Really Here Lyrics

I noticed it when I walked out
My small white world
was closing down
I wondered, I would always wonder
Why I am always sober
and every one is loaded
and it gets old
Well I bow out now
I refuse
So what if I waver, I fall
I'll always
I will always notice
Speak up when I'm called on
Everyone gets older
Oh well
I'm not really here

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

No way, this song is much deeper than that. I believe that he is talking about how he feels like he is the only one in the whole world who is seeing everything clearly while everyone else is all confused and involved in pointless things. And he is also talking about giving into them and living an empty life with everyone else. So i guess you could take it as a straight edge song but i really think its way beyond that.

This is one of my favorite far songs. Kind of a straight edge song to me, but without saying I'm cooler. Many of the "I AM STRAIGHT EDGE!" (uh hum, earth Crisis) make it like if you aren't straight edge there is something wrong with you. Jonah doesn't do that here, he just tells a story...a story how I can often feel when I'm always sober and everyone is loaded.
