The Kolors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wanna know the reason why
She is just loving goodbyes
And every time you start to wonder
But every little thing you have got
Or every woman you walk by
Uoh, oh, uoh, oh, oh, oh
This whole world don't mean a thing
Now that you are gone (as I realize, as I realize, 'cause I realize)
This whole time I have been dreaming
And now you are gone (as I realize, as I realize, 'cause I realize)
Are you ever gonna realize that
You better put yourself aside
But it is a matter of time
Anyone is trying to tear down
Every little dream you have
Every one that you could ride
Uoh, oh, uoh, oh, oh, oh
Uoh, oh, uoh, oh, oh, oh
This whole world don't mean a thing
Now that you are gone (as I realize, as I realize, 'cause I realize)
This whole time I have been dreaming
And now you are gone
As I realize
As I realize
'Cause I realize
When you realize
When you realize
When you realize
As I realize
As I realize
'Cause I realize
When you realize
When you realize
When you realize
This whole world don't mean a thing
Now that you are gone (as I realize, as I realize, 'cause I realize)
This whole time I have been dreaming
And now you are gone
The lyrics of The Kolors Feat. Elisa's song Realize express the pain of losing someone who was once deeply loved. The verses confront the possibility of the person who left never realizing the depth of the loss they’ve caused. The lyrics suggest that the person left behind still loves the person who left, but they are hurt and angry that the one who left could not see how much they were valued. The line “she is just loving goodbyes” suggests that the person who left has a pattern of leaving and running away from their problems, including the person they loved.
The chorus speaks to the pain of the loss of a love that was once real, and the realization that the dream has ended. The repetition of “as I realize” emphasizes the pain of the realization that the love is gone forever. The bridge holds out hope that the one who left will come to “realize” what they have done, but it acknowledges that it may be too late to save the love that was lost. The song concludes with the sobering idea that the world no longer holds any meaning for the one left behind, who has been left to mourn and struggle with the loss of their love.
Line by Line Meaning
You are never gonna realize and
Despite your efforts, you will never understand
You wanna know the reason why
You are curious about why this is the case
She is just loving goodbyes
The subject of the song enjoys leaving relationships
And every time you start to wonder
When you consider this fact
But every little thing you have got
Despite your possessions and status
Or every woman you walk by
Or any woman you may encounter
This whole world do not mean a thing
The subject realizes that their previous worldview has shifted
Now that you are gone
Since the subject lost someone important
(As I realize, as I realize, as I realize)
This realization is taking place currently
This whole time I have been dreaming
The subject has been living in a dream-like state
And now you are gone
And now that they have lost someone, reality has hit
Are you ever gonna realize that
The subject is asking someone when they will understand
You better put yourself aside
They suggest the person put their ego aside
But it is a matter of time
But, ultimately, it will happen regardless
Anyone is trying to tear down
There are those who are looking to hurt the subject
Every little dream you have
And destroy any desires or aspirations they have
Every one that you could ride
Even the ones that the subject could turn into a reality
(When you realize, when you realize, when you realize)
The process of realizing is ongoing
This whole world do not mean a thing
The world feels empty and meaningless
Now that you are gone
The subject is still processing their loss
(As I realize, as I realize, as I realize)
They are still in the process of realization
This whole time I have been dreaming
The state of denial they were in before
And now you are gone
Is finally shattered by their loss
(As I realize, as I realize, as I realize)
Still in the process of realizing the truth
