Unreal
I´ll NIño Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Overcome in time
I'm taking what is mine
Tenemos que pelear
Nothing is all, I thought I was there
I'm finding myself going nowhere
Is this a mistake?
Is this what I get for learning to speak?
For opening eyes and digging in deep?
Is this what I get for being reborn from the norm?
I don't want to shine; light will make us blind
I don't want to feel unreal
What have I become, born under the sun?
Planets will converge for you.
I'll try to break you!
I'll try to break you!
I'll try to break you!
What would it take to not look away?
To open my eyes and stare in the face
To learn from what's real
I'm trying to deal, but it's worthless:
Is this what I get for learning to speak?
For opening eyes and digging in deep?
Is this what I get for being reborn from the norm?
I don't want to shine; light will make us blind
I don't want to feel unreal
What have I become, born under the sun?
Planets will converge for you
Pushing and grinding is twisting my mind frame
El tempo que pesa nos tumba la mesa
why ahora que es nuestro, mi vida te apuesto,
bet my life!
I don't want to shine; light will make us blind
I don't want to feel unreal
What have I become, born under the sun?
Planets will converge for you
I don't want to feel!
I don't want to feel!
I don't want to feel!
Unreal
The lyrics to "Unreal" by Ill Niño are about the struggle to maintain authenticity in a society that often values superficiality and conformity. The first verse speaks of "taking what is mine," suggesting a desire for individuality and personal power. The next lines, "Nothing is all, I thought I was there / I'm finding myself going nowhere," express disappointment and confusion at the realization that perhaps this pursuit of individuality has not led to any kind of fulfillment. The chorus asserts a rejection of the societal pressure to be seen as successful or desirable ("I don't want to shine; light will make us blind") and a desire to be true to oneself. The repeated line "Is this what I get for learning to speak?" highlights the frustration of feeling like speaking out and speaking truthfully has not brought about the desired result.
The second verse adds to this theme with its discussion of "what would it take to not look away" and to "learn from what's real." The line "Pushing and grinding is twisting my mind frame" suggests that the pressure to succeed in society, to conform and climb the ladder, is psychologically damaging or exhausting. The song concludes with another repetition of the chorus and the phrase "I don't want to feel," which can be read as a rejection of the superficiality and emptiness of the status quo.

they played a gig about 10 years ago in a small local rock club in my small UK town, there were only around 30 - 40 people in the audience, and these guys played like they were playing to a crowd of 500, true pro's and put on an amazing gig. After the gig they hung out with everyone and were super cool, was one of the most memorable gigs I ever went to, a great band! Much respect for them after that night!
