Real Life
Wet Wet Wet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my mind, you're moving around my head
And the world I'm living in, I can't draw the line
In my mind, can't get her out of my head
There's nothing left for you to say to me
I just don't know who to be
It's killing me

She makes me feel like I've been born again
She makes me feel like I'm in real life
She makes me feel that there is nothing wrong
She makes me want to be in real life

In my mind, reality’s out of place
I'm not even sleeping
But I think I'm in a dream
In real life, in real life, in real life

Feels like a lifetime away
A moment that was lost
It's my broken feelings that lie
Abandoned in your heart

In my mind, she seems so real to me
There's just a shadow where you used to be
Now there's nothing left to see
It's killing me

She makes me feel like I've been born again
She makes me feel like I'm in real life
She makes me feel that there is nothing wrong
She makes me want to be in real life

Real life
Real life
She makes me want to be in real life




Real life
Real

Overall Meaning

"Real Life" by Wet Wet Wet is a song about a man who is lost in his thoughts and struggling to come to terms with his current situation. The lyrics depict a world that is blurry and unclear, and the singer cannot seem to separate reality from his dreams. He is haunted by a woman who has left him and is consumed by her memory. The chorus of the song is an ode to how she makes him feel alive despite his desperate state.


The lyrics are full of imagery and metaphors. The singer describes the woman who has left him as a shadow, and the world that he is living in as a dream. The use of these metaphors emphasises the disconnect that he feels to reality. The song is an emotional journey that resonates with anyone who has gone through a tough break-up.

[Verse 1]
I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me
And so the feeling grows
It's written on the wind
It's everywhere I go, oh yes, it is
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show, oh

[Chorus]
You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the
Way that I feel
There's no beginning
There'll be no end
'Cause on my love you can depend

[Verse 2]
I see your face before me
As I lay on my bed
I kinda get to thinking
Of all the things you said, oh yes, I did
You gave your promise to me
And I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me
In everything I do, oh yes, I do

[Chorus]
You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the
Way that I feel
There's no beginning
There'll be no end
'Cause on my love you can depend

[Interlude]
Got to keep it moving

[Outro]
Oh It's written in the wind
Oh everywhere I go, yeah, oh well
So if you really love me, love me, love me
Come on and let it show, oh
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it
Come on and let it (Come and let it show, baby)
Come on, come on, come on, let it show, baby
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show, baby
Come on and let it show
