Grimes - REALiTi Lyrics






[Verse 1:]
When we were young, we used to live so close to it
And we were scared and we were beautiful
And when I peered over the edge and seen death, if we are always the same

Oh, and I feel that nothing in life could ever be like this again
'Cause your love kept me alive and made me insane

[Pre-chorus:]
There were moments when it seemed okay
(But I go back alone)
To this moment away, where do you stay?
(I go back alone)
There was a time when the music would play

[Chorus 2x:]
Oh, baby, every morning there are mountains to climb
Taking all my time
Oh, when I get up, this is what I see
Welcome to reality

[Verse 2:]
When we were young, we used to live so close to it
And we were scared that you were beautiful
And when I peered over the edge and seen death, if we are always the same

[Pre-chorus:]
There were moments when it seemed okay
(But I go back alone)
To this moment away, or where do you stay?
(I go back alone)

[Chorus 2x:]
Oh, baby, every morning there are mountains to climb
Taking all my time
Oh, when I get up, this is what I see
Welcome to reality

[Outro:]
Oh, baby, every
(Give me a sign)
Oh, baby, every [2x]
(Give me a sign)
Oh, baby, every
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
(Give me a sign)
Oh, baby, every
(Give me a sign)
Oh, baby, every
(Give me a sign)
Oh, baby, every
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, baby, every [2x]
(Give me a sign)
Oh, baby, every

  33. J.... G....

    I've been a fan since "Oblivion" first came out like 11 years ago. I really love the way Grimes music has developed. 😊

  34. T.... V....

    This song makes me feel young and carefree again. But I also get sick with the feeling of nostalgia and longing for the past. Amazed this song has that power over me

  35. p.... s....

    is that gdragon at 2:28 and 2:35??

  36. B.... D....

    If your billionaire ass actually knows about the pandemic coming and your playfully posting all this end of the world shit with the new album. I honestly hope you have a fucking miscarriage you drugged up bitch.

    B.... D....

    What is wrong with you? Get help!

    B.... D....

    jeez dude i hate elon too but thats cold.

    B.... D....

  51. S.... i....

    Realitesa

  52. H.... C....

    I am Elon Musk and I approve it. I am down her rabbit hole

  53. J.... V....

    Elon introduced me to Grimes. Now I can't get enough.

  54. Y.... K....

    even Grimes' left overs are awesomely good

  55. W.... A....

    Smooth sounds. Mmmmm

  56. S.... i....

    'Ē is Ven

  57. M.... G....

    Sounds like a GTA 3 song

  58. S.... ....

    Me: This is my favorite song by Grimes.
    Grimes: This is garbage.
    Me: *sad noises*

    S.... ....

    What's even weirder is that this song.. It's nothing special. I don't get the views.. Bots?

    S.... ....

    It really is

    S.... ....

    yeah she butchered it on art angels and thinks she "fixed it"

    S.... ....

    @Mindphaser it usually go that way with artists.
    as time passes you know what you improved on and its kinda weird going back to past work.
    I'm a 3d character artist and yes I too hate some jobs i did 5-6 years ago. i look at them and sometimes wonder wtf is that and why did this shit was bought

    S.... ....

    Yep, she should drop her range more often. Great musicality.

  59. f.... ....

    I didn´t know this chick until 1/2 hour ago and was thru her relationship with Musk and in the 1st seconds I was hooked

  60. L.... A....

    *"but it was poorly recorded in the first place and never meant to be heard by anyone"*
    Alright, we prefer REALiTi anyway.

  61. j.... b....

    Elon musk was already the luckiest guy on earth... No fair!! 😅

  62. J.... Z....

    Love You Claire🙂💖

  63. s.... s....

    Musk wasn't happy with his billions. He had to have the most beautiful woman in the world as well.

  64. L.... W....

    Imagine dancing with her in a club

  65. A.... R....

    Doing acid to grimes is so amazing wow

  66. J.... M....

    A loucura da Grimes bate com a minha

  67. E.... ....

    I like some of your music and you have one or two truly amazing songs (this is coming from someone who grew up on 90s music) and a lot of whats in your music I can relate to in terms of an emotional translation. However, I do find you put yourself in your videos a bit too much and end up doing the same thing and if I'm honest it's really off the mark in this video - just a minor critique but for some reason an annoying one.

  68. T.... ....

    Man shes got one of those annoying mouths that looks like she has a bad lisp

    T.... ....

    She does have a lisp LOL

    T.... ....

    @octopusballoons I Knew it I can always tell their mouths move wrong xD

  69. B.... ....

    Take a shot Everytime Grimes touches her hair.

    B.... ....

    Why do that?

    B.... ....

    @Denis L cuz if you do you'll get fucked up

    B.... ....

    can't focus on anything else now lol

    B.... ....

    duzz nozt takk zat advizzz!

  70. L.... ....

    I’m 100% sure this is the song that hooked Elon. He heard and saw this video and said to himself, “I love this free spirited angel.”
    I said the same thing to myself when I first saw this video a couple years ago. Elon has the means to make his dreams come to fruition whereas I do not. 😁
    I still listen to this video multiple times a week!

  71. V.... M....

    Im in my 40's i power walk and dance to this song everyday 😊

  72. E.... T....

    Fucking computer voice singers.

  73. E.... G....

    Sheeeeeet, can't stop listening dat masterpiece

  74. L.... G....

    Good running music.

  75. G.... F....

    Your music is fucking trash

    G.... F....

    Someone here is allegedly deaf.

  76. J.... Y....

    so GOOD .

  77. B.... O....

    Congratulations on your pregnancy Claire. We love you spatially

    B.... O....

    Mrs. Funk yup with Elon’s kid

    B.... O....

    who the f you calling claire this is Grimes ...

    B.... O....

    UnrecycleRubdish bruh her name is Claire, did you actually think that her parents named her grimes?

  78. l.... ....

    Her dance moves makes me cringe....

  79. C.... G....

    Hear this in my head every day

  80. n.... ....

    the way it came out, it's a magic first take.

  81. J.... C....

    How come I can't find you on amazon music? I really like this song and would like to add it to my playlist.

    J.... C....

    Wait, Never mind. I found it

  82. A.... A....

    The Nerve movie vibe and Carly Rae's Emotion album vibe combined. Favourite

  83. O.... B....

    Finally realized what sounded so familiar and that's the part where i'm pretty sure she took a little sample from Blondie. I'll let you find it if you even know who Blondie is if not look her up. Love your music and your energy!

  84. J.... L....

    this leather jacket grimes and the boujee airplane grimes from world princess are my favorite grimes.

  85. N.... ....

    can anyone link me to a playlist with similar style music?

    N.... ....

    Kalandra song is called The Waiting Game

  86. C.... C....

    There's songs that stick with you over the years. Sometimes these develop into a love of the style of music. I think I will always like this song because of the moment I first really listened to it. (Also think the spontaneous vid production is great.)

  87. C.... I....

    This is the song that turned me into a grimes fan back in 2016
    Loved it then and still love it now.

  88. K.... ....

    Holy shit dood, whean I read the description i couldn't believe myself... wth was she thinking?

  89. s.... s....

    Honestly I like the album version better..

    s.... s....

    This version is so much better i think

    s.... s....

    This version feels distorted and sadder

    s.... s....

    I just wanted to say that maybe the reason I like the album version better because it is the first version that I heard

  90. A.... G....

    Who in 2020?

  91. D.... ....

    I love when her hair bounces

  92. [.... ....

    Love her hair oml

  93. T.... T....

    I can't believe it's almost 5 years of this song

  94. P.... R....

    The year is 2020, but this song feels like yesterday, what a masterpiece

    P.... R....

    but yesterday's also 2020

    P.... R....

    William Fugerer 😂😂😂😂 u roasted kyashi san

    P.... R....

    Correct.

  95. Z.... ....

    my song jumping into 2020.
    fuck yeah

  96. v.... ....

    one of my favorite songs

  97. D.... ....

    I love how this has a completely different beat from the album version but it creeps in slowly at around 1:13
