Of Mice & Men - Real Lyrics






Face down, I fall to the floor
Can't say I've never been here before
So frustrating, debilitating
This emptiness there must be more

It's taking over me
I don't know what to believe
Forgetting everything
That makes me, makes me real
I find an enemy
In every word that you say
I won't let you replace
What makes me, makes me real

Start, stop, start over again
Even though you know that this will end
So frustrating, aggravating
I lost myself when I let you in

But I will find myself again
So don't you say, that you understand

It's taking over me
I don't know what to believe
Forgetting everything
That makes me, makes me real
I find an enemy
In every word that you say
I won't let you replace
What makes me, makes me real

You won't take the best of me
You won't take the best of me

Start, stop, start over again
Even though you know that everything ends

It's taking over me
I don't know what to believe
Forgetting everything
That makes me, makes me real
I find an enemy
In every word that you say
I won't let you replace
What makes me, makes me real

    This video is amazing. TO ALL Do your OWN research, and pray/talk to God before u do. Find Yeshua/Jesus He simply IS. He is The Truth, The Way, and The Light. May you find Him now. God Bless to all 🙏🙏🙏

    M.... D....

    amen brother!

    M.... D....

    Not to be the negative Nancy here, but the time I was religious was when I was the most suicidal. I saw this life as a waste and I prayed for the afterlife to be better. When I stopped believing I learned to value this life more. That's just my views though, I know the concept of a god has saved people in the past and still does.

  8. E.... ....

    2019 and still listening I love his clean vocals still🤘🏻🔥

  9. C.... B....

  11. C.... P....

    Man..... Austin Carlile sounds just like Chester Bennington. He might as well join linkin park.😲😲😲😲😲😃😃😃😃😃

  12. K.... W....

    Shit !!!

  13. A.... ....

    Austins voice in dis!!!💙

  14. S.... G....

    A.... ....

    Totally agree!!!!!

    A.... ....

    I like the idea of him joining the band. :)

  16. B.... H....

    I never would have guessed this was Of Mice and Men... ever.. it's good though!

  17. I.... ....

    Why am I just now getting into this band? Amazing vocals

  18. c.... m....

    This song goes HARD. One of my favorite songs by this band, so why are people complaining? Wtf

  19. J.... B....

    Austin is the man!!!

  20. i.... !....

    *I can relate to this song coz I let the hate in, And the depressed thoughts and then forget " What makes me real "*

  21. M.... H....

    *Love this so much " Depression took the best of me "*

  22. d.... k....

    this POP ?
    why is every metal band inconsistent with its genre or characteristic? Why? I think this song will be more frightening
    fucking bitch, you son of a bitch🖕🖕🖕🖕

  23. R.... 9....

    This song is in Drop C for anybody who plays guitar or bass.

  24. K.... ....

    Simple words, deep meaning. Love it! :)

  25. A.... T....

    Damn, Chester looks completely different in this video

  26. H.... D....

    Of Linkin & Men

  27. B.... W....

    Chester Will Be Proud 😊😊😊

  28. R.... C....

    Все люди в клипе больны марфаном? Или я чего-то не понял?

  29. J.... D....

    i love the foster care activism sign . it touches to know there is someone who cares

  30. I.... A....

    Extraño a Austin Carlile en la banda :'c

  31. K.... T....

    For a light song
    This is pretty good

  32. M.... S....

    Why the hate? That's what i dont understand. I love OM&M and i think they soumd amazing on every album. Yeah, it sucks Austin left, but I mean it was for the good of his health. Just enjoy the damn song. If not then go and listen to other bands who still rock the same heavy cords and sound.

  33. M.... R....

    This video makes me cry

  34. M.... ....

    This is not Megadeth xD

  35. N.... S....

    LOVE this song😍😍😍😍

  36. H.... G....

    Fuck this band pulls on every emotion I have

  37. I.... M....

    For me this song is pretty good and i wanna hear more like this from them, yes i really loved every single of their old songs that were pure aggression but the band changed and so should peoples opinions...nothing is permanent and change DOES occur

  38. C.... B....

    Austin sounds exactly like Chester in this song and it is downright haunting.

  39. R.... O....

    Volunteer Firefighting makes me real. Thanks OM&M

  40. D.... R....

    this sound is very good!

  41. D.... ....

    This song sounds WAY better at speed setting 1.25

  42. I.... H....

    If Linkin Park decides to move on and plan to get a new fronman, hope it'll be Austin.

  43. L.... H....

    Love and miss what Austin was. This song grabs my heart even if its not a hardcore one. Sometimes that's just what some people need

  44. U.... W....

    I can see the evolution in Cold World. Still sick.

  45. W.... i....

    I listen to some pretty hard shit, and fuckin love this song, this band. Amazing, people can find anything to bitch about OM&M \m/

  46. P.... X....

    Mechanical Engineering and Metal makes me fucking REAL!!!! XD

  47. M.... ....

    Too many people dont know or understand why they actually went "soft". Austin Carlile has marfan syndrome. Everyone he screams, it hurts his back. It got so bad he could no longer even sing without pain, so he left the band. The bassist took over as lead singer. Funny what a little research can tell you.

    M.... ....

    MrCashInTurttle they are still crushing it without Austin. And too many people didn’t know Aaron Pauley could scream🤘🏻

    M.... ....

    That and he wasn’t allowed to write the music he wanted to

  48. H.... ....

    Still love em but Will never be the same workout Austin.,....

  49. N.... M....

    idc what anyone says, AUSTINS VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND I AM BLESSED TO HAVE HEARD IT

  50. P.... M....

    is there another video?

  51. c.... B....

    Music makes me real, when i sing their songs my eyes open.

  52. M.... S....

    Pain!!! hurt!!!

  53. J.... J....

    all these shit heads probably don't know how important this song is for Austin!
    FUCK YOU GUYS...

  54. m.... s....

    Its funny to see all these negative comments coming from "true fans", on a track called Real. You completely missed the entire message of the song.

  55. f.... n....

    Aaron don't sound right to me he shouldn't of left Jamie's elsewhere

  56. I.... G....

    I would have to say the reason this album Austin is singing a lot instead of the normal screens is probably from the amount of pain his body is in every time he performs

  57. S.... ....

    Wow I'm in this

  58. T.... S....

    1:45 my cousins!!

  59. C.... V....

    one of my new favorite bands. When did I become a band loving young adult?!

  60. I.... T....

    I feel overwhelmed

    I.... T....

    I like it

  61. M.... T....

    Austin, I'm really hoping that everything will be okay with you and everyone. I hear of Mice & Men for a little while, but I like the band. I study P.E. and I'm going to be a teacher, and if I ever have any pupil of Marfan, I swear I will respect the boundaries and look for the best way to insert in class. You will continue in my prayers. God bless you. (I don't know how to speak English, and I may have written wrong).

  62. a.... s....

    of Mice & men💙

  63. I.... E....

    Its sad how I came to listen to the last song with Austin, and I had to look through the comments to see fans complaining.

  64. B.... F....

    The girl: ''What makes you real?''
    Me: *thinks about it*
    Also me: Oh shit...

  65. T.... ....

    The chorus since like a lot like Three days grace / Adam gontier dont know where all the Lp comparisons come from

  66. V.... A....

    Sounds Like Hoobastank... The Bassman voice... Is the same of voice of Doug ❤

  67. n.... b....

    I miss Austin so much

  68. c.... m....

    pablo is gay

  69. G.... G....

    Is everyone ignoring why they wrote this song?

  70. K.... B....

    I live for Austins clean vocal!

  71. A.... ....

    mate what is with the fucking hate? like this was my jam in emo phase

  72. J.... B....

    My favorite group ,i love this song

  73. J.... B....

    I've seen no comments on how beautiful the video was. I don't give a shit if you hate the sound, I'm not a fan of this song, but this was a really nice video. I respect them so much for putting this out. RIP, Cassy <3

  74. r.... ....

    i love this band but this is one of their worst songs. sounds just like three days grace. they are still awesome though. one little blunder

  75. A.... H....

    why must there be so much hate for this song, this album may not be like the older albums but that's because bands evolve. Its not disappointing because its different, if you dont like it, that's fine. then stick to the older albums.
    I do like the older albums more, but this is something new, and I like it as well.
    And Pain is a good song, why are people hating on it?

  76. A.... B....

    AUSTIN'S SINGING THOUGH ❤️❤️

  77. o.... ....

    fun fact: at 0:40 this is exactly the same heart as on the cover of _invictus,_ an album by the brilliant german metalcore band _heaven shall burn_

  78. A.... B....

    This was just before he left the band he was damaging his body of the sickness he has by bending down n screaming that why it sounds new

  79. Y.... G....

    i'm loving this nickelback track

  80. C.... D....

    I turn to aniMEEE with every word that you say!

  81. A.... W....

    Does it Djent?

  82. L.... F....

    Band turned to shit after Shayley left huh

  83. R.... N....

    This sounds like Three Days Grace to me

  84. v.... t....

    I just can't get over the fact that nobody can accept me for who I am.I just want some girl or guy that's around my age to accept me for me and that won't leave me. Look idfk if anybody can love me anymore

  85. T.... A....

    This sounds like a Cleaner version of that one song.

  86. B.... ....

    While I'm still gonna follow this band. Austin you will sorely be missed.

  87. P.... ....

    Still one of my favourite bands. Don't see what everyones big deal is here... The only downfall is that Austin can't carry on anymore. Plus people keep saying for Example that Steel Panther are the same as always and now getting boring where as these changed a little and still people aren't happy. Is no one ever satisfied? I think this album's great so far ^.^

  88. T.... B....

    i love the way Austin is clean vocal, he could scream or sing, both is awesome!

  89. B.... S....

    shut the fuck up, just enjoy the song

  90. A.... ....

    02:55 Shitting in silence... just for one moment...

  91. D.... D....

    My love for this band is just endless and huge!

  92. R.... 9....

    This song is in Drop C for anybody who plays guitar.

  93. D.... ....

    Linkin Park doesn't even sound like this anymore.

  94. T.... A....

    sTOP COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW IT SOUNDS GEEZUZ
    IF YOU WERE ACTUALLY FANS OF OM&M YOU WOULD SUPPORT THEM AND ALL THEIR SONGS
    THEY STILL HAVE MEANING

  95. A.... J....

    anyone here who is here to compassion about the softness of the song, please look past your distaste and look at the meaning in this song 💙💙 please, we can't have our fanbase fall apart because of "softer" songs

  96. I.... A....

    Why am I always finding awesome bands just as the singer or one of the key members leave

  97. B.... C....

    What the fuck is this Of mice and men?

  98. J.... D....

    of mice an women now!! slipnot shouldn't let them in knot fest any more an its not the same without shaylay but (dayshell) is kicking check them out at least one of te members is holding true
