The band began as an after-church endeavor when the DuPrees were young. The band was named Moss Eisley, after the Star Wars city Mos Eisley, but for legal reasons the "Moss" was dropped officially when they announced their tour opening for Coldplay. Now they're all grown up and have both headlined and opened for bands such as (but not limited to): Taking Back Sunday, Coldplay, Switchfoot, Snow Patrol, Brand New, Vedera, MUTEMATH, The Myriad, Hot Hot Heat and New Found Glory, and Say Anything, in which Sherri DuPree married lead singer Max Bemis. Featuring ethereal, soaring harmonies and dreamy imagery, Eisley has a sound all their own. They are, however, not without comparison or influence. Their sound echoes to dream pop and artists such as Cocteau Twins or Mazzy Star and to contemporary acts such as Denali.
Real World
Eisley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the noise between us hides you from my view
Chit chit chattering as I quiver inside
At the thought of your love sinking with nothing to prove
And let's face it love
I'm a wreck without your help
Wreck without your help
Because I won't stand a chance in the real world, in the real world
If you're not by my side I won't survive
You are, you are the key so let's run away
You are, you are the key so let's run away
Marching on, marching on with our teeth to the wind
With our wrists tied to each other we now begin
We're holding on to the love we have
As we look into the sun and forget the past
And let's face it love
I'm a wreck without your help
Wreck without your help
Because I won't stand a chance in the real world, in the real world
If you're not by my side I won't survive
You are, you are the key so let's run away
You are, you are the key so let's run away
Because I won't stand a chance in the real world, in the real world
If you're not by my side I won't survive
You are, you are the key so let's run away
You are, you are the key so let's run away
The lyrics of "Real World" by Eisley reflect a feeling of being lost without the one you love. The chattering noise between the two creates a barrier, reminding the singer that they cannot see their loved one. The fear of losing their love without any evidence of it ever existed leaves the singer feeling helpless and vulnerable.
The song suggests that the singer is dependent on their love for survival in the real world. The phrase, "I'm a wreck without your help," emphasizes their dependency, and the phrase is repeated throughout the song. The singer recognizes that without their partner by their side, they won't stand a chance in reality. However, they believe that their love is the solution, and all they need is to run away with them to escape into the love they have.

The first verse is one of my favorite Stacy lyrics. I think she just really captures what it's like to me across the room from someone you adore, and hear them speaking, and not being able to be next to them at that time. Simple situation, immense feeling. Stacy is good at taking the mundane and making it extraordinary. And can we talk about the time signature on this song? I love it when Weston and Stacy work closely together, it is one of the things I will miss greatly about the old Eisley.

Rachel Geraci This is a nice image! Always nice to see how people interrupt things differently. That's what makes art so great!
Me personally I thought of a scene of two lovers in a spat going back and forth and the "noise" of the senseless argument getting in the way of seeing her lover (and essentially in between their relationship). And goes on to say that she's afraid their love would die.

"Let's face it love I'm a wreck without your help..." That line makes me cry when I think about what my mom has done for me.
