Fake Plastic Trees
Tokyo Karan Koron Lyrics

The lyrics to Tokyo Karan Koron's cover of Radiohead's "Fake Plastic Trees" focus on the theme of disillusionment with modern life and relationships. The opening lines describe a woman watering her fake rubber plant in plastic earth, which she bought from a rubber man in a town full of rubber plants - highlighting the falseness and superficiality of the world around her. She is worn out by this fake existence and this feeling is mirrored in the broken man she lives with, who used to perform surgery for girls in the 80s but is now mentally and physically broken. The singer of the song is also plagued with a feeling of falseness. He loves this woman, but his love is described as "fake plastic love" and he feels like he's wearing out from the effort of maintaining the facade. He longs to be someone else, to be what she wants him to be, but ultimately he feels like he's drowning in the artificial world they inhabit.

The lyrics to "Fake Plastic Trees" are a commentary on modern society and its obsession with appearances and the superficial. The rubber plants and plastic earth symbolize the artificiality of the world around us and the difficulty of finding something real and genuine. In this world, relationships are often based on superficial attraction rather than real connection, and people are pressured to be someone they're not in order to fit in. The woman in the song is tired of this false existence and the singer is struggling to maintain a relationship in this artificial world. Ultimately, the song is a lament for the loss of authenticity and the difficulty of finding genuine connection in a world dominated by the fake and the superficial.
