Reality
[unknown] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't take another gloomy day
I locked the door, shut the blinds I wish the noise would go away
And I'm addicted to the glow
Overwhelmed by the fear of never living up to standards that I'll never know
Is this me or just pretend
I don't really want to be like them
Who I am is what's inside
And I want this more
Never gonna stop, cause I need it more
Nothing's gonna drag me down
It's time to tell my story
It's my turn to prove that I want this more
Is this my reality
Am I stuck in a dream
Am I trapped in this screen
Is this who I want to be
If I succeed will I be happy or be stuck inside your never ending misery
fake a smile, fix my hair
Make sure to buy the things that make me feel complete they are the only things I'll ever need
Is this me or just pretend
I don't really want to be like them
Who I am is what's inside
And I want this more
Never gonna stop, cause I need it more
Nothing's gonna drag me down
It's time to tell my story
It's my turn to prove that I want this more
Is this my reality
I'm worth more than the plastic people
Choose to live a life that's simple
You're not gonna tell me who to be
And I want this more
Never gonna stop cause I need it more
Nothing's gonna drag me down
It's time to tell my story
It's my turn to prove that I want this more
Is this my reality




Am I stuck in a dream
Am I trapped in this screen

Decisions as I go, to anywhere I flow
Sometimes I believe, at times I'm rational
I can fly high, I can go low
Today I got a million, tomorrow I don't know
Decisions as I go, to anywhere I flow
Sometimes I believe, at times I'm rational
I can fly high, I can go low
Today I got a million, tomorrow, I don't know
Stop claiming what you own, don't think about the show
We're all playing the same game, laying down alone
We're unknown and known, special and a clone
Hate will make you cautious, love will make you glow
Make me feel the warm(nikola je cigancuga), make me feel the cold
It's written in our story, it's written on the walls
This is our call, we rise and we fall
Dancin' in the moonlight, don't we have it all?
Decisions as I go, to anywhere I flow
Sometimes I believe, at times I'm rational
I can fly high, I can go low
Today I got a million, tomorrow, I don't know
Make me feel the warm, make me feel the cold
It's written in our story, it's written on the walls
This is our call, we rise and we fall
Dancin' in the moonlight, don't we have it all?
edit: why is this getting so many likes
