Its Not Real
Hazel English Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Driven by fantasy
How do I get back to it once again
But the dream is all I have

I try to recreate the image in my head
It's all I see
But the flaws are all that's left
All our lives
We just keep searching for what does not exist
When will I
Be willing to finally admit
It's not real

It's tempting to predict the future but it's futile all the same
The past is all we have
And every time I try to replicate the signals in my brain
The flaws are all that's left

All our lives
We just keep searching for what does not exist
When will I
Be willing to finally admit
It's not real

What am I doing?
Why am I trying to forget you, oh?
What am I doing?
Why am I trying to forget you, oh?

All our lives
We just keep searching for what does not exist
When will I




Be willing to finally admit
It's not real

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hazel English's song "It's Not Real" describe a person who is struggling to let go of a fantasy that they have created in their mind. They are trying to recreate an image in their head that is not based on reality, but they cannot help it because it's all they have. Despite the flaws that are evident, the person does not want to admit that what they are seeking is not real. They keep trying to replicate the signals in their brain to recreate the fantasy, but they are not able to do so successfully.


The lyrics also touch on the idea that people spend most of their lives searching for something that does not exist. They are always trying to predict the future or recreate the past, but in the end, it's all futile. The past is all they have, and they cannot change it. The person in the song is struggling to move on from a relationship and is asking themselves why they are trying to forget the other person. They are trying to convince themselves that the fantasy they have created is real but deep down inside, they know it's not.


Line by Line Meaning

Driven by fantasy
Motivated by the imaginary world inside my head


How do I get back to it once again
How can I return to the dream world of my imagination?


But the dream is all I have
The only thing I have left is the surreal world inside my mind


I try to recreate the image in my head
I attempt to bring to life the vision in my imagination


It's all I see
The vision in my head is the only reality for me


But the flaws are all that's left
The mistakes and imperfections in my creation are the only tangible aspects


All our lives
Throughout our existence


We just keep searching for what does not exist
We endlessly seek something that is not real


When will I
At what point in time will I


Be willing to finally admit
Accept the fact once and for all


It's not real
That what I am looking for does not have a concrete existence


It's tempting to predict the future but it's futile all the same
Although alluring to forecast the future, it is worthless in equal measure


The past is all we have
The only thing we have accessible is the past


And every time I try to replicate the signals in my brain
Every time I endeavor to recreate the thought or emotions in my head


The flaws are all that's left
Only the mistakes and weaknesses are evident


What am I doing?
What action am I undertaking?


Why am I trying to forget you, oh?
Why am I making an attempt to erase you from my mind, oh?


All our lives
Throughout our existence


We just keep searching for what does not exist
We endlessly seek something that is not real


When will I
At what point in time will I


Be willing to finally admit
Accept the fact once and for all


It's not real
That what I am looking for does not have a concrete existence

[Verse 1]
Driven by fantasy
How do I get back to it once again
But the dream is all I have

I try to recreate the image
In my head it's all I see
But the flaws are all that's left

[Chorus]
All our lives
We just keep searching
For what does not exist
When will I
Be willing to finally admit
It's not real

[Verse 1]
It's tempting to predict
The future but it's futile all the same
The past is all we have

And every time I try to
Replicate the signals in my brain
The flaws are all that's left

[Chorus]
All our lives
We just keep searching
For what does not exist
When will I
Be willing to finally admit
It's not real

[Bridge]
What am I doing?
Why am I trying to forget you?

[Chorus]
All our lives
We just keep searching
For what does not exist
When will I
Be willing to finally admit
It's not real

Lyralex-

It's pure magic because the beats aren't crazy, the riffs and melodies aren't complex, it's all pretty basic BUT it sounds so f'n fresh AND classic at the same time. My mind is boggled at how GOOD it is! Magic.

schmoborama

I thought the same thing - I've never cared for this kind of music but these tunes and the ring in her voice are making me enjoy almost every song of theirs.

Liam Porter

Yeah for me I like how melodious/singable all her music is.

Mr. Anderson

Damn you capture my thoughts I'm so in love with her

Buff Barnaby

I wanted to say that too, but didn't have the words to say it. You nailed it.

Aurélien Sooukian

Well said! Less is more :)
