FAKE LOVE
Fair Weather Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't think you would call me if you were lost
I am not really standing in a row
I keep searching
and I think you would go and have some more
maybe you are just better off alone
I don't really want to steal your hours
so I keep searching
so you would rather take your chance of being scattered
you would like to be yourself -- self --maze- it suits you well
you got to be, got to be
but don't know where
see you tied now -- if you
climbing there up high
and you don't look back and hide
if you learned all your surroundings
then I bet that you are gone
I don't really know where you going, isolated
finally I am here and you got me
then you fade away
you like that momentary density of neurons
you like to lose your temper, it fits you well
former vision of this world dissolves in the air
throw yourself into wild dance fever
The lyrics to Fair Weather Friends' "Fake Love" are cryptic and elusive, but behind the obscure imagery, they convey a sense of distance and isolation. The singer of the song feels disconnected from their lover, who they do not find curious or alarmed about their well-being. They suspect that their lover would not call them if they were lost, and they do not feel like they are standing in the same row as them. Despite the gulf between them, the singer keeps searching, uncertain about whether their lover is better off alone.
The song's chorus depicts the lover as someone who prefers to be scattered, to be a self-made maze. They enjoy being themselves, but they don't know where they are going or who they are becoming. The lover is climbing higher, shedding their old surroundings, and leaving the singer behind. The singer is left isolated and confused, not knowing where their lover is going or why they are fading away.
In the second verse, the lyrics shift to a more abstract and surrealistic register. The lover is portrayed as someone who enjoys the momentary density of neurons, the fire of wild dance fever. They like losing their temper, and the former vision of the world that the singer held dissolves in the air. The song ends with an unresolved tension between the singer and the lover, an unbridgeable distance that remains despite their attempted connection.

You feel comfortable when you are angry or aggressive
former vision of this world dissolves in the air
Your old view of the world is disappearing or changing
throw yourself into wild dance fever
You get caught up in the excitement and energy of dancing

Szacunek. Widac że producent słuchał dużo dobrego oldschoolowego breakbitu. Mega poziom. Jestem pod wrażeniem.
