It's Real
Embracing Reality: A Song of Heartfelt Reflection
Lyrics
i’d always dreamed of it
Expressing a long-held aspiration or desire.
that one day i’d make a hit
Ambition to create a popular and successful song.
to defend myself against myself
Using music as a means of self-expression and coping with personal struggles.
sang all the way to school when i was a little girl
Recalling childhood memories of singing on the way to school.
i knew i was from another world
A sense of not fully belonging to the world.
sometimes i see her sunbathed in the window
Visualizing a person from the past in a nostalgic and warm manner.
and those childhood feelings pour down on my head
Reconnecting with emotions from childhood.
i hear a happy song and though i never could write one
Struggling to compose a happy song despite hearing one.
to describe the way i feel when blue shadows fight
Describing complex emotions during moments of conflict.
in our white apartment
Setting the scene in a shared living space.
i know they’re real
Acknowledging the reality of conflicting emotions.
i hear a happy song i know it’s real, it’s real, it’s real
Affirming the genuine nature of a happy song.
i’d died to see you there when we knew i shouldn’t care
Expressing a willingness to take risks for a significant connection.
my heart beat me crazy through the street
Describing intense emotional reactions, possibly love.
then when i climbed the stairs
Transitioning to a different emotional state while ascending.
saw you laughing with him there
Observing a romantic interest with someone else.
sitting pretty as two dripping knives
Depicting a situation with a metaphorical description.
true lust only exists inside my heart
Contemplating the true nature of desire and passion.
and in these moments that i’m heartless
Reflecting on moments of emotional emptiness.
life is meaningless and poor
Philosophical reflection on life's meaning during emotional lows.
and real, so real
Affirming the tangible and authentic nature of experiences.
that dragon in my heart is something real
Metaphorical reference to an intense, perhaps burdensome, emotion.
so real, it’s real, it’s real
Reiterating the reality and authenticity of intense emotions.
