Faux
Novo Amor & Ed Tullet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
caught hold of your flood lung,
harbour your ‘someone',
prevent me.
Shown,
you swoon in your lace run,
brooding, a quilt tongue,
pining me.
clot, cold, and bleed
Calm,
clot, cold, and bleed
Bone,
pull over your midriff,
labour your inches,
widow me.
Hone,
all crimson and hinges,
tarot and itches,
corner me.
Faux
shot, sold and bleed
Faux
shot, sold and bleed
Faux

Faux

Cower all your cinders, fake us
bower in your shivers, shake us
Cower all your cinders, fake us
bower in your shivers, shake us
Cower all your cinders, fake us
bower in your shivers, shake us
Cower all your cinders, fake us
bower in your shivers, shake us
Cower all your cinders, fake us
bower in your shivers, shake us
Cower all your cinders, fake us
bower in your shivers, shake us
Cower all your cinders, fake us.
The lyrics to Novo Amor & Ed Tullet's song "Faux" are complex and poetic, but they seem to be about a tumultuous relationship in which one person is trying to control or manipulate the other. The word "clone" suggests an attempt to make the other person into an identical copy of oneself, while "flood lung" could refer to drowning in emotions or being overwhelmed by a situation. The line "harbour your ‘someone', prevent me" implies that one person is keeping a secret or hiding something from the other, perhaps to maintain power in the relationship.
The second verse continues this theme of control and manipulation, with imagery of lace, quilts, and tarot cards. The repeated refrain of "calm, clot, cold, and bleed" could be interpreted as a description of the emotional rollercoaster of a toxic relationship. The word "faux," which means false or fake, is repeated several times in the chorus, suggesting that one or both people in the relationship are not being genuine or honest with each other.
The final section of the song seems to be a plea for the other person to be real and vulnerable, rather than hiding behind a false facade. The repetition of the lines "cower all your cinders, fake us" and "bower in your shivers, shake us" could be interpreted as a desire for the other person to reveal their true self, even if it is painful or uncomfortable.
Overall, "Faux" is a haunting and emotive song about the complexities of human relationships and the pain that can come from manipulation and control.

Clone, caught hold of your flood lung, harbour your ‘someone', prevent me.
I have become a copy of you, while holding on to your emotions with every breath. You harbor someone you love, while preventing me from having the same experience.
Shown, you swoon in your lace run, brooding, a quilt tongue, pining me.
You display your vulnerability as you go about your daily routine, while keeping your true feelings inside. You have a melancholy voice that speaks of regret and longing, reaching out to me.
Calm, clot, cold, and bleed Calm, clot, cold, and bleed
Your emotions are contained, stopping you from expressing your feelings. You feel numb, but the pain is still there.
Bone, pull over your midriff, labour your inches, widow me.
You cover yourself up, hiding your true form. You feel heavy with the weight of the world on your shoulders, and this causes a distance between us, like a metaphorical widowhood.
Hone, all crimson and hinges, tarot and itches, corner me.
You sharpen your senses, feeling everything acutely with a red hot intensity. You feel as though your fate is being chosen for you, with no say in the matter. You feel trapped, like a cornered animal.
Faux shot, sold and bleed Faux shot, sold and bleed Faux shot, sold and bleed Faux shot, sold and bleed
The idea of love and affection is false, a mere imitation. You have given everything, but received nothing in return.
Cower all your cinders, fake us bower in your shivers, shake us Cower all your cinders, fake us bower in your shivers, shake us Cower all your cinders, fake us bower in your shivers, shake us Cower all your cinders, fake us bower in your shivers, shake us Cower all your cinders, fake us bower in your shivers, shake us Cower all your cinders, fake us
You hide your true feelings from the world, pretending to be something you're not. You make us feel safe in your embrace, while secretly shaking with fear. We are all pretending, hiding behind a façade that is crumbling beneath us.

Meh. Came here out of curiosity, for the music (which I already fell in live with) and left … for the music WITHOUT the video.
I can and will LISTEN to the music.
Video does NOTHING for my ears.
Music is music.
Music is for ears.
Can you imagine hearing a Japanese song bird (I hear them frequently) … looking … and then seeing that the actual source of the beautiful music is a vulture … or something else?
Seems every time I see a video to some song I like, I am either disappointed and/or it’s “WTF?”
This one is actually pretty good compared to “Alps.” Alps, for me? Again, great song, but, just about the time I was bored enough to Click away, it was major WTF?

just when you think you've run out of time, out of life. There is another person, they appear in your life suddenly almost out of nowhere, and save you from the dark.

I believe the music video is about loneliness. She walked a lonely path, dealing with all the problems alone, suffering alone,until she found would love within herself, until she found a way to get through it all. But gradually it became too much for her and when she couldn't take the loneliness anymore, when she thought she was all on her own, when she was on the brink of giving up someone came to her aid and rid her of her problems, sadness and suffering. Thus causing her to look so confused and emotional when that person came because no one has ever done that for her. That's how I perceive the video.

Songs like this make me feel that, despite all the suffering, pain, and injustices in the world, there are sacred spaces that no one can touch. We need these little hideouts. Much like my mentor, Bertrand, three passions govern my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and the unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, blow me hither and thither, also, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair. Without music, we would be trapped in someone else's reality. Thank you for the healing. Much love to everyone...<3

Franz L.C.Kappus and to you to i hope all of mankind can embrace these feelings of love we are all brothers and sisters and we need to see how precious each breath is i try every day to be nice and show compassion but hate is strong and hate spreads easily morse so than love i think as a race and society we have had our priorities wrong from the get we set ourselvers on selfish standards and our beliefs can be treacherous to our nature and change the way we treat people after all the worlds plight and wars and fights i think we know how we should live how we should be one i hope its not to late but when i hear music like this it gives me hope..hope because i know people stumble into music like this so hard at heart and then them realize true feelings the whole world needs to be awakened to this joy we have eachother and if we all stuck together what would stop humanity? nothing we have the power the question is do we have the time
