Fake to be alive
Solar Fake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And let's cross the red line
No more worries, the world's no longer blurry
Let's just cut through the wrong connections that pursued us in our whole life
Let me take your best knife
And the sun will rise when the city awakes from the dead of the night
And the bars cast shadows on my face
Save me, get me out and then break me
I'm so proud of you
Take me somewhere I can fake to be alive
Save me from myself and then break me
Well, I don't care but please take me
Somewhere I can fake to be alive
I've been waiting, I'm so tired of stating
When will you come around here and take me home
Further into the pit of mankind we grew
But you're out and I bleed
I don't care as much as it seems
And the sun will rise when the city awakes from the dead of the night
Still sitting here in chains
The lyrics of Solar Fake's song Fake to Be Alive are a reflection of the singer's desperation to break free from the monotonous and meaningless life. It is an invitation to cross the "red line", to let go of the worries and blurry nature of the world and cut through the wrong connections that have pursued us throughout our lives. The singer wants to take his partner's best knife and break free from the chains that are keeping him in a state of captivity. The lines "Save me, get me out and then break me, take me somewhere I can fake to be alive" depict the singer's desire to escape from their current life, even if it means faking it for a while until they can figure out their next steps.
The mention of the sun rising when the city awakes from the dead of the night paints a picture of hope and new beginnings, of a future that is yet to unfold. The shadow cast on the singer's face by the bars signify the barriers and limitations that he is trying to break free from. The use of the word "fake" throughout the song is powerful because it calls attention to the fact that this desire to break free is not necessarily a desire to be completely authentic, but rather to escape the current circumstances and start anew.
Overall, the song is a powerful representation of the human need for change, for breaking free from our regular routines and circumstances, and the desire to start anew. It's a song that speaks to the inner rebel in all of us, the part of us that wants to take risks, break rules and be free.

Hope for a new beginning
Further into the pit of mankind we grew
We have been consumed by society's negative aspects
But you're out and I bleed
Comparison of speaker's struggles to helper's freedom
I don't care as much as it seems
Speaker's true apathy for their own well-being
And the sun will rise when the city awakes from the dead of the night
Hope for a new start
Still sitting here in chains
The artist is still trapped
