Do You Really
Oscar Jerome Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I fought between my needs and my memories
It's kinda hard to be good, good, good enough for you
But it's even harder to be good enough for me, yeah
Or maybe it's just because my ego
Has been eating up my logic since the day I was born, yeah
But this shit's been fucking with my work flow
So we've come a long way since long train rides
And I'll gladly take a slice of humble pie
But beauty's in the eye of the beholder of a lion
Don't you dream it?
You say what's right, try do what's right
But do you really feel it?
You say what's right, try do what's right
But do you really feel it?
You say what's right, try do what's right
But do you really feel it?
You say what's right, try do what's right
But do you really feel it?
Quick before some time for reflection
But I mustn't let my lens be blinded by self
But I must admit that I love the attention
If a woman wants act dirty that's a choice
And a choice I will respect
Or maybe it's because my ego
Has been eating up my logic since the day I was born
But this shit's been fucking with my work flow
Had me feeling negative about the one I adore, yeah
So we've come along way since long train rides
And I'll gladly take a slice of humble pie
But beauty's in the eye of the beholder of a lion
Don't you dream it?
You say what's right, try do what's right
But do you really feel it?
You say what's right, try do what's right
But do you really feel it?
You say what's right, try do what's right
But do you really feel it?
You say what's right, try do what's right
But do you really feel it, yeah?
The song "Do You Really" by Oscar Jerome talks about the internal struggles one goes through in a relationship, trying to balance their own needs and desires with those of their partner. The singer expresses how challenging it is to live up to the expectations of their significant other while struggling with their own ego and insecurities. They question whether they truly believe and feel what they say, or if they are just saying what they think is right.
The lyrics suggest that despite the difficulties, the singer is willing to admit their faults and work towards being a better partner. They acknowledge that they have come a long way from where they started, but they still have a lot to learn. In the end, the song emphasizes the importance of being true to yourself and not just saying what you think others want to hear.
The phrase "beauty is in the eye of the beholder of a lion" is particularly interesting because it is a twist on the popular saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." It suggests that the one who is in control or has power will determine what is beautiful or acceptable.

I was in a dark dark place yeah
4 feet beneath my needs and my memories
It’s kinda hard to be good good good enough for you
But it’s even harder to be good enough for me
Maybe it’s just because my ego
Has been eating up my logic since the day I was born
But this shit’s been fucking with my work flow
Had me feeling negative about the one I adored
So we’ve come a long way since long train rides
And I’ll gladly take a slice of humble pie
But beauty’s in the eye of the beholder of a lie
Don’t you dream it
You say what’s right, try do what’s right
But do you really feel it?
You say what’s right, try do what’s right
But do you really feel it?
You say what’s right, try do what’s right
But do you really feel it?
You say what’s right, try do what’s right
But do you really feel it?
Grateful for some time for reflection
But I mustn’t let my lens be blinded by sex
But I must admit that I love the attention
And if a woman wants to act dirty that’s her choice and her choice I will respect
Maybe it’s just because my ego
Has been eating up my logic since the day I was born
But this shit’s been fucking with my work flow
Had me feeling negative about the one I adored
So we’ve come a long way since long train rides
And I’ll gladly take a slice of humble pie
But beauty’s in the eye of the beholder of a lie
Don’t you dream it
You say what’s right, try do what’s right
But do you really feel it?
You say what’s right, try do what’s right
But do you really feel it?
You say what’s right, try do what’s right
But do you really feel it?
You say what’s right, try do what’s right
