Utopía
FAKE? Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wait for things to go wrong (whoa)
Hit me in the head 'cause I don't know why
Ain't got no discipline
No brain to store my thoughts in (whoa)
Gotta get me cured
Milkshake in my brain and now I'm sticky and so sweet
But then I don't have to try to get to know
Everything that's ever come and gone through my world
Only common sense I know
But I don't understand it
Oh, my world's deported me again
So drop the bags I'm heading towards...
Utopia, Utopia
Is the place I'm going
Utopia, Utopia
Is my grand new home
Utopia, Utopia
Is the place I'm going
Utopia, Utopia
Is my grand new home
All of my friends are calling
Over the rainbow
Oh...
I think he's so uptight
Been like that all through his life (whoa)
Kick him in the head 'cause he don't know why
He shows off his new scars
Just like he's bought a new car (whoa)
He's so insecure
Golden dreams are all I wanna see
This road is leading all the way to...
Utopia (Yeah)
Utopia (Ooh, yeah)
Utopia (Yeah)
Utopia (Ooh, yeah)
Utopia (Yeah)
Utopia (Ooh, yeah)
Utopia (Yeah)
Utopia (Ooh, yeah)
Utopia, Utopia
Is the place I'm going
Utopia, Utopia
Is my grand new home
Utopia, Utopia
Is the place that's been calling me (yeah)
It's calling me
The song UTOPIA by FAKE? portrays a person who is struggling to cope with their life and waiting for things to go wrong. The first verse highlights the lack of discipline and mental clarity in their life. The person is unable to organize their thoughts and needs to be cured. The milkshake in their brain is a metaphor for the clutter that is clogging their mind. The person is unable to focus and unable to sort things out. The second verse is about the singer's desire to escape from their current situation and be transported to a world of utopia. They dream of a place where they can find peace and happiness. The chorus repeats the word utopia several times, emphasizing the person's longing to be in a better place.
The song seems to suggest that the singer is unable to deal with the complexities of life and is looking for an easy way out. They seem to be struggling with anxiety, uncertainty, and insecurity. The mention of scars and insecurity further supports this interpretation. The song is a commentary on the human condition and how people tend to seek refuge from the harsh realities of life.

The only thing I know
I am uncertain about everything else
I wait for things to go wrong (whoa)
I am anticipating negative events that may happen in the future
Hit me in the head 'cause I don't know why
I am unsure why certain things happen in my life
Ain't got no discipline
I lack self-control and order in my life
No brain to store my thoughts in (whoa)
I struggle to retain and recall information
Gotta get me cured
I need help to overcome my difficulties
Milkshake in my brain and now I'm sticky and so sweet
My mind is filled with pleasant but distracting thoughts
It seems I'm never getting better at restoring me
It feels like I'm not improving my mental health
But then I don't have to try to get to know
I do not attempt to learn and understand new things
Everything that's ever come and gone through my world
My past experiences have shaped my present self
Only common sense I know
I am only familiar with basic and practical knowledge
But I don't understand it
I struggle to apply my knowledge to my personal life
Oh, my world's deported me again
I feel like my environment is rejecting and isolating me
So drop the bags I'm heading towards...
I am moving on from my current situation
Utopia, Utopia
I envision a perfect and ideal world
Is the place I'm going
I aspire to reach that perfect world
Is my grand new home
That perfect world will be my permanent residence
All of my friends are calling
My close acquaintances desire my company
Over the rainbow
They are beckoning me towards a better life
I think he's so uptight
I perceive a certain individual to be anxious and tense
Been like that all through his life (whoa)
That individual has always been that way
Kick him in the head 'cause he don't know why
That individual is clueless about their situation
He shows off his new scars
That individual attempts to draw attention to their pain
Just like he's bought a new car (whoa)
That individual uses their injury as a form of status symbol
He's so insecure
That individual lacks confidence and self-assuredness
Golden dreams are all I wanna see
I desire a positive and rewarding future
This road is leading all the way to...
I am confident that my path will lead me to my desired destination
Is the place that's been calling me (yeah)
I feel like that perfect world is meant for me
It's calling me to be free
That perfect world is calling me towards freedom and liberation
