Fake Friends
PS1 feat. Alex Hosking Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It seems you're all talk, baby, all talk, ooh
I could smell the cigarette smoke falling from you
Got me alone, what the fuck we gon' do?
You hate those West Coast plastic, tinsel, botox, perfect smiles (I'm, high)
You're a lonely wallflower, old school type of anti-style
Maybe we could be like the others, they know how to have fun
Maybe we could be like the others, they know how to have fun
They know how to have fun, they know how to have fun
Maybe we could be like the others, they know how to have fun
Maybe we could be like the others, they know how to have fun
Maybe we could be like the others, they know how to have fun
They know how to have fun, they know how to have fun
They've been talking up a game so let's play some Risk
Talking big, talking shit, just like this
I would rather posers than your attitude
You got me alone, what the fuck you gon' do? (fuck you gon' do?)
You hate those West Coast plastic, tinsel, botox, perfect smiles (I'm, high)
You're a lonely wallflower, old school type of anti-style
Maybe we could be like the others, they know how to have fun
Maybe we could be like the others, they know how to have fun
Maybe we could be like the others, they know how to have fun
They know how to have fun, they know how to have fun
Maybe we could be like the others, they know how to have fun
Maybe we could be like the others, they know how to have fun
Maybe we could be like the others, they know how to have fun
They know how to have fun, they know how to have fun
You hate those West Coast plastic, tinsel, botox, perfect smiles (I'm, high)
You're a lonely wallflower, old school type of anti-style
Maybe we could be like the others, they know how to have fun
Maybe we could be like the others, they know how to have fun
Maybe we could be like the others, they know how to have fun
They know how to have fun, they know how to have fun
The lyrics to PS1 feat. Alex Hosking's song "Fake Friends" explore the feeling of being alone in a world that values superficiality and artificiality. The singer of the song is at a loss as to what to do in the middle of the night, with only their cigarette smoke for company. The song's title refers to the idea that many people are only interested in putting on a facade of friendship, when in reality they are only interested in using you for their own purposes.
The song continues to express frustration with the West Coast lifestyle, with its emphasis on plastic surgery, tinsel, and botox. The singer sees themselves as a lonely wallflower, someone who values authenticity and individuality over superficiality and conformism. They express a desire to fit in and have fun like others do, but are struggling to find a way to do so without sacrificing their values and principles.
Overall, "Fake Friends" is a song about the struggles of finding true connection and meaning in a world that often prioritizes surface-level appearances over genuine human connection.

The video sends out good lessons on life and the obsession with social media. It goes to show what you percieve as a lifestyle is far from the reality.

No point having fake online friends who don't give a damn about, but rather have the real friends who stay by you every second and care for you and make you feel you matter! Don't follow other people just be yourself!
