Tom Odell/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost like some forgotten dream
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you
Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all they really were doing
Don't need to be alone
Don't need to be alone
It's real love
It's real
It's real love
It's real, oh
It's real love
It's real
It's real love
It's real
It's real love
It's real
It's real love
It's real
It's real love
It's real
It's real love
It's real love
The lyrics of Tom Odell's song Real Love depict a sense of longing and waiting for a meaningful connection. The first verse describes the futility of making plans and chasing after fleeting desires that ultimately end up feeling like a forgotten dream. The line "Seems like all I really was doing was waiting for you" conveys the idea that the singer's life lacked direction and purpose until the moment he discovers love. The use of the word "you" is ambiguous, making it unclear whether he is addressing a specific person or the concept of love in general.
The second verse draws a parallel between the singer's experience and that of little girls and boys. The imagery of children playing with their toys highlights the innocence and purity of love that is often lost as we grow older. The repeated phrase "Seems like all they really were doing was waiting for love" reinforces the notion that love is the ultimate goal and provides a sense of fulfillment.
The chorus repeats the phrase "It's real love" multiple times, emphasizing the authenticity and significance of the connection. The lines "Don't need to be alone" further suggest that the singer feels complete and fulfilled in the presence of love. Overall, Real Love is a heartfelt and relatable exploration of the joys and struggles of romantic love.
