Upon This Dawning Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can not feel the same cause you're just like the others so get the fuck away
Get the fuck out
There's no escape from what you are
(You're alone all alone but it's gonna change)
How can this moment last forever?
Yeah, you know shit
That if your god just had a chance he would sin
When you feel misplaced and you're trying to find the place where you're gonna be safe
Well you must stop to blame it's the life that you wanted so get the fuck away
Get the fuck out
There's no escape from what you are
(You're alone all alone but it's gonna change)
How can this moment last forever?
Show me your guts!
Yeah, you know shit
That if your god just had a chance he would sin
I paid the price to be the way I am
And I won't let my fears get the best of me
Well I don't care to know what you regret
Get the fuck away get the fuck out
Upon This Dawning’s song Fake features lyrics that tell the listener to stop blaming others or feeling ashamed, and instead confront their own reality. The singer of the song is dissatisfied with their surroundings and peers, stating that everyone else is just like them and so they need to “get the fuck away.” The song challenges the listener to confront their feelings head-on, despite the fear or discomfort it may cause, and to stop relying on others for solace or comfort.
The lyrics reflect the band’s overall message of self-empowerment and the importance of being true to oneself. The chorus encourages the listener to “show me your guts” which implies that they need to be brave and honest about who they are and what they want. The line “I paid the price to be the way I am” suggests that the singer has gone through some sort of personal struggle or transformation to become who they are, and they won't let their fears or regrets hinder them from moving forward.
