Demo- Fake It
Seether Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The one you sold to fool the world
You lost your self-esteem along the way
Yeah
Good god you're coming up with reasons
Good god you're dragging it out
Good god it's the changing of the seasons
So follow me down
And just fake it if you're out of direction
Fake it if you don't belong here
Fake it if you feel like affection
Woah you're such a fucking hypocrite
And you should know that the lies won't hide your flaws
No sense in hiding all of yours
You gave up on your dreams along the way
Yeah
Good god you're coming up with reasons
Good god you're dragging it out
Good god it's the changing of the seasons
I feel so raped
So follow me down
And just fake it if you're out of direction
Fake it if you don't belong here
Fake it if you feel like affection
Woah you're such a fucking hypocrite
Whoah
Whoah
I can fake with the best of anyone
I can fake with the best of 'em all
I can fake with the best of anyone
I can fake it all
Who's to know if your soul will fade at all
The one you sold to fool the world
You lost your self-esteem along the way
Yeah
Good god you're coming up with reasons
Good god you're dragging it out
Good god it's the changing of the seasons
I feel so raped
Man, follow me down
And just fake it if you're out of direction
Fake it if you don't belong here
Fake it if you feel like affection
Woah you're such a fucking hypocrite
Fake it if you're out of direction
Fake it if you don't belong here
Fake it if you feel like affection
Woah you're such a fucking hypocrite
The lyrics to Seether's song Fake It seem to criticize individuals who use lies and deceit to navigate through their lives. The soul being referred to in the song is a metaphor for oneâs true self or personality and the title means that one must fake their personality to meet the expectations of the world. The chorus is a plea to people who feel lost, directionless or disconnected to fake it and pretend to fit in. The lyrics in the song suggest that the lies wonât hide the flaws of the person and that itâs better to embrace who one is and not be a hypocrite about it.
The lines âGood god youâre coming up with reasons, Good god youâre dragging it out, Good god itâs the changing of the seasons, I feel so rapedâ seem to suggest that the individual being addressed is making excuses for themselves and refusing to own up to their actions. The changing of the seasons could also represent the fact that people go through various phases in their lives but refuse to evolve or improve themselves. The phrase âI feel so rapedâ in the same lines does not refer to actual sexual assault but a feeling of being helpless and out of control.
Overall, the song Fake It seems to encourage individuals to stay true to themselves and avoid pretending to be someone theyâre not. The song highlights the importance of self-esteem and embracing oneself, flaws and all.
