Picture on a Screen Lyrics
I am unreal
I am unreal
Ow! I’m playing in a TV show
but people think I’m real you know
They even write to me I say
It seems to be like contact in the head
Picture on a screen
That’s the only thing you’ve ever seen
Now maybe you would like to talk to me
I’m still a picture on a screen
You’re talking at me, never to me
In living colour, you can see
The image of your dreams
I will be your fantasy
Picture on a screen
That’s the only thing you’ve ever seen
Now maybe you would like to talk to me
I’m still a picture on a screen
I am unreal
I am unreal
You think you know me, but you don’t
Could forget me, but you won’t
I am the shadow in your eyes
I cannot feel your lies
Picture on a screen
That’s the only thing you’ve ever seen
Now maybe you would like to talk to me
I’m still a picture on a screen
I am unreal
but people think I’m real you know
They even write to me I say
It seems to be like contact in the head
That’s the only thing you’ve ever seen
Now maybe you would like to talk to me
I’m still a picture on a screen
In living colour, you can see
The image of your dreams
I will be your fantasy
That’s the only thing you’ve ever seen
Now maybe you would like to talk to me
I’m still a picture on a screen
I am unreal
You think you know me, but you don’t
Could forget me, but you won’t
I am the shadow in your eyes
I cannot feel your lies
That’s the only thing you’ve ever seen
Now maybe you would like to talk to me
I’m still a picture on a screen

This song is about reality in television, or more accurately, the actors' lives and performances they play which mask their real selves. People in shows, movies, on the news, or in any other way are putting on a face for the screen. They aren't always that person, however, and after the camera shuts off they switch to their real face. It's all a lie, a facade of a happy or positive life.
