Fake Kiss Song
Liam Lynch Lyrics

In Liam Lynch's song "Fake Kiss Song," the singer talks about feeling overwhelmed and trapped in the bustling city. He has wrestled with an idea and thrown it in a box, suggesting that he feels filled with ideas and emotions that he’s contained in order to cope with his surroundings. He wears the city on his skin, indicating that the pressures of the city are a part of him and have impacted him. Despite the city's allure and shininess, the singer seems to feel alone and vulnerable. He tells someone that they've given up too easily and suggests that they are suffering alone. He mentions that the stars are teasing him, laughing at him. The singer appears to be longing for companionship and seeks to wake up from his isolation.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the desire for connection by repeating "Wake up, Wake up" as if it's a mantra to remind the singer, and the audience, that they shouldn't be alone. The phrase “You are here too” could be interpreted as a plea, as if the singer wants the listener to join him in his loneliness and help him find his way out. The last line of the song, “I’m jumping out of boxes and surprising your foxes," may mean that the singer is trying to break out of the boxes he's put himself in and find new and surprising ways to connect with others.
