Real Love Lyrics
The dawn in all its majesty
Is stealing me away
The dawn in all its honesty
Is turning me to clay
And through the bars of iron rain
Way beyond and back again
I hear the voice of eden cry
Lift me up I'm walking on high
It's real love
Real love
This world in all its clarity
Is glorious, is fake
This world in all its vanity
Is more than i can take
And down the road the iron wheels
Chain my heart to how it feels
I hear the voice of eden cry
Lift me up I'm walking on high
It's real love
Real love
It's real love
Real love
Make it real, make it real
Real love now
Something in the heart of me
Is telling me it's time
To meet the eye of destiny
And leave it all behind
And through my bones an iron rage
Paints my soul upon the page
I hear the voice of eden cry
Lift me up to walk on high
Make me want to lay down and die
It's real love
Real love
Real love
Real love
The dawn in all its majesty
Is stealing me away
Is stealing me away
The dawn in all its honesty
Is turning me to clay
And through the bars of iron rain
Way beyond and back again
I hear the voice of eden cry
Lift me up I'm walking on high
It's real love
Real love
Is glorious, is fake
This world in all its vanity
Is more than i can take
And down the road the iron wheels
Chain my heart to how it feels
I hear the voice of eden cry
Lift me up I'm walking on high
It's real love
Real love
It's real love
Real love
Make it real, make it real
Is telling me it's time
To meet the eye of destiny
And leave it all behind
And through my bones an iron rage
Paints my soul upon the page
I hear the voice of eden cry
Lift me up to walk on high
Make me want to lay down and die
It's real love
Real love
Real love
Real love
Is stealing me away

This is a great song about realizing you are in love. Finally coming to accept that what you have is something real. He wakes up one morning and sees the dawn coming up and overflows. He finally appreciates what he has.
Something inside him is telling him that it's time he went ahead and stopped being afraid. It's just the very simple, very beautiful story, of that moment of realization.
I think that this song is realizing he wants more than love, Real Love He wants something that is not fake as world is. He wants something eternal, incorruptable, unchanging. He says he is bound to this world and all it's feelings but he wants more. He then refers to Eden which I think shows that he is in a more religious mindset than romantice.
I agree...of course there is a dual meaning, depending on the listener..but for me,the only real love is not of this "fake world"...whatever the meaning of Davids prose in this song, real love is so awesome, whether its romantical or a Love of the higher order.
