Fake Love
Cemetery Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You caught me staring at the ceiling
This is the setting of the seasons
I'll use the cross-eyed thoughts to
Excuse myself, amuse myself
And loose myself until we come back down
To prove that hell is where my heart's been
Run in circles 'til we come back down
You're my baby take a back seat
Hard drugs, fake love
It's a sensation
Makes one hell of a collaboration
I'm falling down your stairwell
Eyes are closing if you can't tell
Me the rhyme in all your reasons
'Cause it's the reason of the seasons
So excuse yourself, amuse yourself
And lose yourself before we come back down
To prove that hell is where your hearts' been
Run in circles 'til we come back down
Tonight we're slaving to another beat
You're my baby take a back seat
Hard drugs, fake love
It's a sensation
Makes one hell of a collaboration
Tonight we're slaving to another beat
You're my baby take a back seat
Hard drugs fake love
It's a sensation
Makes one hell of a collaboration
It's in the bedroom,
In the basement
From your head down to your heart
Every flame that you spark in the light
And in the dark makes a light that they see
No impossibility, it's the air that we breathe
And the dark makes a light that they see
No impossibility, it's the air that we breathe
And the thoughts that we think
Tonight we're slaving to another beat
You're my baby take a backseat
Hard drugs, fake love
It's a sensation
Makes one hell of a collaboration
Tonight we're slaving to another beat
You're my baby take a backseat
Hard drugs, fake love
It's a sensation
Makes one hell of a collaboration
The lyrics of "Fake Love" by Cemetery Sun portray a sense of confusion and surrender to a world of superficial relationships and self-indulgence. The singer describes being in a dark room, with his head spinning and unable to escape his own thoughts. He seems to be aware of the emptiness of his actions ("hard drugs, fake love"), but he can't help but succumb to them, as if looking for an escape or a distraction from reality.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of being a slave to a certain lifestyle or mindset that is ultimately unfulfilling. The phrase "Tonight we're slaving to another beat" suggests a constant need for stimulation or entertainment, as if the characters in the song are unable to stay still and face the truth of their situation.
However, there is a glimmer of hope in the last lines of the song, where the singer acknowledges that even in the darkest moments, there is a light to be found. The repetition of the line "And the dark makes a light that they see" hints at the idea that pain and struggle can lead to growth and understanding, and that there is always a way out of the cycle of self-destruction.
Overall, "Fake Love" is a raw and introspective look into the complexities of human relationships and the search for meaning in a world that often seems devoid of it.

When I first heard this song several years ago, I estimated it’d have at least 100 million views because it felt like an iconic song but I’m surprised at how underrated this song is and astonished at the lack of streams
no

I’ve heard you the first time on Rock for People in Czech Republic (literally couple days ago), and you sound so good, I listen on repeat. Work with the crowd is also spot on.
