Reality
Alif Tree Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't you want face, baby?
Don't you want reality?
[repeat 4x]

Do you have the time?
It's running
Do you feel the time
The time...

I cannot [break it or slow down?]
This is always around

Don't you want face, baby?
Don't you want reality?
[repeat 2x]

I can drive you around
Baby, let me show you
A thigh

Don't you want face, baby?
Don't you want reality?
[repeat 4x]

I cannot let you down
[? sorrow]
[?]
We will bring you down
It will bring you down
It will bring you down...
Down...





It would bring you down
Down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Alif Tree's song Reality seem to be focused on the concept of time and the idea of facing reality. The repetition of the phrase "Don't you want face, baby?" and "Don't you want reality?" emphasizes the importance of accepting the truth and not turning away from it. The lyrics suggest that time is constantly moving forward and one should not try to slow it down or resist it. The line "I cannot [break it or slow down?]/This is always around" further emphasizes the idea that time is a constant force that cannot be stopped or controlled.


The second half of the song seems to introduce a third person perspective when the lyrics switch to "I can drive you around/Baby, let me show you/A thigh." It is unclear who this person is, but it can be interpreted as someone who is trying to distract others from the reality of time and the inevitable passage of it. The repetition of the phrase "It will bring you down/Down" seems to suggest that ignoring reality can have negative consequences and ultimately lead to a downfall.


Overall, the lyrics suggest that accepting and facing reality, while difficult, is necessary in order to move forward and avoid potential negative consequences.
