The Feels song by Calvis Harris.

This song actually says "don't be afraid to catch feels", but I heard it as "don't be afraid to catch fish". After all, "catch fish" makes more sense. How does one catch "feels"?

I don't know. But why would anyone be afraid to catch fish?

Are you sure that it isn't "don't be afraid to cop a feel"?

I didn't she was referring to catching fish literally. I thought that she was saying "catch fish" as a metaphor for something, though wasn't sure what the metaphor was for.

It's not catching a fish I'd be afraid of, it would be having to gut it and then cook and eat it afterwards where I'd have a problem. :eew:

I'm afraid getting caught hurts the fish. Catch and release only for me, if I go fishing.

People do say "There are plenty of fish in the sea" to mean "There are plenty of people out there" or something along those lines. Makes sense to me that it might be a metaphor related to that, maybe meaning "Don't be afraid to start a relationship." I haven't heard the song, though, that might not make sense in context.
