The Flaming Lips-Do You Realize??

This song stands as one of my favourites because of the contrast between the upbeat, optimistic nature of the music and the startling lyrics that highlight how insignificant we are. To be reminded that everyone we know will one day die (which is obvious, but not something we would like to spend too much time contemplating) in such a way makes me realize how short and precious life is and reminds me to focus on the good things.



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
