Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Made us think you really cared feed on money which isn't spared
Fake
Still you try to reiterate fools still cant hear cant change your fate
Out country with a ruined future if you take part in being a ruler
In Varukers's song "Fake," the lyrics critique the insincerity of politicians who make empty promises and use manipulative tactics to garner public support. The lyrics suggest that these politicians do not actually care about the people they claim to represent, but rather are only interested in money and power. The repetitive use of the word "fake" emphasizes the idea that these politicians are not genuine or trustworthy.
The second verse of the song directs the critique towards those who continue to support these fake politicians despite their obvious flaws. The reference to "fools" who cannot hear suggests that these supporters are either blind to the truth or unwilling to acknowledge it. The line "Out country with a ruined future if you take part in being a ruler" is a warning to those who aspire to enter politics themselves. It suggests that if they become complicit in the same manipulations as the politicians the song critiques, they too will contribute to the downfall of society.
Overall, Varukers's "Fake" is a scathing critique of the insincerity and greed that underlies many political systems. The song encourages listeners to be critical of those in power, and to seek out leaders who genuinely care about the people they serve.
