I got this feeling, inside my bones
It goes electric, wavy when I turn it on
All through my city, all through my home
We're flying up, no ceiling, when we in our zone
Baby, this is what you come for
Lightning strikes every time she moves
I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops
And everybody's watching her
But she's looking at you, oh, oh
Dance, dance, dance
You, oh, oh
Dance, dance, dance
We go fast 'til they can't replay
It's in the air, it's in my blood, it's rushing on
Who knows why it's gotta be this way
And under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine
Nothing I can see but you dance, dance, dance
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
All those things I should do to you
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leaving soon, so keep dancing
I can't stop the feeling
You, oh, oh
Dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
You, oh, oh
Dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
You, oh, oh
Dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
You, oh, oh
Dance, dance, dance
Got this feeling in my body
Got this feeling in my body
Wanna see you move your body
Got this feeling in my body, come on
Can't Stop The Feeling - This Is What You Came For
Can't Stop The Feeling - This Is What You Came For Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration
Released on May 27, 2016, Anthem Lights delivered a dynamic mashup blending the high-energy pop anthems "Can't Stop The Feeling" and "This Is What You Came For." While the original tracks captured universal themes of irresistible joy and finding a compelling destination, Anthem Lights' performance imbues these feelings with a spiritual resonance that speaks powerfully to a faith perspective. The combined energy of the pieces, delivered through their signature vocal harmonies and vibrant arrangement, translates the simple exuberance and sense of arrival into an experience that can readily parallel the overwhelming joy found in a relationship with the divine and the profound sense of purpose discovered in one's faith journey.
The infectious rhythm and soaring melodies, originally celebrating earthly delight and anticipation, can be interpreted through a lens of spiritual awakening and fulfillment. The feeling that "you can't stop" parallels the uncontainable joy and peace that surpass understanding, promises found in passages like Philippians 4:7, and the truth that the joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). This isn't just a fleeting emotion; it's a deep-seated gladness that wells up from within, much like the living water Jesus spoke of in John 4:14, a joy that circumstances cannot diminish because its source is eternal. The part declaring "this is what you came for" echoes the biblical truth that humanity was created for a purpose – to know God, to glorify Him, and to enjoy Him forever. Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. This search for meaning and belonging, inherent in the human spirit, finds its ultimate answer in finding our identity and calling in Christ, truly realizing "this is what we came for."
Anthem Lights' vocal delivery captures the exhilarating sense of finally arriving at something intensely desired and the subsequent outpouring of emotion. This mirrors the spiritual journey of those who have been searching for truth and peace, finally finding their rest in God. Psalm 16:11 declares, "You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." This describes an overwhelming sense of arrival and fulfillment that transcends temporary happiness. Similarly, the feeling of being drawn into something irresistible in the song resonates with the way God's love can draw us in, a love that is "too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it" (Psalm 139:6), yet fully accessible through grace. The song's overall effect, when viewed from this perspective, transforms from a simple pop mashup into an anthem of spiritual discovery and the irrepressible joy that accompanies finding the true purpose and destination for which every soul yearns, ultimately rooted in knowing the Creator. It serves as a musical reminder that the most profound feelings of joy and fulfillment are often found when we align our lives with the divine plan, discovering that in God's presence is exactly "what we came for."
