Real Real Real
Jesus Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Although it sounds obscene
I will always do my best to understand
You have so many words and
Your voice is always heard but
Who can say they really understand
Real, real, real
How to feel real, real
Do you feel real and if so I'd like to know
You say you have a big love and
It really sounds like fun
If I knew what it was then I'm sure I'd like to have one
Give me a sign that you feel some emotion
Real, real, real
Do you feel real and if so I'd like to know
How to feel real, real
Do you feel real and if so I'd like to know
If there's nothing to say then
Why don't we all go away?
Real, real, real
Do you feel real and if so I'd like to know
How to feel real, real
Do you feel real and if so I'd like to know
If there's nothing to say then
Why don't we all go away?
Real, real, real
Do you feel real and if so I'd like to know
How to feel real, real
Do you feel real and if so I'd like to know
The lyrics of Jesus Jones's song "Real Real Real" describe the difficulties of communication between people. The song is about the frustration we feel when we try to understand others and ourselves. The singer expresses his desire to understand the person he is addressing, but their language is incomprehensible to him. He wants to know if they feel real, and if so, how he can feel that way too.
The singer states that he will do his best to understand, even if what the person is saying seems obscene. The person he is addressing has many words and always has their voice heard, but that doesn't mean they are truly understood. He asks them to give him a sign of emotion to show that they truly feel something. At the end of the song, he asks "If there's nothing to say, then why don't we all go away?" This line suggests that he has given up on trying to understand and that the communication has broken down entirely.
Overall, the song encapsulates the feeling of isolation that comes from being unable to truly understand someone else. The lyrics are a reflection of the difficulties we all face when trying to connect with others on a deeper level.

I was absolutely obsessed with this band. I had every cassette and a VHS tape of them playing. I would watch it everyday after school. Mike Edwards was supposed to be my husband š

Gosh I wish it was the early 90's all over again, I feel that was the last truly great era of pop music.
@JaDav40
Back then you had to pay your dues and make it at radio to be successful. Now you can just post a video and go viral.
