Real Anymore
Pretender's Reflection: Losing Reality
Lyrics
One, two, alright let's go
The speaker is counting down to start something.
Yeah, I can’t remember how I ever used to face my fear
The speaker can't recall how they faced their fears in the past.
And now I’m looking in the fucking mirror
The speaker is now examining themselves in a mirror.
I’m a reflection of the lies you want to hear
The speaker sees themselves as a reflection of lies that others want to hear.
I’m doing great, thanks for asking, how are you?
A sarcastic response to a question about well-being.
I’m overqualified, but I’m in my comfort zone
The speaker is skilled but prefers staying in their comfort zone.
I’ve got an alibi and I’m standing here alone
The speaker has an alibi and is alone, possibly implying isolation.
But I can’t remember who I was before
The speaker can't remember their past self.
I’m just a pretender, I don’t feel real anymore
The speaker feels like a pretender and no longer feels real.
Anymore, anymore
Reiteration of not feeling real anymore.
Put on your game face if you wanna to survive in this evil place
Advising to wear a fake demeanor to survive in a harsh environment.
‘Cause it’s a rat race and you’ll never get out alive
Life is a competitive race with grim chances of survival.
I was born before this digital hell
The speaker existed before the digital age, highlighting a shift in society.
And it’s slowly taking over if you couldn’t tell
Digital advancements are taking over gradually.
Everything this world has taught me is a lie
The speaker questions the validity of everything they've learned from the world.
And I can’t remember who I was before
Reiteration of not remembering the past self.
I’m just a pretender, I don’t feel real anymore
Reiteration of feeling like a pretender and not being real.
I don’t feel real anymore, I don’t feel real anymore
Reiteration of not feeling real anymore.
I don’t feel real anymore, I don’t feel real anymore
-But I’m in my comfort zone
Despite not feeling real, the speaker is in their comfort zone.
And I’m standing here alone
The speaker is still standing alone in their situation.
Yeah, I don’t know where I lost sight
The speaker is uncertain where they lost their way.
Nothing about this feels right
Expressing discomfort and a sense of wrongness about the current situation.
I can fake this shit all night long
The speaker can fake a positive facade for an extended period.
But now I can’t remember who I was before
Reiteration of not remembering the past self.
I’m just a pretender, I don’t feel real anymore
Reiteration of feeling like a pretender and not being real.
I can’t remember who I was before
Reiteration of not remembering the past self.
I doing great, thanks for asking again
Sarcastic response to a repeated question about well-being.
Put up a fake-ass front in this world of pretend
The speaker puts on a fake front in a world filled with pretense.
I don’t feel real anymore, I don’t feel real anymore
Reiteration of not feeling real anymore.
I don’t feel real anymore, I don’t feel real anymore
-I don’t feel real anymore, I don’t feel real anymore
-I don’t feel real anymore, I don’t feel real anymore
-Anymore
-I’m not real anymore
Final declaration of not being real anymore.
I’m not even real
