Something Real
Birgitta Alida Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for a moment, will it take me higher?
Feeling like I´m somewhere in between,
somewhere I´ve been before
Spinning around in circles, will it take me higher?
Give me something real,
Tell me now,
tell me how it feels
for real
If I turn around
Will I ever know,
Whats real
There goes another day, wasted like the others
I´m waiting for the break of day, will it take me higher?
We´ve been through this many times before,
can you let it go now
Spinning around in circles, will you take me higher?
Give me something real,
aaah
Birgitta Alida’s lyrics in “Something Real” explore the idea of searching for authenticity in life. The song begins with the singer admitting their vulnerability and willingness to take a risk by falling deeper into something, hoping that it will elevate them to a higher level. However, the repeated question of “will it take me higher?” suggests that the singer is still uncertain about whether this new experience will bring them the fulfillment they seek. It suggests an ongoing search for something beyond what is currently known or felt.
The chorus of the song demands “something real,” indicating that the singer is searching for a genuine, profound experience that will give them a sense of purpose or meaning. The lyrics create a sense of longing for a meaningful existence that transcends the mundanity of day-to-day life. The singer even directly asks someone else to tell them “how it feels for real” to try and understand what a real experience would be like.
The song's repetitive nature echoes the cyclical nature of life itself. The singer feels trapped in a routine, and struggles to break free from it in order to find something more authentic. Ultimately, the song expresses the desire to find a real, authentic experience that can bring purpose and meaning to life.
