if you felt alright
I never want to hear the truth
I want to hear your voice, it sounded fine
My voice, it sounded fine"

this verse refers to when shes going into labor, and he is driving her to the hospital trying to keep her calmmed even though he is freaking out too.

"I could feel my heartbeat taking me down
And for the moment, I would sleep alright
Invading with a selfish fear
To keep me up another restless night
Another restless night"

I woul b able to sleep now that the moment is almost over.the selfish fear could easy be refering to the fact that he had been wanting her to loose the baby. That fear, has keeped him up many nights.

"The blood was dry, it was sober
The feeling of audible cracks
And I could tell it was over
From the curtains that hung from your neck"

"the curtains that hung from your neck" refer to those ugly looking robes they give u at the hospital whenever you are a patient. Once he saw her wearing that, he realized that the anticipation was over. Everything he was worried about was over because she was going to give birth.

"And I realized that then you were perfect
And my teeth ripping out of my head
And it looked like a painting I once knew
Back when my thoughts weren't entirely intact"

it was at that moment, that all of his bad thoughts were gone and he was happy again, " back when my thoughts weren't entirely intact" meaning when he wasnt to pre-ocupied being careful about what he thought( wanting her to loose the baby)

"To pray for what I thought were angels
Ended up being ambulances
And the Lord showed me dreams of my daughter
She was crying inside your stomach"

as he waits at the hospital, he falls asleep and dreams of his daughter!

"and I felt love, Again"

i think "mannny/manna" is symbolic for something else. by 'hell of a drug' i don't believe he's referring to an actual drug. the bit at the end is a bit confusing.

hmmm...this song is definitely very low-key.
from listening to the song i get a feeling of unsettlement and longing :/ that might just be me, though.

manna is a biblical term used in the old testament

its what the israelites ate

it supposedly came every morning

there has been much speculation as to what it is, but no one knows for sure

I think it's about a car accident. His wife/girlfriend was pregnant, and they both died. He was hoping to die too, but he ended up living.

"To pray for what I thought were angels
Ended up being ambulances
And the Lord showed me dreams of my daughter
She was crying inside your stomach"

"I'm ? with a selfish fear
To keep me up another restless night
Another restless night"

he's saying he was afraid he would live...which he did.

Come on guys. Andy Hull does not do drugs. Manna is not even close to shrooms. It was a type of food in which Jesus gave the Israelites during their desert trek.

This song is going to mean something different to everyone, but to me it seems like it is about premarital pregnancy where the religious couple was pressed on what to do so they aborted. In turn, she left him because of the traumatic event.

ebott do you know andy personally?

and just because he may/may not do them doesn't mean he can't write about them. even if that's what he's writing about.

and i agree it means something different to everyone. that is what's amazing about his lyrics. ambiguous and full of interpretation.

no i don't know him personally, but it is widely know that andy is/was an extremely religious man with a pastor father and grandfather. I can't imagine andy being one that would do drugs, but freeman can be debatable. I can only believe that when he says 'manna' he is referring to the bread that jesus gave the isrealites. But in the end, who really knows what kind of adventures he's had.
