Teenage Werewolf
Faker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i was a teenage werewolf taken
taken by your scene
lucy's hiding
don't be afraid of what you are
if it was only a dream
and if i fall, fall down
decision's made, are you coming around?
it's difficult times, i've found
lucy's frightened
i was a teenage werewolf taken
taken by your scene
lucy's fighting
open a vein and paralysed
but it was only a dream
and if i fall, fall down
and if i sound a little too proud
decision's made, are you coming around?
it's difficult times, i've found
i've found
lucy's quiet
i was a teenage warewolf taken
taken by your scene
lucy's defiant
opened a vein and paralysed
but it was always a dream
and if i fall, fall down
and if i sound a little too proud
decision's made, are you coming around?
it's difficult times, times, times, i've found
and if i fall, fall down
and if i stand a little too proud
decision's made, are you coming around?
it's difficult times, times, times, i've found
i've found
The song "Teenage Werewolf" by Faker tells a story of a girl named Lucy who is afraid and hiding, while the singer describes himself as a teenage werewolf taken by her scene. Although Lucy is frightened and quiet, she also fights back and displays defiance. The words also suggest that the couple is going through difficult times, which is seen as the decision is made, and it's unclear if the other person will come around or not.
The lyrics may represent a relationship between two individuals who are struggling to connect and to make things work. The teenage werewolf could be a symbol of the singer's inner animal-like emotions that he cannot control. Lucy represents the other person in the relationship, who is reserved and cautious, and perhaps has fears or doubts about the relationship.
The repetitive chorus "and if I fall, fall down, and if I sound a little too proud, decision's made, are you coming around?" could be interpreted as the singer begging for confirmation and assurance from Lucy about their relationship. The song ends on a somber note, repeating the line, "it's difficult times, times, times, I've found", suggesting that the difficulties in the relationship are ongoing.

Now this was REAL Faker.! You can really hear the haunting ambiance in this song. Something you will never get with a synthetic dance beat.

This was the essence of Faker. I was at all their early shows before they had a release as I was Friends with Nathan. He even asked me to join on guitar before this came out but it was not my thing to play. As much as I enjoyed their music, I liked to play nastier stuff. I missed out on being famous hahaha.
