MEMPHIS MAY FIRE
- The Reality Lyrics / with translationsThese streets are crowded with cowards disguised as men.
They are paying no consequence for their actions,
So we'll all give in.
I say the same things
Over and over and over again,
But you act like you've never heard them.
We were created to set an example.
So what is this, what is this?
This is the same old story,
This is the same old scene.
We're living our lives right out of a magazine,
I guess we'll never know!
Have we gone from little to less,
To nothing at all, nothing at all?
It seems like every soul
Has been sold for a dollar or less.
So I guess we'll never know
How good it could have been.
How good it could have been!
Savor every breath
That enters your lungs,
I promise it won't last forever.
And by the time you realize
You were wrong, you'll be far gone.
Savor every breath
That enters your lungs,
I promise it won't last forever.
And by the time you realize
You were wrong, you'll be far gone!
Follow me or back out now.
Follow me with all your heart
Or back out, back out now!
We all swim in a sea of pride,
Where character is rare.
(Where character is rare)
With every passing day,
It only gets worse
And no one seems to care.
We all die wondering what if I-
What if I would have tried?
And while you're begging for life on you knees,
You'll realize you were never happy!
Have we gone from little to less,
To nothing at all, nothing at all?
It seems like every soul
Has been sold for a dollar or less.
I guess we'll never know
How good it could have been.
The clouds begin to move in rhythm,
There is a storm in the sky.
I will cause a disaster,
Create an earthquake
And watch as you shake.
I will cause a disaster,
Watch as you shake!
We all die wondering what if I-
What if I would have tried?
What if I would have tried?
I guess we'll never know!
It seems like every soul
Has been sold for a dollar or less.
I guess we'll never know
How good it could have been.
How good it could have been!
They are paying no consequence for their actions,
So we'll all give in.
I say the same things
Over and over and over again,
But you act like you've never heard them.
We were created to set an example.
So what is this, what is this?
This is the same old story,
This is the same old scene.
We're living our lives right out of a magazine,
I guess we'll never know!
Have we gone from little to less,
To nothing at all, nothing at all?
It seems like every soul
Has been sold for a dollar or less.
So I guess we'll never know
How good it could have been.
How good it could have been!
Savor every breath
That enters your lungs,
I promise it won't last forever.
And by the time you realize
You were wrong, you'll be far gone.
Savor every breath
That enters your lungs,
I promise it won't last forever.
And by the time you realize
You were wrong, you'll be far gone!
Follow me or back out now.
Follow me with all your heart
We all swim in a sea of pride,
Where character is rare.
(Where character is rare)
With every passing day,
It only gets worse
And no one seems to care.
We all die wondering what if I-

And while you're begging for life on you knees,
You'll realize you were never happy!

How good it could have been.
The clouds begin to move in rhythm,
There is a storm in the sky.

And watch as you shake.
I will cause a disaster,
Watch as you shake!
We all die wondering what if I-
What if I would have tried?
What if I would have tried?
I guess we'll never know!
It seems like every soul
Has been sold for a dollar or less.
I guess we'll never know
How good it could have been.
How good it could have been!
Facts about The Reality
✔️
The Reality is written by Kellen Mcgregor, Matthew Mullins.
✔️
It is first released on April 25, 2011 as part of Memphis May Fire's album "The Hollow" which includes 10 tracks in total. This song is the 8th track on this album.
✔️
When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, Memphis May Fire's 'The Reality' serves as a critique of the decay of society and the very personal aspect of people getting used to the bad times, while at the same time the listeners are invited to ponder over their choices and the potential that remains unutilized, this is represented by the metaphor of the storm and earthquake as the symbols of upheaval and change. The reality lyrics mainly point to the themes scribbled over the backdrop of reflection, angst, social commentary, despair, and, hence, inspiration. Likewise, the song simultaneously hammers on the topics of hypocrisy and moral decay, regret and missed opportunities, the urgency and transience of life, and the call to action and commitment. The lyrics feature the motifs of societal decay, individual regret, and existential questioning that are typically associated with a more mature audience. Furthermore, the heavy use of such words and phrases coupled with strong imagery as 'cowards disguised as men' and 'create an earthquake' indicates the complex and serious nature of the song that might be inappropriate for younger listeners without the presence of a parent or guardian.
