Big Feelings
Andrew Ripp's 'Big Feelings' is a gentle, reassuring song that encourages listeners to embrace their emotions rather than suppress them. It uses vivid imagery like laughter cracking like thunder and tears streaming like rain to normalize the full range of human feelings. The song suggests that vulnerability leads to healing and that even overwhelming emotions can be beautiful. It subtly points to God's love as the source of light that chases away shadows, offering comfort to those struggling with anxiety or emotional pain. The overall message is one of acceptance, peace, and the freedom found in expressing one's true self.
Little bodies with big feelings
Like monsters trapped under soft ceilings
Try and try to push it all down
But I just wanna let it all out
Let it all out
These strong emotions that you're feeling
Are deep blue oceans revealing
The beauty when you say it out loud
So open up and let it all out
Let it all out
Let your laughter crack like thunder
Let your tears stream down like rain
Let your nature be as wild to free
As joy is to the pain
Let your heart break into healing
Let your wide eyed soul escape
Till everything that's overwhelming
Is just as beautiful the same
Little bodies with big feelings
Like children staring at stars, dreaming
Till morning chases the shadows down
Love's the one who let the light out
Let it all out
Let your laughter crack like thunder
Let your tears stream down like rain
Let your nature be as wild to free
As joy is to the pain
Let your heart break into healing
Let your wide eyed soul escape
Till everything that's overwhelming
Is just as beautiful the same
Little bodies with big feelings
Like monsters trapped under soft ceilings
Try and try to push it all down
But I just wanna let it all out
Let it all out
Let it all out
