LiveonRelease Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's telling you take a look in my direction
Too much anger I can't control my rage
Lock me up why don't you
I'm not in your fucking cage
Teething, grinding my teeth again
I'm teething oh
[Chorus]
Cursed, you push me round until I
Burst, but you don't know what I can
Take, no you you're fucking fake
Cursed, you push me round until I
Burst, but you don't know what I can
Take, no you you're fucking fake
Don't talk to me
You don't understand my pain
If you understood me then you'd never be the same
Your four letter words make me sob with dry tears
So shut your mouth and I'll forget about my fears.
Teething, grinding my teeth again
I'm teething oh
[Chorus]
Until you make sense of what you say
I'll climb the fence to get away
I have a mind you cannot tame
I'm not a slave to your cruel game
[Chorus]
Teething, grinding my teeth again
I'm teething oh
The song "Fake" by LiveonRelease opens up with singer Brittin Karroll exploring her own self-realization in the midst of confusion and misunderstanding. She is lost inside of her own misconception and is begging for somebody to understand her pain, but they seem to be ignorant and only want to push her around. Brittin is frustrated by the fact that people don't see beyond the anger that she has trouble controlling. She feels trapped in a cage of judgment that others have put her in and she lashes out with emotions portrayed through her teeth grinding - a symbol of inner turmoil.
In the chorus, Brittin sings about how she is cursed by the people around her because they don't understand what she is truly capable of. They assume that they know what she can take and what she cannot, but they are fake because they don't know the real her. She is a complex individual with a mind that cannot be tamed and she is not a slave to their cruel game. In the end, she is ready to climb over the fence and escape from the people and situations that are dragging her down.
The lyrics of "Fake" are very powerful and express the emotions of frustration, anger, and pain, which are relatable to many people who feel trapped and misunderstood. The song emphasizes the importance of speaking up for oneself and not allowing other people's opinions to define who they truly are. It is a call to action for people to break free from the judgments that society imposes on them and embrace their true selves.

Don't talk to me
You don't understand my pain

I'll climb the fence to get away
I have a mind you cannot tame
I'm not a slave to your cruel game
Until you start making sense, I'll go to great lengths to get away from your manipulations. My mind is not yours to control, and I won't be a pawn in your sinister games.
Teething, grinding my teeth again
I'm teething oh
I'm still feeling restless and agitated, grinding my teeth as a result.
