Eve; Sou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you wanted me you'd try to invite me
And you'd entice me
If I wanted to I could probably have you but
You never wanted me
And now I
And now I
If I wanted to I could probably have you but
And now I
And now I
Got a whole new group
Of friends who knew who you were
Before I even knew
And I made the first move
'Cause you wouldn't do it first
No you never do
I'm just your play thing
If you wanted me you'd try to invite me
And you'd entice me
If I wanted to I could probably have you but
You never wanted me
And now I
And now I
If I wanted to I could probably have you but
You never wanted me
And now I
And now I
I'm just your play thing
If you wanted me you'd try to invite me
And you'd entice me
If I wanted to I could probably have you but
You never wanted me
And now I
And now I
I'm just your play thing
If you wanted me you'd try to invite me
And you'd entice me
If I wanted to I could probably have you but
You never wanted me
And now I
And now I
The lyrics of Sou's song "Fake" describe the frustration of being seen as just a plaything by someone who does not reciprocate the same level of interest. The singer acknowledges that they could have the person if they wanted to, but the other person never actively pursued them. There is a sense of feeling belittled and unimportant in this situation, as if the other person is only interested when it is convenient for them.
The lines "If you wanted me you'd try to invite me/ And you'd entice me" suggest that the singer expects effort and reciprocity from the other person, rather than being someone's convenient option. The chorus repeats the idea of being a plaything, which further reinforces the feeling of not being taken seriously or valued.
In the second verse, the singer talks about having a new group of friends who knew the other person before they did. The singer took the first step in pursuing the other person because they never made a move, perhaps because they were not interested in anything more than using the singer as a plaything.
Overall, the song "Fake" highlights the experience of feeling used and unimportant in a relationship, where one person is only interested in the other when it suits them. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has felt undervalued and unappreciated in a relationship.
