Fake Love
Capsize Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They look up to me
I got fake people showin' fake love to me
Straight up to my face, straight up to my face
I′ve been down so long, it look like up to me
They look up to me
I got fake people showin' fake love to me
Straight up to my face, straight up to my face
Somethin' ain′t right when we talkin′
Ain't right when we talk
Look like you hidin′ your problems
You never was solid
No, you can't "son" me
You won′t never get to run me
When shit look out of reach
I reach back like one, three
Yeah
That's when they smile in my face
Whole time they wanna take my place
Whole time they wanna take my place
Whole time they wanna take my place
I know they wanna take my place
They can tell that love is fake
And I don′t trust a word you say
How you wanna clique up after your mistakes?
Look you in the face, and it's just not the same
I've been down so long, it look like up to me
They look up to me
I got fake people showin′ fake love to me
Straight up to my face, straight up to my face
I′ve been down so long, it look like up to me
They look up to me
I got fake people showin' fake love to me
Straight up to my face, straight up to my face
Straight up to my face, tryna play it safe
Vibe switch like night and day
I can see it, like, right away
I came up, you changed up
I caught that whole play
Since, things never been the same
That′s when they smile in my face
Whole time they wanna take my place
Whole time they wanna take my place
Whole time they wanna take my place
I know they wanna take my place
They can tell that love is fake
And I don't trust a word you say
How you wanna clique up after your mistakes?
Look you in the face, and it′s just not the same
I've been down so long, it look like up to me
They look up to me
I got fake people showin′ fake love to me
Straight up to my face, straight up to my face
I've been down so long, it look like up to me
They look up to me
I got fake people showin' fake love to me
Straight up to my face, straight up to my face
The song "Fake Love" by Capsize deals with the theme of fake people who show fake love to the singer. The opening lines, "I've been down so long, it looks like up to me, they look up to me" establishes the sense of isolation and loneliness that the singer feels. His friends and acquaintances may look up to him, but their behavior is fake and shallow, which is why they are called fake people.
The song portrays the confusion and disillusionment of the singer in response to the actions of his so-called friends. He is aware of their insincerity and understands their intention to take advantage of him, yet he is still unable to move away from them. The lyrics "They can tell that love is fake, and I don't trust a word you say, how you wanna clique up after your mistakes" highlight this tension.
The bridge of the song displays frustration and anger at the changing dynamics of the relationships. The line, "I came up, you changed up, I caught that whole play, since things never been the same", indicates that the singer is aware of the changes that have taken place and is not optimistic about the future.
Overall, "Fake Love" is a powerful portrayal of the confusion and disillusionment of a singer who feels that he has been let down by his friends, and the emotional journey that he is taking to come to terms with the situation.
