The simplicity and repetitiveness of these lyrics in Robin de Jesus's song "Real Life" highlights the overarching theme of questioning one's reality. The repetition of the phrase "Is this real life?" conveys a sense of confusion and disbelief, as the singer grapples with the authenticity of their experiences. The repetition also emphasizes the desperate need for confirmation or validation of their existence.


The lyrics can be interpreted in various ways, but they ultimately delve into the existential crisis many people go through at some point in their lives. The singer may be questioning whether the current circumstances they find themselves in are genuine or merely a dream-like illusion. This could be a result of feeling disconnected from reality, perhaps due to a lack of purpose or fulfillment.


Furthermore, the repeated question can also be seen as an expression of yearning for something more substantial and meaningful. It reflects a desire to break free from the mundane and mundane aspects of life, seeking a deeper sense of purpose and authenticity.

Would love another version cut directly from the movie. The dialouge and ticking sound makes everything much stronger!
