Real Time
The Jetzons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please don't think aloud there's something the matter
Why why why
Why why why
Found a life that is, it no longer matters
There's nothing left when you get what you're after
Why why why
First time last time, I'm on real time
This time that time, its always the same
When you see her she know's what you're after
Please don't think aloud there's something the matter
Why why why
Why why why
First time last time, I'm on real time
This time that time, it's always the same
The lyrics to The Jetzons' song "Real Time" seem to be about the fleeting nature of life and the futility of always striving for something. The opening lines suggest that there is a woman who understands what the singer is seeking but asks him not to vocalize it as if there is some kind of unspoken agreement between them. The repetition of "why why why" could be interpreted as asking why we constantly seek things that ultimately do not matter.
The next stanza continues this theme, as the singer has found a life that no longer matters once he has gotten what he was after. This could be interpreted as a commentary on consumerism and the neverending cycle of wanting more and more without ever being satisfied. The repetition of "why why why" emphasizes the futility of this pursuit.
The chorus reinforces the idea that time is fleeting and that the present moment is all we have. The repetition of "first time last time" emphasizes the transience of life, and the notion that "it's always the same" suggests that we should make the most of every moment rather than constantly seeking something else.
Overall, the lyrics to "Real Time" could be seen as a call to live in the present moment and appreciate what we have rather than constantly chasing after the next thing.
Line by Line Meaning
When you see her she knows what you're after
She is aware of your intentions as soon as she lays eyes on you
Please don't think aloud there's something the matter
Your innermost thoughts may betray what you're feeling
Why why why
Questions without answers can be frustrating
Found a life that is, it no longer matters
This new life has replaced the old one, rendering it insignificant
There's nothing left when you get what you're after
Achievement or realization of a goal leaves you feeling empty
First time last time, I'm on real time
This is my first and last chance to seize the moment, I must act now
This time that time, it's always the same
Time may pass but events remain consistent or expected

on I Love You
This isn’t the right song. These are the lyrics to the song “You”, not the song “I Love You”. They have different lyrics with a different meaning and tone. I can’t find the real lyrics to “I Love You” anywhere! It’s always the lyrics to “You” instead.
