“Real Life” follows previous singles “Sad Clown”, “Bored”, and “HAHA”, as the latest preview of Baker’s debut collection of songs, which pull from grunge, glam, riot grrrl, and indie rock influences. <\/p>\n
Speaking about the song, Baker says: \u201cAs a queer person, I\u2019ve spent a lot of time imagining all the different life scenarios and possibilities of who I could be, who I should be, who I want to be and who I actually<\/em> am. I\u2019ve spent too much time pretending to be someone I\u2019m not, playing out these different scenarios, playing pretend, trying to \u201cfit in.\u201d The song is about the control, or lack of control, we have within our own lives and realities. <\/p>\n “Do we make our own choices or are they made for us? \u201cIs this real life, is this just fantasy?\u201d<\/em> Inspired by The Truman Show, am I living a life that I have created for myself? Or am I living a life that I have no choice but to go along with? Am I living by my own rules or am I following the script so neatly written for me, without even really knowing it? I think we\u2019d all like to think we\u2019re in control of our own realities, our own decisions, but I think it\u2019s actually very hard to cut the puppet strings we are attached to.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.thelineofbestfit.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “Real Life” follows previous singles “Sad Clown”, “Bored”, and “HAHA”, as the latest preview of Baker’s debut collection of songs, which pull from grunge, glam, riot grrrl, and indie rock influences.
