Reality
Sick&Wired Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

What would make a man want to leave his life
To go out into the world with the risk to die
I don't know, but it scares the shit out of me
So scared and alone no one near me
The day has become closed
And all of my memories wave away
All of what I am or who I was
My reality slowly fades

Reality fades! Reality fades!
(It's over now)
Reality fades! Reality fades!
(I've lost who I've become)

Coming into a new shining and bright place
The sweat from before now consumes my face
I cannot think of how they've coped with this
I'm out here dying and no one gives a shit
The day has become closed
And all my memories become gray
All of what I have become
My reality slowly fades

Reality fades! Reality fades!
(It's over now)
Reality fades! Reality fades!
(I've lost who I've become)

Reality fades! Reality fades!
(It's over now)
Reality fades! Reality fades!
(I've lost who I've become)

(Please tell me what your doing
I can't handle secrecy anymore
I have lost everything already
And now it seems I'll be losing more)

I've lost all what I had!
I have become a memory!
Just a page in a scrap book!
What the hell!
IT MY CHOICE TO MAKE!

(chorus w/o music)

Reality fades! Reality fades!
(It's over now)
Reality fades! Reality fades!
(I've lost who I've become)

Reality fades! Reality fades!
(It's over now)

Reality fades! Reality fades!
(I've lost who I've become)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sick&Wired's song "Reality" speak of a man who leaves his life behind to venture out into the unknown, despite the risks involved. The singer expresses fear at the unknown aspects of such a decision, while also feeling isolated and alone. The memories of his previous life begin to fade away as he embarks on this new journey, and he questions his ability to cope with the challenges that are to come. The chorus repeats the phrase "Reality fades" to emphasize the loss of his previous identity and the uncertain future ahead.

The song seems to be speaking to the fear that many people have of taking risks and not knowing what the outcome may be. The fear of change and the unknown can be paralyzing, and the lyricist seems to be addressing this head on. The fact that the singer refers to his previous self in the past tense, indicating that he no longer identifies with that person, shows a sense of transformation and growth.
