Real
Gorgan City ft. Yasmin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I
Were so in love
Nothing could ever come between us
But me and you
We're so confused
And now we're left in broken pieces
I know that the faster you rise is
Harder to fall.

Now we don't care it all
You and I
Just can't be free
Now all I know is that we used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real

You and I
We're far too young
Thought we knew what we were feeling
But me and you
We hadn't
And now we lost and have no meaning
We know we need to let go
It's the end of the road, don't go back
We can get by on our own.

You and I
Just can't be freed
All I know is that we used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be so real
Ain't no happy ending
We were living like pretending
No answer to a question
We are just too far go remember
We had everything
We were so pathetic

But now we are the lack that we used to be, heaay
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real

You and I
Were so in love
Nothing could ever come between us
But me and you
We're so confused
And now we're left in broken pieces
I know that the faster you rise, is
The harder you fall
Now we don't care it all
You and I
Just can be free
Now all I know is that we used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
Oh, real, real, real




We used to be so real
We used to be real

Overall Meaning

The song "Real" by Gorgan City ft. Yasmin is about a failed relationship wherein the couple has reached a point where they feel trapped and cannot be together anymore. The lyrics express the feeling of confusion, loss, and brokenness that comes with the end of a relationship that was once considered real. The song talks about how the couple thought they were in love but realized that they were too young and did not understand their feelings.


The lyrics suggest that the relationship was once strong, and nothing could come between them, but gradually, they lost their way and became confused. They are left with nothing but broken pieces and memories of the past. The song expresses the idea that relationships can fall apart as quickly as they come together, and they should not be taken for granted.


One of the significant lines in the song is "I know that the faster you rise is harder to fall," which means that the higher you raise your expectations, the harder it is to come back down to reality. The song emphasizes the importance of letting go and moving on from a relationship that has reached its end.
