Real Life
Duke Dumont Gorgon City Naations Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love you in real life

It means nothing
If you don't know what you got
You make it feel like Sunday
And it keeps me holding up
And up

These flashing lights
They're temporary, it's not the end
And the morning sun
Ooh let's then enter, make pretend

I only wanna love you, in real life
Love you in real life
I only wanna love you, in real life
Love you in real life

Love you in real life
Love you in real life

Don't lose your touch
Oh yes and ferity
You and me babe
That's how it's gonna be

These flashing lights
They're temporary it's not the end
And the morning sun
Ooh let's then enter, make pretend

I only wanna love you, in real life
Love you in real life
I only wanna love you, in real life

Love you in real life

Love you in real life
Love you in real life

I just wanna love you
I just wanna love you in real life
I just wanna love you
I just wanna love you in real life

I only wanna love you, in real life
Love you in real life
I only wanna love you, in real life
Love you in real life

I only wanna love you, in real life
Love you in real life
I only wanna love you, in real life
Love you in real life

Love you in real life
Love you in real life
I really wanna love you
I really wanna love you

although i didn't initially think I liked the music as much as other tracks of the time, after seeing the video, this is now one of my favourite dance tracks. usually I'm very picky on the music and don't pay as much attention to whatever video they've slapped onto it to sell it to the masses. but in this occasion I think the video definitely hits a nerve and has a truthful message. This, Need U & Don't Look Back are my top 3 tracks from D.D.

It’s scary how the world feels like Black Mirror was a dystopia goal rather than a warning ⚠️ of the harmful end inevitable consequences of our ever connected world. If you live for approval of apps then you need to re-evaluate yourself.
