Unreal
Mechanical Parts Inside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What they're talking about?
The right time is now
To keep my mind out of reach
To stop being afraid
Full of doubts I close my eyes
And remember
With bitter ending
Full of fear I close my eyes
And surrender
To the storm that drowns my mind
And suspend it
Momentary thoughts
Nothing is unreal
Hooked on others' thoughts
Addictions dominate you
Tell me if it's true
Consciousness leads the way
When oblivion seems so near
The lyrics of Mechanical Parts Inside's song Unreal portrays an individual who is uncertain about their thoughts and is seeking someone to guide them. The opening lines, "Who is going to show me what they're talking about?" gives us an insight into the singer's mind, as they question their understanding of things. They feel lost and overwhelmed and believe that the "right time is now" to try and get a grip on their thoughts. The artist suggests that one needs to take control of their mind and stop being afraid if they wish to progress in life.
Further down the lyrics, the singer talks about how they have been stuck in their doubts and have taken a "lonely trip" with a "bitter ending." Here, the artist is referring to how one can get lost in their own thoughts and that it may ruin them or lead them down a dark path. They continue to talk about being afraid and how the storm "drowns" their mind, leaving them suspended in a state of indecision. The song ends with the singer questioning the notion that "nothing is unreal" and how it might be addictive to adhere to other's thoughts. The singer highlights the importance of becoming conscious of your own thoughts, especially when oblivion seems so near.

Who is going to show me
I need someone to teach me
What they're talking about?
I don't understand what they're saying
The right time is now
I need to act now
To keep my mind out of reach
I need to avoid overthinking
To stop being afraid
I need to overcome my fears
Full of doubts I close my eyes
I'm unsure and feeling lost
And remember
I think back to
The time I took a lonely trip
A time when I was alone
With bitter ending
Which ended badly
Full of fear I close my eyes
I'm scared and want to hide
And surrender
I give up control
To the storm that drowns my mind
To the chaos that confuses me
And suspend it
And let go
Momentary thoughts
Short-lived ideas
Nothing is unreal
Everything is possible
Hooked on others' thoughts
I depend on what others think
Addictions dominate you
Your habits control you
Tell me if it's true
Let me know if this applies to you
Consciousness leads the way
Being mindful guides you
When oblivion seems so near
When you feel like you're losing yourself
