| − | '''Real Life''' is a song | + | '''Real Life''' is a song that plays during the end credits in [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter]]. Written by David J Franco, performed By Melissa Clarke.<!-- I believe this would be better left to individual interpretation. |
| + | == Analysis == | ||
| + | The song is sung from both points of view of a boy and girl (or man and woman) imagining each other in dreams (drawing inside your own mind), then trying to find each other in real life (it's not easy, of course), and they are ultimately successful. | ||
| − | + | She's lucid-dreaming (knowing you're dreaming and controlling your dreams) of her true love and the return to the reality of not having him is making her sad, causing her to say, in resignation: "Make-believe... He'll hide forever. This is real life." | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Notice how Melissa's pace and wording changes. That's his internal monologue as trying to keep his composure. | |
| + | |||
| + | He's stuck in the same situation, telling himself: "Paint your world full of tones. Write the story so you know how it goes." She comes back in at "But my heart's alone." | ||
| + | |||
| + | He comes back in at "Take a deep breath, go for a walk" he's basically firing an emergency flare by "I'm pouring my heart and I'm spilling my soul". | ||
| + | |||
| + | She comes back "And I'm gasping for air 'cause he's (he has) given it all". | ||
| + | |||
| + | The second set of "I'm just trying to survive" background vocals is both of them. They're trying to find each other in real life. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The final verse is basically a duet. Melissa's voice is "her". The background vocalists are "him". | ||
