Powerman 5000 - Nobody's Real Lyrics






Scary monsters and super peeps
the more you dream the less you sleep
life as you know it has gone away
unbound, unwound, who's here to stay
Could you predict, could you foresee artificial by necessity
rockets and robots can save your life when you don't care about what's real it's alright

nobody's real but they're willing to let you know
nobody's real but they'll feel it tonight
nobody's real but they're willing to let you go
nobody's real but they'll feel it

nobody's real

how do you sleep with the time that's left you,
it's all been done there's no need for the rescue
so let's just get out, i swear there's no doubt,
you can't be ready cause there's nothing left to do...

Powerman 5000 Nobody's Real Comments
  1. E.... ....

    My friend found 2 CDs on the ground one time. One of them Blink 182 the other Powerman 5000. I didn't really know any of them but he gave me a choice: choose the left for Blink 182 or choose the right for Powerman 5000. I chose the cool looking red and black skulls. I'm so glad I did...but it makes me wonder what my life would've been like if i had chosen the left.

  2. S.... K....

    I just came here for BOA

  3. J.... T....

    Inspiration since 1999! <3 Powerman 5000!

  4. J.... F....

    " Essence of 90s "

  5. C.... N....

    I personally love this style by Powerman 5000. While they don't consistently offer it each album, Tonight the Stars Revolt, Anyone for Doomsday, and Builders of the Future are very fun and in this style.

  6. T.... N....

    Hi I Tyler I'm here to say
    Alright because u knew everything
    Psychicly all the way up till
    Where someone just says "alright".
    Or "yup". They always say that

  7. J.... F....

    Son!, get your head out of r2d2's ass!

  8. D.... R....

    I'm everything but a child of God. Can't have my time.foot in your ass.

  11. E.... L....

    NOBODYS REAL THE REAL TRUTH

  12. A.... X....

    This song is about the Theory of reality not being all we see and that everything we percieve as reality is in fact an illusion. Could be about not trusting people as well

    So that’s the Meaning to this song

    Powerman 5000’s Music Videos really need a Billion views they’re so Good ❤️❤️❤️

    From songmeanings.com

  13. B.... B....

    Biggest problem with this song, "NOBODY'S REAL BUT THEY AREN'T GOING TO TELL YOU..."

  14. I.... f....

    You are a hollow graphical video maker

  15. B.... W....

    I remember watching Serial Experiments Lain for the first time in 2005 and this was the first song that came to my head after it was over. Whenever I think back on the series, this song is always playing for me.

  16. q.... i....

    The new naruto movie looks great so far.

  17. D.... G....

    Why does this song apply to this world now?

  18. M.... K....

    I've always loved the Bowie reference.

    M.... K....

    Well, they really released a song about Bowie

  19. Z.... D....

    Listen to on a loop for 3 hours when I was a teenager lol

  20. Z.... S....

    Everytime I listen to this, or When Worlds Collide, I get a very strong Star Wars vibe for some odd reason.

  21. A.... B....

    Rob and Cheri are awesome to have such an awesome kids.this band is sic pick legit.yo.andy lol.p

  22. K.... P....

    i just recently watched some funhaus videos and one of em adam mentioning some Powerman 5000

    ..and i guess recommended delivered

  23. J.... A....

    Seen these guys live at a local Rock Festival. They were so good.

    J.... A....

    This was my middle school 8th grade anthem still rocking out in 2019

  24. B.... ....

    The name of the Band should be Powerman Over 9000 because he is looking like a Super Saiyan

  25. �.... �....

    keep movin i can

  26. �.... �....

    whats happanng

  27. �.... �....

    whats happing& i am work to you!!! i am russia

  28. R.... S....

    Video would have been a little better if they showed clips of all the fake ass people we encounter everyday.
    Good song though and great album. Even more appropriate for our times. This society has lost it's way and doesn't even know it's head from it's ass anymore. That's how bad it's gotten.

  29. D.... M....

    Poopy.gonna listen to some static and get my manhood back.

    D.... M....

    if it takes music to define your manhood, you won't find it at static x either

  30. j.... d....

    brink of alienation...

  31. J.... Q....

    I love your music but the pinnacle of your music was when it was sci fi based i still LOVE your music i just wish it still had the same feeling as it did in the 90s those we're the best such as When Worlds Collide and Drop the Bombshell

  32. N.... L....

    This song has been tormenting me for years in the back of my head and ive finally found it

  33. �.... �....

    Вот дали интернет в мою избушку и стало интересно а как дела у ребят сейчас-то?

  34. S.... F....

    College nostalgia for sure. Still rocks 20 years later.

  35. C.... C....

    I adored this cyberpunk style they portrayed musically and aesthetically back in 1999

    C.... C....

    They went back to the cyberpunk style at least musically, back in 2009

  36. M.... ....

    Anyone else have an Etch A Sketch Animator growing up? The intro is the same sound that toy made when doing it's 'animation'. (for those who don't know, it was a digital version of an etch a sketch that could hold multiple images, i think like 8 at once, then play them back at various FPS. Like a really low resolution black and white cartoon)

  37. P.... J....

    Nobody’s real

  38. N.... N....

    When hear this song i think of all the fake people on social media lol

  39. A.... ....

    20 years later. Revived for Area 51 raid anthem anyone?

  40. J.... S....

    I miss this band . great songs

  41. J.... H....

    The Holy God Is Real TRUST JESUS ..

  42. D.... ....

    In 2019 it is "Powerperson"

  43. R.... ....

    He looks like he went Super sayain lol

  44. H.... 9....

    1:27 Can we just take a moment to appreciate that drumming? In fact the whole song is full of great bass and drum. I'd even go so far as to say 1:36 and on is as good as anything Korn has ever done.

  45. E.... A....

    No one realizes the true message? Virtual reality, they were ahead of the time it is clear that they were not the only ones who already gave that message there were already others before but this one caught my attention for not being well known... in short it is interesting this band have my approval. Forgive my English is that I am not ;)

  46. D.... R....

    its like almost good

  47. R.... 3....

    Why is the audio so shitty on the official channel?

  48. W.... K....

    Ill see you dudes on November 5th!! SO Stoked!

  49. d.... ....

    okay, who pissed on this guys head?

  50. D.... ....

    Ahh....The late 90's. Remember how fun things were before 911?

    D.... ....

    9/11 destroyed everything. It changed all of us regardless of if we admit it or not. It took something away from us that we might never get back.

    D.... ....

    Lol Americans...

    D.... ....

    Yeah, 9/11 just completely fucked everything up!

  51. k.... ....

    Hello "Naruto"

  52. N.... G....

    Anna Farra is ugly.

  53. B.... D....

    love song

  54. A.... ....

    Billy Idol

  55. D.... H....

    Saw them live in Dallas for the 20th Anniversity, they opened with this song, and so many memories and feeling resurfaced. Was a kickass show!!!

  56. J.... V....

    Yup, the new world

  57. N.... Y....

    Where can I buy the amazing helmet o’ death?

  58. T.... C....

    2019. Yes. Still.

    T.... C....

    is powerman better than white zombie?

    T.... C....

    Depends on your preference. I like rob zombie, only because he made more albums, but powerman 5000 is still badass. I love them both. I have been a fan of both since they're 1st albums respectively.

  59. f.... g....

    Seth green has a band?

  60. F.... G....

    I love this song

  61. K.... M....

    They where in Kingsburg Ca at Smokehouse and it was awesome man!!!!

  62. �.... �....

    Fun fact: Vocalist is Rob Zombie's brother

    �.... �....

    You can definitely tell

  63. D.... R....

    F$%*&*n Awesome Song! I'll Love It For The Rest Of My Life.

  64. �.... �....

    как же давно я это не видел - конец 90-х начало 00-х на MTV

  65. K.... G....

    These guys are still making music

  66. C.... O....

    Gayest thing ive ever seen

  67. A.... H....

    People can say whatever they want about Nu Metal, but, at least the bands were more creative. You have Industrial influenced bands like PM5K and Static X, you have funk influenced bands like Korn, Rap and Thrash influenced bands like Slipknot. People can bash it all they want (although, since it was never a cohesive thing, I am not sure it exists), but music was a lot better when it was THE music that was played on rock radio. Was it real metal? Depends on the band (and sometimes, such as Linkin Park's case, the album). But, who cares? Rock radio was a lot more diverse and interesting, and we didn't have to be slaves to boybands, I would LOVE a Nu Metal revival. The "metalheads" can whine all they want about it "not being real metal" (once again, depends on the band), but it's better than almost anything in rock music right now. Nu Metal, because it wasn't cohesive encourage experimentation, which is something, I think, the constraints of modern rock music (actually, modern music in general), doesn't let artists do.

    A.... H....

    Music in the 90s was better than anything today. Even my own music, which is sad. I love my music, but I’m first to admit it doesn’t even come close to that 90s magic.

  68. C.... ....

    Now I know where SOAD got their idea to do Toxicity

    C.... ....

    Do you mean the video or the music? SOAD's first album came out around the same time. (Toxcicity is their second, I do believe)

    C.... ....

    @Adam Hovey the video for the song toxicity

  69. B.... C....

    I love that youtube has started recommending me these random late nineties songs Ive never heard before but still feel like I've missed

    B.... C....

    Late 90s/Early 2000s was a golden age for rock radio.

  70. P.... M....

    Holy shit Rob zombies brother is still relevant... fuck yeah

  71. J.... R....

    That was a fun little song 😉

  72. C.... ....

    Look like Bart Simpson.

  73. M.... S....

    Speed up by 2 😮

  74. B.... T....

    I never heard of these guys. 20 years later I see this. 1999 was the *worst* year of my life, must be the reason I didn't get to listen to them.

  75. D.... D....

    naruto meets heavy metal. Funny stuff. Badass

  76. J.... A....

    Who are real?

  77. C.... M....

    Crazy how he sounds a bit like his brother Rob Zombie.

  78. D.... ....

    The unsuccessful brother of Rob Zombie.

    D.... ....

    This is Rob Zombies brother crazy huh

  79. Z.... A....

    Wow, this band sucks

  80. W.... C....

    Damn, they suck even more than I remember.

  81. M.... W....

    Such a shame these guys didnt do much. One of my favorite albums

    M.... W....

    MATT WOLSKI your music taste is shit

  82. D.... a....

    Goddamit Bruce

  83. R.... J....

    Powerman 5000: Retro Sci-Fi Metal.


    Rob Zombie: Retro Horror Metal.

    R.... J....

    Asta453 Lol, I was wondering who Dylan was until I realized that my account name still says Dylan. Dylan’s not my real Name...

    R.... J....

    @Rick Jones How should I know who you are?

    R.... J....

    Asta453 lol, idk.

    R.... J....

    1995 - 2002 Sci-Fi was great

    R.... J....

    Powerman 5000: Retro Sci-Fi Metal
    Rob Zombie: Vintage Horror Metal
    Hybrid Theory (old Linkin Park): Retro Metal, that can make haters shut up
    Static X: Retro NFS Metal

  84. D.... ....

    honestly feels like your begging for robs attention

  85. D.... ....

    ok this might be the song that sets you apart from your brother

    D.... ....

    Such a great song

  86. L.... K....

    on point ! with the vocals and guitars !

  87. C.... H....

    This is still boss in 2019

    C.... H....

    boss isn't boss in 2019 though........

  88. Z.... ....

    When you come back to this 2 decades later and realize he's on about quantum physics

    Z.... ....

    Celebrities even discussing quantum physics like they've ever done the math is some of the lamest shit imaginable.

  89. O.... M....

    I bet they were filming this at 12 o clock in this studio and SOAD filmed toxicity at 1

  90. C.... H....

    Man he definitely sounds like Rob Zombies Brother, but he looks like Wayne Statics Brother haha

  91. M.... A....

    Powerman, the truth is you have no power! Your Creator, Father God is infinitely more powerful than satan, that means you are nothing.

  92. J.... M....

    Shout out to the 30+ year olds that can remember listening to this after school and smoking killer bud. Easy good times.

  93. A.... P....

    Transgender people competing with women,.. totally unfair,..

    A.... P....

    If they wanna convert this in the law of the jungle there we go,..

  94. M.... A....

    I get the nostalgia of any nu metal from the 2000s because I had a friend that listened to this and he got me into it. Unfortunately he doesnt talk to me anymore so yea

  95. W.... A....

    Hace años escuche esta cancion en una estacion de radio muy buena
