Question Of Reality
Apartment 26 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mistook your mood, I began to beg you
Promises kept like yesterday's news
Thanks for the memories and thanks for the time
Thoughts come to me just like you take to me
So why do you stop as I'm begging for more?
When you look at me is there anything to see but you
When you think about me is anything real at all?
Chorus:
Slowly draining away
It's such a shame, you've missed the point again
I can't let reality seep in
I thank you
I only do it to feel you watch me
Confused intentions, you begin to beg me
Thanks for the memories and thanks for the time
Just like a voice that's heard by a child
Hidden away too close to be seen
Why do you call as I'm waiting at your door
When you think about me, is anything real at all
Chorus (2x)
I thank you (2x)
Chorus (2x)
I thank you
The lyrics of "Question Of Reality" by Apartment 26 seem to talk about a relationship that is ending. The singer in the song called to bid goodbye to the person they're talking to. However, they misread the other's mood and start begging them to stay. They thank the other person for the memories and time spent together, but as the singer tries to get more closure, the other person seems to back away. The singer wonders if there is anything more to see or if anything was ever real between them. The chorus seems to imply that the singer is avoiding reality and unable to face the truth of the situation.
The second verse seems to suggest that the relationship was not completely genuine. The singer confesses that they kept the relationship going just to feel the other person's attention on them. The other person, in turn, also has confused intentions and begins to beg the singer. The singer thanks the other person for the memories again but feels hidden away "too close to be seen." The song ends with the singer thanking the other person repeatedly.
Overall, the song seems to be about how people can use relationships to fill a void and avoid facing reality. It also highlights how relationships can be one-sided and lack genuine connections.

I thank you
Despite everything, I'm still grateful for the time we had together
