Unreal
Ill 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
In "Unreal", Ill Niño captures the frustration and confusion that comes with trying to navigate through life while feeling disconnected from society. The opening lines, "Separate your mind, overcome in time, I'm taking what is mine, tenemos que pelear", set the tone for the determination and resilience needed to overcome this internal struggle. The singer grapples with the feeling of being lost and uncertain, as they try to make sense of their place in the world. The lyrics, "Nothing is all, I thought I was there, I'm finding myself going nowhere, is this a mistake?" highlight the frustration of not knowing what to do next.
The chorus expresses the desire to remain grounded in reality and avoid the temptation of letting success and fame cloud one's judgment. The repetition of "I don't want to feel unreal" emphasizes the importance of staying true to oneself and not being swayed by external influences. The bridge, "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!" showcases the struggles and challenges that come with trying to make something of oneself in a society that often doesn't recognize or value one's worth.
In summary, "Unreal" is a powerful and introspective song that speaks to the struggles of finding one's identity and purpose in life while staying true to oneself.

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!
