It's Real
Real Estate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

I don't know who's behind
The wheel
Sometimes I feel like I don't know
The deal
But when I tell you how
I feel
Believe me when I say
It's real

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's real

I carved our names into
A tree
I walked on decomposing
Leaves
I skated on a frozen
Sea
It's real as far as I
Can see

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's real
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's real
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's real
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's real

Overall Meaning

The song "It's Real" by Real Estate has a nostalgic vibe and conveys an uncertainty in the midst of emotional attachment. The lyrics express the uncertainty and difficulties that come with love, but despite the chaos, the feelings are genuine and real. The opening lines, "I don't know who's behind the wheel, sometimes I feel like I don't know the deal," alludes to the confusion that comes with navigating love and relationships. You never know what's around the corner, you can never predict what the future holds, and you can never be certain of how the person you love actually feels. All you know for sure is that the emotions you're feeling are real.


The chorus, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it's real," is a reminder that despite the chaos and confusion, the music, carved names into trees, walking on decomposing leaves, and skating on frozen seas, and all the emotions that come with falling in love are real. These experiences make us feel alive, which is why we continue to pursue them even when we're uncertain of the outcome.


In conclusion, "It's Real" by Real Estate is an ode to love and the uncertainties and complexities that come with it. Despite the confusion and chaos, the emotions that accompany love and relationships are genuine and real.


Line by Line Meaning

I don't know who's behind the wheel
I do not have control over everything that happens around me, and uncertainty sometimes scares me.


Sometimes I feel like I don't know the deal
There are events and circumstances surrounding me that I cannot fathom their reason or logic, and it disorients me.


But when I tell you how I feel
When I open up to you about my emotions, knowing that you care and understand me gives me confidence.


Believe me when I say it's real
What I am feeling is not just imagined, it is genuine.


I carved our names into a tree
I have committed our relationship to memory and permanent existence as a testimony of our love.


I walked on decomposing leaves
I have experienced times of decay, hardship, and despair with you.


I skated on a frozen sea
I have overcome obstacles that seemed impossible with you by my side, and I believe we can do anything together.


It's real as far as I can see
I cannot predict the future, but I know that our love is genuine and will stand the test of time, it's as certain as anything I have seen.

For some strange reason, one i cant explain for the life of me. This song brings me a great feeling of melancholy...the type you feel when you feel the summer heat start to slip away as autumn rolls in. It reminds me of the leaves turning crisp and orange and falling from trees, with a gentle breeze that catches you by surprise.

This is truly a piece of art, what a beautiful tune

Huge fan of Mac Demarco, which lead me to other singers/bands such as Real Estate, HOMESHAKE, Mile High Club, Sean Nicholas Savage, Deerhunter, King Krule, Ariel Pink, Wild Nothing. I could go on. All absolutely beautiful and this song is easily one of my favorites I have found.
