So Real
Silent Gloves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I met you on a sweet escape
Right in the summer sun
And the crashing waves
And you came to me as if to say
I promise you I'll stay
A bitter love we won't forget
And we play the games we won't regret
I said I promise you I'll stay
So Real, you're the only dream I've ever wanted
Your touch is pure emotion, Hey
No, So Real, you're the only one I've ever needed
Sinking into your ocean, Hey
2
I feel the heat inside my hand
And we walked side by side on the open land
I watched you trace a heart in the sand
As if to promise me you'll stay
Summer nights, stay out late
Oh we could've been something great
But I woke up in a world of gray
Now in my dream you'll stay
Now in my dream you'll stay
In my dream you'll stay
Now in my dream you'll stay
In my dreams you'll stay
Solo + Vocals
I said I promise you I'll stay
x 2
You're so real, but only in my dreams
And baby I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up, baby
I don't want to wake up from this dream

I met you on a sweet escape
We had a pleasant encounter while getting away from our daily routine
Right in the summer sun
During the hottest season of the year
And the crashing waves
We were near the sea
And you came to me as if to say
You approached me with words or actions that showed your intention
I promise you I'll stay
You assured me of your presence
So Real, you're the only dream I've ever wanted
You're my highest aspiration
Your touch is pure emotion, Hey
The feeling of your contact carries intense emotions
No, So Real, you're the only one I've ever needed
You're the only person I require in my life
Sinking into your ocean, Hey
I'm submerging myself in your essence
I feel the heat inside my hand
My hand is warm due to the proximity to yours
And we walked side by side on the open land
We strolled together in a vast space
I watched you trace a heart in the sand
I saw you drawing a symbol in the beach sand
As if to promise me you'll stay
It seemed like you were giving me an assurance that you'll remain with me
Summer nights, stay out late
We spent long evenings enjoying summer moments
Oh we could've been something great
We had the potential to become an excellent match
But I woke up in a world of gray
I realized that our connection was ephemeral
Now in my dream you'll stay
You exist only in my subconscious
In my dream you'll stay
I'll hold on to your representation in my imagination
Now in my dream you'll stay
I'll keep you alive in my fantasies
In my dreams you'll stay
I'll maintain the illusion of our bond in my sleeping mind
I said I promise you I'll stay
I had made an assurance to you
You're so real, but only in my dreams
You're vivid in my fantasy, but non-existent in real-life
And baby I don't wanna wake up
I don't want to abandon the fantasy
I don't wanna wake up, baby
I don't desire to face the reality
I don't want to wake up from this dream
I want to linger in the fantasy world

One of my first synth track I remember back in 2017! Such a masterpiece, I'm 46 and felt like I was 16 again with this one it was magic! 80s, high school, swimming, too scared to talk to girls, nintendo!

@Eureka Senna Cheers! Hard to believe this was almost ten years ago. If I had one thing to do over, I'd remove the chorus from the bass.

I wish the movie industry would make more films that pay homage to the 80's with soundtracks like this(same way they did with Drive).
