Real
Yasmin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I
Were so in love
Nothing could ever come between us
But me and you
We're so confused
And now we're left in broken pieces
I know that the faster you rise is
Harder to fall.

Now we don't care it all
You and I
Just can't be free
Now all I know is that we used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real

You and I
We're far too young
Thought we knew what we were feeling
But me and you
We hadn't
And now we lost and have no meaning
We know we need to let go
It's the end of the road, don't go back
We can get by on our own.

You and I
Just can't be freed
All I know is that we used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be so real
Ain't no happy ending
We were living like pretending
No answer to a question
We are just too far go remember
We had everything
We were so pathetic

But now we are the lack that we used to be, heaay
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real

You and I
Were so in love
Nothing could ever come between us
But me and you
We're so confused
And now we're left in broken pieces
I know that the faster you rise, is
The harder you fall
Now we don't care it all
You and I
Just can be free
Now all I know is that we used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
Oh, real, real, real




We used to be so real
We used to be real

Overall Meaning

The song "Real" by Yasmin is about a relationship that was once strong and real, but has now fallen apart and is no longer genuine. The lyrics describe a feeling of confusion and loss after the end of a once great romance. The singer reminisces about how at one point, nothing could come between them, but now they are left in broken pieces. The chorus repeats the phrase "we used to be real" to emphasize the contrast between their current state and their past relationship.


The second verse suggests that the couple may have been too young and inexperienced to understand the depth of their feelings at the beginning of their relationship. They had everything, but they were living like pretending, and now they are just a lack of what they used to be. The decision to let go and move on is necessary to find freedom and a chance to start over on their own.


The theme of the song is relatable to anyone who has experienced a broken relationship. It is a reminder to cherish the things that matter to us and to let go of anything that no longer helps us grow. Yasmin's emotional vocals and the heartfelt lyrics make this song a moving and relatable experience for the listeners.

Our relationship didn't have a happy ending, and we were just existing while pretending to be happy. We have no solution to our problems, and we can't even remember how good things were between us. We had everything together, but now that's gone, and we're left with nothing.

Repeating the chorus, reminding us that they were once real but are now broken, unsure of themselves, and incapable of moving on from each other. They used to have something authentic, but that has vanished, leaving them feeling empty.
