Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But that picture don't look like you
How you really gon' try to play me like that
Y2K 'erbody got the internet
(I ran as fast as i can)
Takin' pics of herself eatin' up gelato
She says that she wish she was a model
You ain't Xtina, I'm no genie in a bottle
Cause y'all don't look nothin' like your demo
Now I'm feelin' like an instrumental
Cause I have no words I retire, Leno
Late night (master of the filters)
Low budget (no name photographers)
No likes (fake ass pictures)
Tell you what i did then
I ran as fast as I can (all of the sudden)
Alakazam I got out of that jam
Like Birdman
Checkin' all of her Instagrams
She looks like a 10 (out of what?)
Just not in, not in person
Who took that picture of you
They must be a magician, poof
David Blaine Copperfield that is how I really feel
Late night (master of the filters)
Low budget (no name photographers)
No likes (fake ass pictures)
Tell you what i did then
I ran as fast as I can (all of the sudden)
Alakazam I got out of that jam
Like Birdman
Checkin' all of her Instagrams
She looks like a 10 (out of what?)
Just not in, not in person
Turn the bass boost up
Listen, I ain't even mad at ya
(No I ain't even mad at ya)
I think I need to change my eyes
(Something's wrong with my eyes)
You the master of disguise
Feelin' bad for all these guys
You played me for a fool
Hold up (I'm holding)
What'd you do then?
Then I ran as fast as I can (all of the sudden)
Alakazam I got out of that jam
Like Birdman
Checkin' all of her Instagrams
She looks like a 10 (out of what?)
Just not in, not in person
Fake bitches
Real life
Priceless boy
And it still rang true
In the song "Fake Bitches" by Astro Safari USA, the lyrics describe a situation where the singer is being deceived by someone on the internet who portrays themselves as someone they are not. The singer implies that the person in the picture they are seeing does not look like the real person behind the account. This is due to the widespread use of social media and filters, leading people to create false identities online. The song comments on how people can manipulate their images to appear more attractive and desirable to others, leading to various consequences like mistrust and disappointment when they meet in person. The singer expresses his frustration towards the fake person and the situation by saying that he has "no words" and that he is "retiring." The use of references to magic terms like "Alakazam" and "David Blaine Copperfield" add to the humorous tone of the song while also emphasizing the illusionary nature of online identities.
Overall, the song reflects on the dangers of digital deception and how it affects people's lives, especially in relationships. The tone of the song suggests that being genuine and authentic is crucial, especially in building real connections with other people.
