Faker
Miike Snow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
A pool of emmalines delirious
She lingers like a chain
It's more than grave but not to serious
Send your reverie to me
Faker
Into the mouth of green morning
I am so wide awake
The wind is moving blossoms through the door
It's more than I can take
But half as much as what it was before
Send your reverie to me
Faker
Into the mouth of green morning
Faker
The lyrics of Miike Snow's "Faker" seem to be expressing a sense of confusion and disorientation. The first two lines set the scene as being "last call for everything," which suggests a feeling of finality or desperation. The image of a pool of "emmalines delirious" also adds to the sense of chaos and confusion. The lines "She lingers like a chain / It's more than grave but not too serious" are particularly interesting. The first line implies a sense of captivity or constraint, while the second line seems to suggest that whatever is happening is not truly grave or serious, perhaps indicating that the singer is overreacting or exaggerating the situation.
The refrain of "send your reverie to me / Faker / into the mouth of green morning / Faker" is both mysterious and intriguing. The term "reverie" implies a dreamlike state, while "Faker" is a fittingly enigmatic title for the song. The lines "I am so wide awake / The wind is moving blossoms through the door / It's more than I can take / But half as much as what it was before" suggest a feeling of being overwhelmed, but also of being alert and alive. The reference to the wind moving blossoms through the door adds a poetic and wistful element to the lyrics.
