REALE Lyrics – Geolier

REALE Lyrics Meaning

[Strofa 1]
In this verse, Geolier reflects on the gritty lifestyle he’s been a part of. He talks about flashy, high-powered cars and dangerous weapons, hinting at the harsh world of street life. He notes how the young generation is skeptical, and how material wealth no longer excites him as it once did. He mentions living in an area where violence is common, yet how the experience of surviving such situations gives him a sense of immortality. Despite his wealth, he feels detached and speaks of the emptiness of success. Geolier also touches on his changing desires, like how he used to dream of a luxurious apartment but now owns something far more humble. His journey has made him more isolated and cautious, with friends turning into enemies. He talks about how life in the streets makes him more guarded, and now when he looks at the world, he sees things differently—dreaming of places like Capri, but knowing he hasn’t fully achieved what he promised to his loved ones. The verse reveals his internal conflict, where past ambitions don’t align with his present state of mind, and he’s struggling with the price of fame and the personal sacrifices made along the way.

[Ritornello]
In the chorus, Geolier speaks about moving forward in life but feeling like things don’t make sense anymore. Despite winning awards and gaining recognition, he feels like his achievements are hollow, hanging on him like empty medals. He reflects on how the struggles and bad experiences are part of the battle and are actually the true trophies, as they helped him survive. He accepts defeat in the present, understanding that victory doesn’t always come right away and often arrives after mistakes. It’s a reminder that life’s true value lies in overcoming hardships.

[Strofa 2]
In this second verse, Geolier contrasts his image of success with his simple, unpretentious personality. While he could indulge in extravagant luxury (like flying in a Gulfstream or wearing gold), he chooses to stay grounded, even humorously describing how he enjoys fast food. The verse also reflects his awareness of the fleeting nature of wealth and fame, noting that if he ever got lucky enough to hit the jackpot, he’d spend it all on helping others. He also touches on the idea of giving back to those who supported him when he had nothing, remembering how he once celebrated small victories. Even though he didn’t win a major music competition (Sanremo), he doesn’t let it affect him anymore. His focus is on the present, where he’s no longer in the grind and has more of a passive role in life, even calling himself “retired” since 2019. Geolier then describes his strength and success, not just in money or fame, but in his ability to stay solid and resilient. He refers to his strength as something that can’t be measured by normal standards. The verse ends with him reflecting on his place in the music industry, how he’s come a long way, and how he’s not motivated by what others think of him, but by his own growth and choices.

[Ritornello]
The chorus is repeated, emphasizing that Geolier continues to move forward, yet his achievements still feel somewhat meaningless. Even though he has all these awards and “medals,” the tough times he’s gone through are the real prizes. He sees them as the things that kept him alive and strong. Despite everything, he acknowledges that true victory comes with learning from mistakes.

[Outro]
The outro is a light, almost playful part of the song, with repetitive “la la la” lyrics that don’t carry deep meaning but offer a sense of closure. It’s like a moment of letting go, perhaps reflecting on how, despite everything said in the song, life keeps moving forward in an almost carefree way.
