Real Life
Mako feat. Morgan Page Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Picked up the whole thing yesterday
I tried to make it on my own here
It gets a little lonely way down here
But my father told me, "Son, stand up tall, the world is too crowded to live without love"
And that's when she walked right through my front door
Like some kind of magic and she's got me asking:
Is this really real life?
Is this really real life?
Is this really real life?
Last night I wrote my own confession
Counted up my blessings from today
You got anything to slow my beat at night?
Its just a little hard to believe you're here
And my father told me, "Son, stand up tall, the world is too crowded to live without love"
And that's when she walked right through my front door
Like some kind of magic and she's got me asking:
Is this really real life?
Is this really real life?
Is this really real life?
Is it coming from nowhere?
I'm worn out at night things
She told me she don't care
She told me she loved me
You can't buy the sunset
A kiss on the door step
Making a young man keep asking all night
Is this really real life?
Is this really real life?
Is this really real life?
The lyrics for Mako feat. Morgan Page's song "Real Life" are a reflection on the apprehensions and uncertainties of being in a relationship that seems too good to be true. The singer of the song acknowledges that he packed up his belongings to start a new life, but as he tries to make a new start, he is plagued by loneliness. It's at this point that his father steps in, providing wisdom that helps him to overcome his hesitations about the world's demands for love. When the singer meets the woman at his front door, he wonders if this is really reality given how enchanted he is by this new-found love.
This song reflects the awe and amazement inspired by finding love that surpasses all expectations. The lyrics point to the confusion, doubt, and temporary discomfort one may encounter when transitioning between stages of life. Ultimately, the message suggests that the power of love can override the barriers that seem to hold us back. It's a human reminder that everyone deserves a chance at love, and every heart should be given the opportunity to beat in unison with another.

Last night I packed up all my clothing
Yesterday, I gathered all my clothes and put them in bags
Picked up the whole thing yesterday
I took everything with me when I left
I tried to make it on my own here
I attempted to do things by myself in this new place
It gets a little lonely way down here
I feel a bit isolated in this unfamiliar place
But my father told me, "Son, stand up tall, the world is too crowded to live without love"
My dad advised me to be strong because love is necessary in this crowded world
And that's when she walked right through my front door
And then she appeared before me as if by magic
Like some kind of magic and she's got me asking:
It was so enchanting and she's made me question:
Is this really real life?
Is this actually happening in my life?
Last night I wrote my own confession
I wrote down my feelings in a personal statement
Counted up my blessings from today
I reflected on the good things that happened to me today
You got anything to slow my beat at night?
Do you have anything to help me calm down at night?
Its just a little hard to believe you're here
It's difficult to accept that you are actually with me
Is it coming from nowhere?
Is this happening randomly, out of nowhere?
I'm worn out at night things
I'm tired from all the things at night
She told me she don't care
She said she doesn't mind
She told me she loved me
She confessed her love to me
You can't buy the sunset
You can't purchase a beautiful sunset
A kiss on the door step
A sweet kiss on the doorstep
Making a young man keep asking all night
Keeping a young man in wonderment all night
Is this really real life?
Is this actually happening in my life?
