Skyline
Fake Heroes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
hypnotizing grabbing looks,
inspiring imagination
natural or artificial,
always attracting my eyes
characterizing our cities flying into space
the line between what we believe is oursand what is not
skyline, separating the earthly and unearthly
skyline, the symbol of dishonest economy
skyline, the line of a natural transformation
skyline, a sign
an intent to set the time, to celebrate itsel
fan intent to leave a trace, to leave a sign behind
an intent to characterize a place with its own culture
characterizing our cities flying into space
the line between what we believe is oursand what is not
skyline, separating the earthly and unearthly
skyline, the symbol of dishonest economy
skyline, the line of a natural transformation
skyline, a sign
(over me skyline over me)
History tells us how inherent is in humanity the urge to compete with what surrounds us,
is inherent in humanity
the desire to create and leave a mark on the world. This is evident in the first verse of Fake Heroes' song Skyline, where the lyrics describe how works of art dominate and break new horizons, hypnotizing and inspiring imagination. The skyline of a city is often the epitome of this, as it characterizes our cities flying into space and separating the earthly and unearthly. The skyline is a symbol of the natural transformation of a city, a sign of the intent to set the time and to celebrate itself.It is interesting how the lyrics describe the line between what we believe is ours and what is not, which could be interpreted as the struggle between preserving the culture and heritage of a place versus the impact of modernization and globalization.
The second verse further emphasizes this intent to leave a mark, with the lyrics mentioning the urge to leave a trace and to characterize a place with its own culture. However, the song also highlights the negative impacts of the race to create a unique and recognizable skyline. The skyline is described as a symbol of dishonest economy, which could refer to the corruption and exploitation that could have been involved in order to push through the construction of a visually stunning skyline.
One interesting point to note about this song is that it is an example of post-rock music, a genre that is characterized by the use of textures, dynamics, and mood to create an atmospheric and cinematic sound. The wordless vocals used in the song are also typical of post-rock music.
