Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you couldn't think of anything to say then (x2
What makes you think you’ll know what to say now
Next time around I’ll learn how to think twice I never learned how to go slow
I never pause before I go
Gimme that kiss that hmmm .That something . Say it like this “I’m in .”
You ain't got what I’m looking for
Put your money we're your mouth is and ..
Gimme gimme something real
Gimme gimme gimme gimme your love
I know what you're thinking why fix it when you know that it ain't broken Oh baby baby
Gimme gimme something real
Oh give in give in give in baby right now
But you gotta at least try
All I hear is the sound of stormy waves Pounding on the ledges
Ledges of my head
There’s only so much one can know
If there's a glow behind the storm let it enlighten my soul I’ just sticking my neck out , thinking to myself
No pain no soul , no haim , no goal .
Gimme that kiss that hmmm .That something . Say it like this “I’m in .”
Baby I ain't down with that
You ain't got what I’m looking for
Put your money we're your mouth is and ..
Gimme gimme something real
Gimme gimme gimme gimme your love
I know what you're thinking why fix it when you know that it ain't broken Oh baby baby
Gimme gimme something real
Oh give in give in give in baby right now
Gimme gimme something real
Oh give in give in give in baby right now
But you gotta at least try x2
Gimme that kiss, that hmmm, that something ... x2
The song "Something Real" by Bergmann is about the longing for authenticity in a relationship. The lyrics speak to the frustration of waiting for promises that were made when someone was "kite high," or at their best, but then being let down by their lack of effort or intentionality in everyday life. The line "what makes you think you’ll know what to say now" suggests that the singer has lost faith in the other person's ability to follow through on their promises. The chorus emphasizes this desire for something genuine and substantial - a "real" connection that goes beyond surface-level affection.
The bridge of the song introduces a metaphor of stormy waves pounding on the ledges of the singer's head, which could represent the internal struggle to find meaning and purpose in a relationship that feels shallow or unfulfilling. The line "no pain no soul, no haim, no goal" suggests that the singer recognizes the value of enduring difficulties in a relationship in order to achieve deeper connection and growth.
In the end, the singer asks for a "kiss that something" - a genuine expression of love and commitment that goes beyond words. They are willing to invest in something real, but only if the other person is willing to do the same.

My thoughts are consumed by chaos and turmoil. I know that there's a limit to what one person can understand. If there's any hope behind the chaos of life, I want it to bring light to my soul. I'm taking a risk, knowing that without risk there's no reward.
