Fake Lullabies
Callalily Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up little girl
Daddy's waiting outside
Holding your favorite toy
His eyes are full of joy
He can't wait to see your face
He's craving for that moments sweet embrace
His body starts to shiver
Cause this is the first time you'll see each other but

Everything was an imagination
You were a victim of a fad illusion
There's nothing you can do(2x)

Cause when we close our eyes
We hear more lies
Fake lullabies
Poisoning our minds

Clouds are running faster
As your eyes are getting heavier
Things are not so bright
Cause the moon won't she'd it's light
Merry's not around
I don't know where to be found
But who knows
Maybe in a rainbow

Everything was an imagination
You were a victim of a fad illusion
There's nothing you can do(2x)

Cause when we close our eyes
We hear more lies
Fake lullabies
Poisoning our minds

Wake up little girl
Daddy's gone forever
But who knows
Maybe in a rainbow

Cause when we close our eyes
We hear more lies
Fake lullabies
Poisoning our minds
Cause when we close our eyes
We hear more lies




Fake lullabies
Poisoning our minds

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Callalily's song "Fake Lullabies" tell a story of a little girl being deceived by her imagination and illusions. The first verse sets the scene of a little girl waiting for her father to come see her, with her favorite toy in hand. However, as the second verse reveals, this scene was all in the girl's mind. She was a victim of an illusion, which she had believed to be true. The chorus emphasizes the theme of deception, with the images of fake lullabies poisoning one's mind when we close our eyes.


The second half of the song changes the scene and the theme significantly. The clouds are running faster as the girl's eyes are getting heavier, and things are not so bright. Her father is gone forever, and the only glimmer of hope lies in maybe finding him in a rainbow. The chorus repeats the same words and melody, emphasizing the idea that these illusions and lies can have a lasting impact on one's mind.


The song addresses the idea of false reality, suggesting that what we experience in our imagination may not be true. The lyrics also suggest an underlying theme of loss and grief, with the departure of the girl's father bringing a sense of finality to the story.
