Real Life
Madyon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake me, give me life
And together we will reach the top and crave the night
Save me, from morning light
And we'll never be defeated, it's not the way we fight

Because they never realized
We gained a real life
We're not the prisoners of tomorrow

Every sundown we chase
Sets us free from the chains

Because they never realized
We gained a real life
It's not a thing that we have tried to borrow
Make your sounds loud and clear
There's no need now to fear

Aching, come alive
And whenever you will need me I'll be right by your side
Save me, hold me tight
And together we'll be free, we've flown away tonight

Because they never realized
We gained a real life
We're not the prisoners of tomorrow
Every sundown we chase
Sets us free from the chains

Because they never realized
We gained a real life
It's not a thing that we have tried to borrow

Make your sounds loud and clear
There's no need now to fear
