about

“Something Real” allows people to sympathize with the feeling of never being good enough for anything or anyone. At the start, we remind you of simple times where we were nothing but an innocent minded child. The soundscape then morphs into a self loathing vibe which later spirals into anger and frustration until finally finding solace after the storm has ended. Our song tells the familiar story of a pure person being corrupted by judgement which may ultimately lead to the downfall of all their hope.

lyrics

Back to a time where my heart was worn on my sleeve
I was shaken by judgement, the hate was engraved in me
The scars that I wear are the stories that I can’t erase
My heart is still beating far past the point where I break

And I pushed it all away, I’m sick of playing games
(Sick of playing games)
Will this ever change, these thoughts in my head

(Could it be worth)
Could it be, could it be worth something real
Can I make it all okay
Can my heart forget to feel, cus’ my mind is filled with hate
I’m not good enough, I’m not strong enough, am I the one to blame
Can I be myself, cus’ there’s nothing else in this lonely head of shame

Every days the same, I’m a slowly fading flame
Will this be my fate
Will I be okay (Will I be okay)

I’m lost and I'm hopeless, these fears slowly growing
I wanna say something but my words are frozen
I can’t help believing that my minds deceiving
I’m more than they’re saying but there’s no escaping
(There’s no escaping)

Could it be, could it be worth something real
Can I make it all okay
Can my heart forget to feel, cus’ my mind is filled with hate
I’m not good enough, I’m not strong enough, am I the one to blame
Can I be myself, cus’ there’s nothing else in this lonely head of shame

Could it be, could it be worth something real
Can I make it all okay
Can my heart forget to feel...
I’m not good enough, I’m not strong enough, am I the one to blame?
Can I be myself, cus’ there’s nothing else in this lonely head of shame
In this lonely head of shame
