Punchline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before I was replaced by a fake
I'm not the only on that thinks
It's safe to say you've changed
(Away, away, away)
Remember the good old days
Before I was replaced by a fake
I'm not the only on that thinks
As in hypocrite, critically unacclaimed
Stop looking at the mess that we've made
And why the hell is every other night is us making mistakes
We'll work it out
Maybe it will work out itself
Where tomorrow takes us no one can tell
I took the long way home today
Hoping that we wouldn't cross paths unusually
It's a part of my routine
And I am trying to change
I'll take the long way
Remember the good old days
Before I was replaced by a fake
I'm not the only on that thinks
It's safe to say you've changed
(away, away, away)
Remember the good old days
Before I was replaced by a fake
I'm not the only on that thinks
You're only hip
As in hypocrite, critically unacclaimed
Hip as in hypocrite, your changing your name
Yeah, yeah, yeah, whoa
Five steps to the center we stand
Let's throw a coin up and see how it lands
The way we were, the way we weren't
Who's to say?
How much of you and me do you still see?
How much of you and me do you still see?
(Do you see?) How much do you see?
Remember the good old days
Before I was replaced by a fake
I'm not the only on that thinks
It's safe to say you've changed
(away, away, away)
Remember the good old days
Before I was replaced by a fake
I'm not the only on that thinks
You're only hip
As in hipocrit, critically unacclaimed
Hip as in hipocrit, your changing your name
And your address
Right it down baby don't forget
Did you lose all your friends because of me?
Change your name and your address
It was all a consequence
Did you lose all your friends because of me?
What happened, why did we, where will we go?
Remember the good old days? (Do you remember?)
Remember the good old days? (Do you remember?)
What happened, why did we, where will we go?
Remember the good old days? (Do you remember?)
Remember the good old days? (Do you remember?)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Remember the good old days
Before I was replaced by a fake
I'm not the only on that thinks
It's safe to say you've changed
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Remember the good old days
Before I was replaced by a fake
I'm not the only on that thinks
You've changed
The song "The Fake The Snake And The Birthday Cake" by Punchline is a reflection on the changes in a relationship that has grown apart. The lyrics start with a longing for the "good old days" before the singer was replaced by someone who is fake, leading them to believe that the other person has changed. The chorus repeats this sentiment, with the addition of the term hypocrite, suggesting that the other person is putting on a façade to fit in with a certain crowd.
The second verse explores the messiness of their current situation, admitting to making mistakes but still hoping for a solution. The line "how much of you and me do you still see?" indicates a sense of loss and uncertainty in the relationship. The bridge introduces the idea of chance, with the suggestion of flipping a coin to see where they land. The lines "what happened, why did we, where will we go?" reflect a sense of confusion and regret.
Overall, the song is an honest portrayal of the difficulties that arise when a relationship changes, with a focus on the loss of authenticity and connection. The repetition of the phrase "remember the good old days" highlights the sense of nostalgia and longing for what once was.
