about

reality is a dark, yet eventually hopeful ballad, an unconventional R&B track, produced and performed by Polymancer himself. The first song off of Poly’s upcoming EP, it talks about love and the feeling of losing it to situations you think could have been avoided through more wistful thinking, but that's never really the case. When you come to accept it, you can see there's so much more out there waiting for you.

With reality, Polymancer aims to bring his unique style of pop that doesn’t necessarily stick to the rules of conventional pop songwriting, yet maintains sound structure in a way that it reminds the listener of their favorite pop artists like Sia and Billie Eilish, dark and ambient, taking them in with the music completely surrounding their bodies. Having only the punchline as a repetitive element in the song, the song has no other repetitions in terms of a chorus, or any other actual structure as mainstream pop follows (in terms of intro, verse, chorus, verse, bridge, chorus, outro). This makes it stand out from the crowd, yet only on paper, as it subconsciously blends in completely due to the pop beat and the strong R&B roots.

"Every dark knight comes to shine/ right when the morning comes to be," can be roughly translated to the idea of there always being a silver lining to the clouds even after the darkest of days. This song starts a new chapter in Polymancer's musical journey. 

lyrics

I can see you in my mind

I stopped, I kept looking in the rain
So keep reigning in my head, oh
Kept trynna prove that it was just a lie,
I tried

Babe you need to know that
Your reality is yours, not mine
So what if things shouldn’t go as planned,
Where do we stand?

(I can see you on the sidelines,
Looking fine)

Do you still believe in ghosts (see it in your eyes)
Like we used to? (haven’t slept in nights)
Run around our house (judging by the tide)
And turn off all the feelings
Every time you open your eyes (these thoughts will just subside),
look at me for I will clarify

(I can see you on the sidelines
Looking over the edge
All our feelings fading
Memories sweeping
Quieter every time that things
Would burn right through
Your finger tips
Don’t lie to you)

Your doubts won’t be the same
Babe when i look into your lies (something in your eyes)
It’s like these feelings never fade
I stand here too late to realize (tells me things won’t get any easier)

I don’t really know
Why i can’t seem to replicate
This emotional turmoil (but baby please)
That we keep feeling in the shade (of our minds) (don’t lose hope)

I will let you in on this so soon?
See you out the city
All these secrets
They die with me
I won’t lie about it all to you,
Oh, no, whoa
It’s better if we keep our distance
Out of mind, out of sight
That’s how I feel things should be
Memories been filtered like
Tea spilling on your shirt
Maybe this time it’ll be
Me who blocks you first

Your reality is yours, not mine
So what would you suggest? Yeah
I’m still stuck up in my head
Whoa
So close, please just let go
I can’t look into your eyes (look into your lies)
All these words just feel like lies

My feelings feel like
Gold dust in time
I’ll be looking to the bright side
Why’d you say that last time the darkness will subside?
I’ll be on my way
To look for the sun,
Shine
Standing through the night
Every dark knight comes to shine
Right where the morning comes to be
