Fake Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The ballerina dancing by your side,
She's the bed that keeps you awake,
She's the watch that makes ya late
So do you really need or do you want?
She's the thirst that makes ya drool,
The fresh caught fur coat that's gonna keep ya cool,
She's the clean top that made your trousers fall,
So do you really need or do you want?
We want it all, crimson and chrome
That won't make a house a home,
So do you really need or do you want?
She's the shoes without a sole
She's a slice of cake that's gonna eat ya whole,
She'll leave you drowning in your swimming pool,
With your lilo made of cashmere wool,
So do you really need or do you want?
We want it all, crimson and chrome,
Won't make a house a home,
So do you really need or you want?
You need, you want, you buy, you got
You need, you want, you buy, you got
You need, you want, you buy, you got
Do you need what you want?
Do you know what you got?
We want it all, crimson and chrome,
That won't make a house a home,
Do you need the things you want?
Do you need or do you want?
She's the teeth without a smile
She's the bitch that left you waiting at the aisle
The lyrics to Fake Club's song "Crimson" explore the concept of desire versus necessity. Each verse presents rich and desirable objects, people, and experiences, but challenges the listener to consider whether they truly need these things or if they simply want them due to their glamour and allure. The first verse features language that portrays the subject as someone who is both captivating and disruptive to the singer's life, but its closing question suggests that these qualities don't necessarily equate to necessity. The second verse presents a series of luxury items and experiences, each one seductive but ultimately empty, leading the chorus to ask again whether the listener truly needs any of it.
The bridge brings the theme more directly to the forefront, with repeated refrains of "You need, you want, you buy, you got." The repetition and slight variation of this phrase reinforce the internal struggle between desire and necessity; it's not enough to want something, one must also purchase it and therefore obtain it. The closing verse features some of the most vivid and striking language in the song, taking the decadence and glamour of the first two verses and twisting it into something unappealing - the subject is now portrayed as a toothless, unpleasant character who leaves the singer "waiting at the aisle." This final touch suggests that even when the desire we feel for something is strong, it may not ultimately lead to happiness or fulfillment.
