Song lyrics

Send "Do You Realize??" ringtones to your cell

Do You Realize, that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize, we're floating in space
Do You Realize, that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize, that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize, Oh Oh Oh
Do You Realize, that everyone, you know,
Someday, will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize, that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I don't know wheter this song is that sad. "It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round" can also be seen as a different view on things in a quite positive way; like "ask yourself about the truths you've learned! There are always two side to a story".

1 posts	NO! I dont think this song is sad at all! It's saying that death is inevetible. You cant change it and that instead of mourning about it you can learn from it and to realize that you just need to live every moment of every day to its fullest! But then it also says that death is not the end, it depends on how you look at it. The sun doesnt really set, its just an illusion. I think that theyre saying that death really isnt the end, just the beginning of something different.

8 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I agree with mobobaby. This is no way a sad song. It reminds me of the great Ferris Bueller quote: "Life move pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Make the most of life! And maybe the sun is not the only illusion? Peace.

4 posts	I love this song. I don't, however, like that it was in a Mandy Moore movie. It makes me mad when people try to make crappy movies okay through really good music. Just because.

79 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song was in a High School Play and when I first heard it, IT WAS SO AWESOME!! but this couple was dancing around then in the end of the song he proposed to her... It was all an illusion the Girl had but it never came true.... sad part of the play. But beautiful song none-the-less! ^^

10 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song is NOT sad, by far! It's not about "ohh, pooor me, everyone's DYING!" it's about things that are inevitable. We know these things (like death) WILL happen, and this song is about empowering yourself to be prepared when they do. Some people are just too shallow to see that.

1,479 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Good song, My friends just got in a car crash and 2 of them passed away 1 is still in critical condition. Ironically this song was on one of the kids who passed away's myspace. This song has helped me get through the hard times. I will miss them a lot. This song musically is pretty decent, I dont really know any other Flaming Lips songs but this song makes me want to check them out more.
