It's Real
Real Estate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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.

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

Literally the best description of this song.
@PatrickPierceBateman
It reminds me of a set of big natural boobs. Like the kind of boobs that you know are real when you see them. Cheers.

I can't even express how happy this song makes me.

I can't take this song off loop. My eyes are literally filling with tears. This life is fundamentally sad with occasional joys. Not the other way around.

Don't understand how this band is not really popular. I just listened to like 10 of their songs and loved every single one of them. Crime is an especially good song. This band has become one of my favorites in a matter of an hour.
