Reality is about drug-induced escapism, the thin line between dreams and reality and falling in love with a girl (or the idea of the ideal girl). The song is partially inspired by the anxiety of becoming unemployed and the need of escapism. The lyrics were initially generated with the help of AI but eventually reworked by Sven himself.
This is the first time Mondmann lends his vocal talents to his music and the results are there for everyone to hear. This process wasn't easy since singing didn't come naturally to Sven but everyone can agree that the treatment and manipulation made by the producer ended up with a haunting and very fitting vocal line.
lyrics
My mind gotta’ go
Dreaming reality
I got caught up
In reality
Can this be reality?
Are we dying finally?
So say good bye
Everyone of us
Is trying to escape reality
Someday
Our biggest fear
This endless brutality
When I first saw you
Shocking like fatality
The first look
Pushed me to insanity
Uh yeah
And now we’re here trying to
Escape from reality
‘cause we had enough of all
This insanity
Uuuhu
(This insanity)
Feels so unreal
Reminds of immortality
(Immortality)
I wish I could feel
All of your cru-el-ty
We first met
(We first met)
Out of curiosity
We have grown
Full of positivity
And now we’re here trying to
Escape from reality
`cause we had enough of all
This insanity
Uuuhu
