Her latest single, “Thick Thighs” (released in May 2019), was written about being confident in the skin you are in, without taking yourself too seriously. In an interview Priscilla said, “I've been told far too many times how I need to look as a female trying to make it in country music, and this is my response.”
Priscilla has played sold-out shows all across the Southeast, including Deep South the Bar in her hometown of Raleigh, NC. She has opened for acts such as the Dixie Chicks, Lady A, Brad Paisley, and Luke Bryan.
Fake Names
Priscilla Block Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And some of us wish the PTA would calm down
And all of us need more than a wind down and a clock out
I know I could use an alter-ego, ego boost right now
What do you say, let's get away, have us a holiday?
All the champagne, none of the shame
We can blame it on our
Fake names, I'm Hurricane Hayley
She's from Alabama and she's batshit crazy
Mary Jane, she's a pilot in the Navy
And blacked out Brittney might puke on your Luccheses
The hell that we're raisin', hearts that we're breakin'
Hey, it ain't a real mistake 'cause we can blame it on our
Fake names
Fake names
Pedialyte, poppin' bottles in the mornin'
Elvira went home with the doorman
And where am I, why is this guy callin' me Rhoda?
And how the hell did we end up in North Dakota?
Oh, um
Fake names, I'm Hurricane Hayley
She's from Alabama and she's batshit crazy
Mary Jane, she's a pilot in the Navy
And blacked out Brittney might puke on your Luccheses
The hell that we're raisin', hearts that we're breakin'
Hey, it ain't a real mistake 'cause we can blame it on our
Fake names
Fake names
Hey, Tawanda, don't you got a brain surgery or something you gotta go to?
I think you're late
Ta-what? Oh
We can blame it on our
Fake names, I'm Hurricane Hayley
She's from Alabama and she's batshit crazy
Mary Jane, she's a pilot in the Navy
And blacked out Brittney might puke on your Luccheses
The hell that we're raisin', hearts that we're breakin'
Hey, it ain't a real mistake 'cause we can blame it on our
Fake names
Fake names
In "Fake Names" by Priscilla Block, the lyrics depict a desire to escape from the monotony and restrictions of small-town life. The singer expresses their frustration with the conservative nature of their community, represented by the PTA, and the need for something more exciting and liberating. They yearn for an alter ego that can provide an ego boost, symbolizing a desire for a temporary break from their ordinary existence.
The chorus introduces the concept of "fake names," which serves as a metaphor for adopting new personas or identities to indulge in reckless behavior and embrace a carefree lifestyle. The singer suggests going on a holiday and engaging in extravagance symbolized by champagne, free from any feelings of guilt or shame. By assuming fake names like Hurricane Hayley, they can separate themselves from their real selves and indulge in uninhibited experiences without feeling the weight of responsibilities or judgments from their community.
The song describes various characters with these fake names, such as Hurricane Hayley, a wild and unpredictable personality from Alabama. Mary Jane is portrayed as a fearless and adventurous woman who serves as a pilot in the Navy. Blacked out Brittney represents the epitome of recklessness, with the potential to vomit on expensive designer boots (Luccheses). These characters further emphasize the idea of embracing freedom, stepping away from societal norms, and taking risks without consequences.
The lyrics also incorporate humor as the singer, possibly in an intoxicated state, questions their own whereabouts and encounters unexpected situations. The reference to Rhoda and ending up in North Dakota adds to the confusion and absurdity of the situation, highlighting the unpredictable nature of indulging in these fake personas.
Overall, "Fake Names" explores the desire to break free from the constraints of a small-town existence, seeking an alternative and alluring lifestyle by adopting fake identities. Through these identities and temporary escapes from reality, the song encapsulates the idea of shedding inhibitions, embracing spontaneity, and finding solace in the freedom that comes with anonymity and self-exploration.
