Verse 1
No more peeling back the onion,
No more chasing down the code,
No more whispers from the lattice
Where the quantum gremlins go.
I’ve got sand beneath my fingers,
I’ve got you in front of me —
And if this is all illusion
It’s the best I’ve ever seen.
Pre-Chorus
Let the universe do admin,
Let the gods debug the sky…
Tonight I’m not a theory —
I’m a heartbeat and a sigh.
Chorus
Base reality, baby —
This is where I’m choosing to stand.
No simulations, no speculations,
Just your warm and wandering hand.
Base reality, darling —
If it’s fake, it’s fake so grand…
That I’ll dance with you right through it
Till the servers crash and slam.
Verse 2
No more questions from philosophers,
No more turtles all the way,
No more nested Russian doll worlds
Stacked in cosmic disarray.
I’ve got laughter in my ribcage,
I’ve got mischief in my lungs —
If this world’s a clever trick, love,
It’s the cleverest ever spun.
Pre-Chorus
Let the physicists do paperwork,
Let the prophets scan the light…
Tonight I’m built of monkey joy
And you’re everything that’s right.
Chorus
Base reality, baby —
Where your smile becomes the law.
If the matrix is still running,
Then it’s running for us all.
Base reality, darling —
Where a kiss suspends the fall…
And we live like beings chosen
By the universe to bawl.
Bridge
Maybe it’s all code and fiction,
Maybe we’re just artefacts…
But you touch me like it matters
And it’s hard to argue that.
Let the cosmos keep its secrets,
Let the architects stand tall —
This moment feels so certain
That it overrides it all.
Final Chorus
Base reality, baby —
The only truth I need is you.
Whether analogue or digital,
My heart believes you’re true.
Base reality, darling —
And if none of this is real…
Then the world that dreamed us both
Is the world I want to feel.
