Real Life
Gorgon City & Duke Dumont 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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gorgon City and Duke Dumont's "Real Life" convey a deep sense of longing for genuine connection and authenticity in a relationship. The opening lines, "Love you in real life, it means nothing if you don't know what you got," suggest that the singer values real love over superficiality. The idea is further explored in the next line, which compares the feeling of being with the loved one to a Sunday - a day of rest and relaxation. The repetition of "And up" emphasizes the uplifting effect the loved one has on the singer’s life.


The verse continues with the recognition that the party atmosphere created by flashing lights is only temporary and should not overshadow what is truly important. The idea of making pretend is introduced, further underscoring the singer's desire for authenticity. The chorus repeats the phrase "Love you in real life" multiple times, emphasizing the central theme of the song.


The second verse reiterates the importance of staying true to oneself and not losing touch with one's own identity. The use of the word "ferity" adds a sense of wildness or untamed spirit to the relationship. The final lines of the song express the singer's heartfelt wish to love the other person in real life instead of just in a fantasy or make-believe world.
