Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
난 슬퍼도 기쁜 척 할 수가 있었어
널 위해서라면
난 아파도 강한 척 할 수가 있었어
사랑이 사랑만으로 완벽하길
내 모든 약점들은 다 숨겨지길
이뤄지지 않는 꿈속에서
(I'm so afraid of, I'm so sick of this fake love)
I'm so sick of this fake love
Fake love, fake love
I'm so sorry, but it's fake love
Fake love, fake love
I wanna be a good man just for you
세상을 줬네 just for you
전부 바꿨어 just for you
Now I don't know me, who are you?
Hey 우리만의 숲, 너는 없었어
내가 왔던 route 잊어버렸어
나도 내가 누구였는지도 잘 모르게 됐어 (eh)
거울에다 지껄여봐, 너는 대체 누구니?
널 위해서라면
난 슬퍼도 기쁜 척 할 수가 있었어
널 위해서라면
난 아파도 강한 척 할 수가 있었어
사랑이 사랑만으로 완벽하길
내 모든 약점들은 다 숨겨지길
이뤄지지 않는 꿈속에서
피울 수 없는 꽃을 키웠어
(I'm so afraid of, I'm so sick of this fake love)
Love you so bad, love you so bad
널 위해 예쁜 거짓을 빚어내
Love it's so mad, love it's so mad
날 지워 너의 인형이 되려 해
Love you so bad, love you so bad
널 위해 예쁜 거짓을 빚어내
Love it's so mad, love it's so mad
날 지워 너의 인형이 되려 해
I'm so sick of this fake love
Fake love, fake love
I'm so sorry, but it's fake love
Fake love, fake love
Why you sad?
I don't know 난 몰라 (oh, yeah)
웃어봐, "사랑해" 말해봐
나를 봐, 나조차도 버린 나 (oh, no)
너조차 이해할 수 없는 나
낯설다 하네, 니가 좋아하던 나로 변한 내가 (oh)
아니라 하네, 예전에 니가 잘 알고 있던 내가 (oh)
아니긴 뭐가 아냐? 난 눈 멀었어
사랑은 뭐가 사랑? It's all fake love
Ooh, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
Ooh 나도 날 나도 날 모르겠어
Ooh, I just know, I just know, I just know why
'Cause it's all fake love, fake love, fake love
(I'm so afraid of, I'm so sick of this fake love)
Love you so bad, love you so bad
널 위해 예쁜 거짓을 빚어내
Love it's so mad, love it's so mad
날 지워 너의 인형이 되려 해
Love you so bad, love you so bad
널 위해 예쁜 거짓을 빚어내
Love it's so mad, love it's so mad
날 지워 너의 인형이 되려 해
I'm so sick of this fake love
Fake love, fake love
I'm so sorry, but it's fake love
Fake love, fake love
널 위해서라면
난 슬퍼도 기쁜 척 할 수가 있었어
널 위해서라면
난 아파도 강한 척 할 수가 있었어
사랑이 사랑만으로 완벽하길
내 모든 약점들은 다 숨겨지길

피울 수 없는 꽃을 키웠어
The song "FAKE LOVE" by BTS explores the painful experience of loving someone who is not sincere with their love. The lyrics refer to the facade that people put up to maintain the illusion of love, even when their feelings are not genuine. The first verse of the song reveals the desire to pretend being happy or strong just for the sake of the person they love. The chorus relates the frustration and sadness of realizing that the love received is not real, as if it were a fantasy or a dream that can never come true. The lines "I'm so sick of this fake love, fake love, fake love / I'm so sorry but it's fake love, fake love, fake love" portrays that the act is taking a mental and emotional toll.
The second verse creates a sense of confusion and a loss of identity, where the singer feels lost and does not recognize oneself anymore. The lines "Now I don't know me, who are you? / Hi, our forest that we've been only walking in / You weren't there and I was alone" represent the confusion and questioning that comes with being in love with someone only pretending to love them back. The song concludes with the chorus, showing the repeated cycle of unreal love that can't grow any emotion, as the lyric "Love you so bad, love you so bad / I wanna be a good man just for you" represents the emotional toll being wasted on someone who is unable to reciprocate love.
Overall, the theme of "FAKE LOVE" is the sadness, frustration, and emotional toll of loving someone who cannot return the same emotions. The song emphasizes the desperate attempt to keep the relationship with someone, even if it means pretending along just to maintain the illusion of love.
