Real to Me Lyrics
Showbiz dinners and the free champagne,
Men in suits who think they know it all,
No-one knows me but they know my name
That's not real to me,
Hotel lobby to the aeroplane,
Another country but they start to look the same
Watch the world behind a window pane
That's not real to me,
When I see my babies run,
When all the madness has been and gone,
I'll raise my family and live in peace
Now that's what's real to me
Real to me
Dying flowers in a dressing room
A dangerous time to let your head make up it's own mind
Got me thinking that the spirits flown
That's not real to me,
When I see my babies run,
When all the madness has been and gone,
I'll raise my family and live in peace
Now that's what's real to me
Picnics in the garden
And the children they can play
The first day of the summer
And I laze here all the day
Then we'll invite the family round
And drink some English tea
Then I raise up my finger
And watch football on TV
Yeah..ohh..
Now that's what's real to me
When I see my babies run,
When all the madness has been and gone,
I'll raise my family and live in peace
Now that's what's real to me
That's what's real to me
Real to me
Wake up you might be dreaming
Wake up you might be dreaming, now
Meaning of Real to Me
“Real to Me” is a poignant reflection on the superficiality of fame and the yearning for genuine connection. Brian McFadden expresses disillusionment with the manufactured world of showbiz – extravagant displays, empty accolades, and fleeting encounters that ultimately lack substance. The lyrics depict a desire to escape this artificial existence, symbolized by contrasting images like hotel lobbies versus aeroplane journeys, highlighting a sense of detachment. However, the core message revolves around finding “real” meaning in simple, domestic joys: watching children play, sharing family moments, and enjoying everyday pleasures. The repeated refrain, "Now that's what’s real to me,” underscores this shift towards valuing authentic relationships and a peaceful life centered on love and family – a stark contrast to the fleeting glamour he’s experienced. Ultimately, it’s an invitation to awaken from a deceptive dream and embrace true happiness.
