After spending 2007 and 2008 traveling through Brazil to promote the album "Cinco Faces de Um Segredo", they got the music video for "Aquela Música" on MTV Brasil and share the stage with national bands as NxZero, Fresno, Gloria, Strike, and international bands as New Found Glory, Millencolin and MxPx.
In 2009, having snapped up the award for "Best National Band", "Best Vocalist," "Best Video", "Best MySpace" and "Best Community of Orkut" at the website Zona Punk, Fake Number signs with Arsenal / Universal Music. The new album, produced by Lampadinha and artistic direction of Rick Bonadio has already been recorded, and its release is planned for June.
Getting fans wherever they go, Fake Number certainly have what they need to reach the Brazilian mainstream. The energy at the shows, interaction with the audience, the rhythm, the lyrics about sincere feelings and the way Elektra takes over the stage are a mixture of what Fake Number is now.
Why "Fake Number" ?
Only the members know!
Our goal is to bring our music to every corner hoping it can make a difference in the lives of each one of you." - Fake Number
Platônico
Fake Number Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E não poder sentir
Ver que o outro sente o mesmo
Mas não é por ti
E ter que esconder
E não poder demonstrar
Mentir pra você
Fazer o outro acreditar
Platônico
até pode ser
platônico
mais do que eu deveria sentir
Olhar suas fotos e imaginar você aqui
Saber que sente o mesmo
Mas não é por mim
E se perder no meio de uma ilusão
E não querer sair dessa confusão
Platônico
até pode ser
platônico
mais do que eu deveria sentir
Platônico...
E eu espero por você
O tempo que for
com medo de não acontecer
mas eu estarei aqui
(até o fim)
eu estarei aqui (eu estarei aqui)
platonico até pode ser
não é normal
o que eu sinto por você
Platonico
até pode ser
platonico
mais do que eu deveria sentir
Mais do que eu deveria
sentir...
mais do que eu deveria...
The lyrics to Fake Number's song Platônico speak about the complexity of unrequited love. The singer expresses the difficulty of knowing when love is true but not being able to feel it fully, as well as the pain of realizing that the other person feels the same but not for them. The song touches on the frustration and confusion of having to hide one's feelings and pretend that everything is okay. The term "platonic" refers to a type of love that is purely spiritual or intellectual and not physical, which is what the singer is experiencing in the song. They are stuck in a state of fantasy and longing, unable to break free from their infatuation and move on.
The songwriter uses the powerful imagery of looking at photos and imagining the other person being there, highlighting the desperation of their longing. The phrase "mais do que eu deveria sentir" (more than I should feel) appears at the end of the chorus, emphasizing the singer's awareness that their feelings are not reciprocated and that they should move on. However, they cannot help but hold onto hope and continue to wait for the other person, no matter how long it takes.
Overall, Platônico is a heartfelt ode to the pain of unrequited love and the difficulty of letting go. It captures the universal experience of longing for someone who can never be ours, and the bittersweet beauty of holding onto hope even in the face of rejection.
