He said for me to call you
You said, "Come over right away"
Demanded
"Don't you take all day
Because I've been waiting for you
I hope that you don't mind
I'm lookin' like a Valentine
We can be so discreet
When the act is black you'll remember me
We can be so discreet
Living fiction
With me
You'll be
Fiction"
I spoke his name
You asked me, "Do I bore you?"
"Twice as much as an earthquake"
I explained
"Just unlock your hands
And I will place them for you" (for you)
You promised, "You'll be fine
I've done this more than a thousand times
We can be so discreet
When the act is black you'll remember me
We can be so discreet
Living fiction
No one would ever dream
With the lights up high that you'd choke my scream
We can be so discreet
Living fiction"

The lyrics to Blaqk Audio's "Everybody's Friends" are a reflection on a partner's infidelity and willingness to participate in secretive encounters with someone else. The chorus, "We can be so discreet, living fiction," communicates the idea of being secretive while engaging in an illicit affair. The singer's partner leaves to meet the other person, and the singer is then instructed to come over quickly while being told not to take too much time. It's as though the partner wants to keep the relationship with both their partner and the other person a secret, and so they insist on a hasty arrival.
The second verse showcases the singer's vulnerability and hesitation towards going through with the encounter. They admit that the idea of cheating on their partner bores them, but the singer of the song convinces them to go through with it anyway. The lyrics "With the lights up high that you'd choke my scream" are particularly vivid and describe the idea of keeping the encounter quiet and under wraps. The phrase "living fiction" describes the idea of keeping everything hidden and secretive, as though the whole thing is just a made-up story.
Overall, the song is a reflection on infidelity and the idea of living a life full of secrets and lies. It showcases the idea that people can be friends to everyone's face, but behind closed doors, they carry on with affairs and betray their partners.
