Meaning of the quote

We've always been a bit out of touch with reality. This quote means that people, including the speaker, don't always see the world as it truly is. We may have our own ideas or beliefs that don't match up with what's really happening. It's like we're not fully connected to the real world and what's going on around us. The speaker is admitting that they, and maybe others, have a slightly different perspective on things, one that doesn't always line up with reality.
