Overall Meaning

The song "Real Life" by Excellence is a beautiful ode to genuine human connection in the midst of a world obsessed with virtuality. The lyrics speak to the yearning for something real, something that can't be replicated or manipulated by technology. The opening lines of the song set the tone for this message by posing a rhetorical question: "who can tell you what is real?" The lyrics go on to assert that although the truth may be elusive, the feeling of what is authentic is undeniable. The singer of the song longs for a positive energy that can only come from a real connection with another human being: "you make everything I do a hundred times more true."


The song is a tender statement about the power of love and the comfort that comes from knowing someone cares for you, no matter what life may throw your way. The lyrics urge the listener to embrace their true selves and not get lost in the superficial trappings of fame and success: "when it's all bright lights and limousines, a girl can lose sight of what it means. But don't lose your soul to find your dreams." In short, "Real Life" is a reminder to live authentically and to cherish the connections that make life worth living.
