Turn to Real Life
Shiny Toy Guns Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eyes are magic
See right through me
Makes me feel like
A girl in a fantasy
Turned to real life
Stars in the morning
Makes me feel like
A girl in a fantasy
Turned to real life

Now I'm glowing
Like a sunset
In the window
Of my dreams
That turned to real life
I'll never forget when
For the first time
A girl in a fantasy
Turned to real life

[Chorus]
Makes me feel like
A girl in a fantasy
Turned to real life
I'm a believer
For the first time
I can be beautiful
A girl in a fantasy
Turned to real life

Your fingers running
Over my body
Makes me feel like
A silver angel
Under the moonlight
Right beside me
Makes me feel like
A girl in a fantasy
Turned to real life

[Chorus: x3]

I was cruising on the highway. The sun was shining. It was a perfect drive. Then this song came on and it all seemed like a fantasy. It was amazing. I started to tear up :')

@Seeyatellite

Hehe flobots handlebars hit me on the highway driving from Michigan to California through a bunch of states. May have been with my father but that's still how I remember that song. Behind the wheel of our silver Jeep Grand Cherokee felt like driving my first car with friends. All it takes is a connected memory and relevant lyrics to switch back to that nostalgia mode. I had a white 2wd Jeep GC that we always saved money to just escape to the highway... actually wrote and narrated a poem about it then uploaded it to this Youtube channel.
