Reality
Neville Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Even though we're apart you're still right here in my heart
Your hands are still in mine, I can still hear you whispering words divine

I can feel your warm embrace, just the thought of it puts a smile upon my face
But my imagination, whoa I said it's so strong, but reality keep assuring me I'm all alone

But now from my lips comes a song, with tears in my eyes,
'Cause now you're gone, so all your sweet talk

Even though we're apart, you're still right here in my heart
My imagination, oh I said it's so strong, but reality keeps assuring me that I'm all alone





My imagination, oh so strong, but reality keeps assuring me that I'm all alone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Neville's song, "Reality," are a poignant depiction of the struggle between imagination and reality following a separation from a loved one. The singer professes that though physically apart from their significant other, they are still present in their heart and mind. The memories of their warm embrace and whispered words of love linger and serve as a source of comfort. However, as much as the singer's imagination tries to hold on to the presence of their partner, the painful reality of their absence keeps reminding them that they are indeed alone. This is particularly reinforced in the last verse, where the singer's tears are a manifestation of the harsh reality that their loved one is no longer with them.


The song captures the emotional complexities of love, loss, and yearning. Despite the physical infirmities of distance and separation, emotional connection continues to exist, fuelled by the power of the imagination. Yet, the elusive nature of love sometimes makes it impossible to keep holding on to what is no longer there. This message is made more poignant by the soulful melody and the strength of Neville’s voice in delivering an emotive performance.


Line by Line Meaning

Even though we're apart, you're still right here in my heart
Despite our physical separation, you still hold a significant place in my heart


Your hands are still in mine
I can still feel the warmth and comfort of your touch, despite us being apart


I can still hear you whispering words divine
The memories of your sweet and loving words linger on and bring me comfort


I can feel your warm embrace
The memories of your loving embrace provide me with a sense of comfort and security


Just the thought of it puts a smile upon my face
The very idea of us being together again fills me with immense joy and happiness


But my imagination
However, my mind's ability to create vivid and powerful thoughts and images


Whoa, I said it's so strong
Is so strong that it can almost make me believe that we are still together


But reality keeps assuring me I'm all alone
But the harsh truth is that reality proves otherwise, and I am left feeling lonely and isolated


But now from my lips comes a song with tears in my eyes
But even though I feel sad and broken-hearted, I express my feelings through this song, with tears in my eyes


'Cause now you're gone, so all your sweet talk...
Because you have left, all the sweet words and promises you made to me no longer hold true


My imagination, oh, I said it's so strong
Once again, I acknowledge how powerful my imagination is


But reality keeps assuring me that I'm all alone
Despite the comfort that my imagination brings, reality serves as a painful reminder that I am truly alone without you
