Song Meaning of “Why Don’t You Love Me in Real Life” by Masked Intruder
This song tells the story of someone who is in love with someone else, but they feel like their affection isn’t reciprocated. They make the difficult realization that the love they feel cannot be returned in a physical sense, and they grieve over the fact that the relationship will never be realized.
The chorus paints a vivid picture of how it can feel to be rejected by someone you love – it’s like they can have a real connection online but then it fades away as soon as you walk away. It’s like the love you feel for them exists only in the fantasy world and not in your reality.
Despite these feelings of sadness, there is still an underlying sense of hope as they ask “Could you love me in real life?” suggesting that maybe the object of their affection could still feel something for them in reality. They end the song with a plea for “Love me in real life”, expressing that their feelings may never be returned but they still hope for that chance.
