Realize
Benny Sings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't think too much – one day it's all over
You make me feel like a different man
Just stay in touch – and one day it's all over
Realise we belong together
You and I we're apart together
Close your eyes and we're all together now
You and I we're apart together
Close your eyes and we're all together now
You try to find what you leave behind
Hunt high and low and one day it's all over
You can't fight knowing what's wrong or right
When all we know is one day it's all over
Realise we belong together
You and I we're apart together
Close your eyes and we're all together now
Realise we belong together
You and I we're apart together
Close your eyes and we're all together now
How can the people sleep alone
The song "Realize" by Benny Sings is an emotional and inspiring ballad with beautiful lyrics that are open to interpretation. In the song, the singer is urging the person he is addressing to take a chance on love and to pursue their feelings, rather than letting fear or indecision hold them back. The opening lyrics, "What do you feel when you look like that / Don't think too much – one day it's all over," suggest that the singer is encouraging the person to live in the moment and embrace their feelings, rather than analyzing and overthinking them. He goes on to say "You make me feel like a different man / Just stay in touch – and one day it's all over," implying that their connection is transformative and that they should hold onto it while they can.
The chorus, "Realise we belong together / You and I we're apart together / Close your eyes and we're all together now," speaks to the idea that even if the two are physically separated or far apart, they still have a strong emotional tie that connects them. The singer is urging the person to realize this and to feel comforted by it. The second verse, "You try to find what you leave behind / Hunt high and low and one day it's all over / You can't fight knowing what's wrong or right / When all we know is one day it's all over," continues this theme of urgency and the idea that time is fleeting. The lyrics suggest that the person may be searching for something they've lost, and the singer is telling them that they need to act before it's too late.
Overall, "Realize" is a beautiful and poignant song about the importance of living in the moment and pursuing love and connection, no matter where it may lead. The lyrics are emotional and raw, and the melody is haunting and evocative.
