I was listening through some Robert Plant songs tonight, trying to find the ones that used to affect me when I had a tape and played it, usually while driving cross country.
I identified that one of my favorite songs was
"The Way I Feel" because of its mood of unease and repeated discontent.
I can tell that back then I listened much less to lyrics and much more to the overall feeling of the song than I do now, because it didn't bother me then that I didn't understand exactly what the song was about. However, I do recall the chorus and my favorite line, which I felt matched the song's somber feeling well: "The mirror tries to please me. The image wouldn't stay."
