Real stories always come off worse
Can we make the time to leave it behind and reshape,
Remake our faith in what we see
How you feel so unsteady
I'm already out of reach, remember finding your feet
In a fine time, take the time to find me
I'll be ready waiting let's do something real
Re: You and me, what is said wasn't never meant to hurt
Real stories always come off worse
Can we make the time to leave it behind and reshape
Remake our faith in what we see
How you feel so unsteady
I'm already out of reach, remember finding your feet
In a fine time, take the time to find me
I'll be ready waiting let's do something real
Let's do something real
Let's do something real
Let's do something real

The lyrics to Delphic's song This Momentary seem to be about a relationship that has gone through some tough times, but the singer wants to leave that behind and start anew. The repeated line "what is said wasn't never meant to hurt" could be an attempt to bridge the divide between the two parties and acknowledge that both may have said things they didn't mean in moments of anger. The next line "Real stories always come off worse" suggests that the truth about what happened in the relationship is more painful than any false accusations or exaggerations.
The singer then proposes that they "remake our faith in what we see" and find a way to move past the hurt and distrust. The line "How you feel so unsteady, I'm already out of reach" could be an indication that the other person is still struggling to trust and move on from the past, while the singer is ready to try again. Ending with the repetition of "Let's do something real," the singer is asking the other person to take a chance on their relationship and work toward something meaningful and genuine.
Overall, the lyrics express a desire to leave the past behind and start fresh, with a focus on honesty and authenticity. It's a plea for the other person to join in that effort and create something real and lasting.

This teleports me to the time I first heard in on A-one back in Russia when I was in 10th grade. I'm so glad I finally found it! What a good artistic editing and filming.
