Real Love Still Exists (feat. Yuna)

Henry's song 'Real Love Still Exists (feat. Yuna)' delves into the complexities of love and relationships, particularly focusing on the struggle to overcome past traumas and insecurities. The lyrics open with a poignant observation about how past failed relationships can cast a shadow over new beginnings. The line 'An image of your past failed lovers' suggests that the person being addressed is still haunted by previous heartbreaks, which could potentially sabotage the new relationship before it even starts. This sets the stage for a narrative about letting go of the past to embrace a future filled with genuine love.

The recurring metaphor of a 'tug of war' vividly illustrates the emotional struggle between holding on to past pain and moving forward. The plea to 'let it go' and 'burn the rope' signifies the need to release these emotional burdens. The singer acknowledges the difficulty in expressing love when the other person is still entangled in their past, yet remains steadfast in their affection. This unwavering commitment is encapsulated in the lines 'Still, I love you even though you make it hard for me to show you I love you, I really do.' The song emphasizes the importance of giving love a chance, despite the obstacles.

The chorus offers a hopeful vision of a place 'where ignorance is bliss, where real love still exists.' This idyllic 'other side' represents a state of emotional freedom and genuine connection, untainted by past disappointments. The repetition of 'where real love still exists' serves as a mantra, reinforcing the belief that true love is attainable if both parties are willing to let go of their pasts. The collaboration with Yuna adds a layer of soulful harmony, enhancing the emotional depth of the song. Ultimately, 'Real Love Still Exists' is a heartfelt appeal for emotional healing and the pursuit of authentic love, urging listeners to believe in the possibility of a love that transcends past wounds.
