Is It Real
LIZ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I like it
When I see you in the street
I like it better
When you're sitting next to me
Got me feeling oooh ooh baby
Got me singing oooh ooh baby
Is this love
Is it love
Is this love
Is it love, is it love
Is this love
Is it love
Is this love
Is it love, is it love
Sunshine in the morning baby
You're my warmth in the night
Don't wake me out my sleep now honey
'Cause I'm dreaming you're mine
Oooh ooh baby
Got me singing oooh ooh baby
Is this love
Is it love
Is this love
Is it love, is it love
Is this love
Is it love
Is this love
Is it love, is it love
Sweet talking in the late night baby
Always got you on my mind
It's me and you against the world now sugar
It's a real good time
Is this love
Is it love
Is this love
Is it love, is it love
Is this love
Is it love




Is this love
Is it love, is it love

Overall Meaning

In the first verse of LIZ’s song “Is It Real,” she describes a feeling of being taken by the sound of her own heart. She’s very aching for a promise to be true, but she’s fallen like the dark before the morning without a warning. It's as though she’s tangled in someone’s web, caught in their allure. The second verse continues along the same lines, with LIZ comparing herself to the waves out in the ocean, breaking with the weight of her indecision. She now realizes that although she should have heard words unspoken before, she's found herself again waiting for a love that won’t feel wasted.


Despite the urge to lie and pretend that what they have is real, LIZ is determined to be honest about her feelings. She admits that it feels like being actors on a stage, as if they're just pretending to be in love, and so she suggests they call it what it is. The chorus repeats this idea, that they need to stop pretending and confess that their relationship is not working. LIZ sings about how hard she tried, but that ultimately they need to accept that what they have isn’t real.


Overall, "Is It Real" is a song about someone who has been caught in a web of false promises, pretending that their love is real when they know it isn’t. They're struggling with the feeling that they're putting all of their efforts into something that will never fully be true, and so they want to break free from this cycle of deceit and desperation.
