Fake Dangerous
Illusions Unveiled: Decoding Charlie Foxtrot's 'Fake Dangerous'
Lyrics
What's the use believing
Questioning the value of belief
What we 'ready know is true?
Doubting what is already accepted as truth
I'm stubborn as a monkey
Describing stubbornness
And I'm clever as a mule
Highlighting cleverness
Oh I steal what I've been given
Taking advantage of what's given
And I always leave the take
Taking without reciprocating
So any step I take surrounding me
Suggesting all actions result in mistakes
Is always a mistake
Constantly feeling surrounded by mistakes
He says "don't do nothing you'll regret"
Advice against regretful actions
And she says "don't do nothing"
Reiteration of advice against regret
And they argue for millennia
Depiction of perpetual arguments
Believing they did something
Belief in accomplishment despite arguments
I demand pure sacrifice
Insistence on pure sacrifice
No worn imperfect bride
Desire for perfection
So any soil where I plant my flag
Feeling misplaced regardless of efforts
Is always the wrong side
Sense of always being on the wrong side
Oh, what's wrong with us?
Questioning inherent flaws
Oh, fake dangerous
Describing a situation as falsely dangerous
A bird inside a cage
Metaphorical confinement
A bird in a cage
Reflecting on a consistent metaphor
Must've always been a metaphor
Commentary on the overuse of clichés
Always a cliché
Suggesting futile problem-solving
Oh we're solving all our problems
Solving issues only to face emptiness
'Til we're left alone and bored
Emptiness after addressing problems
Now there's only hollow animals
Sense of lacking fulfillment
And never a reward
Perception of no positive outcomes
Oh, what's wrong with us?
Questioning inherent flaws (repeated)
Oh, fake dangerous
Describing a situation as falsely dangerous (repeated)
Seven letters for an 80-digit girl
Using letters to describe a complex person
Show her a picture when she wants to see the world
Desire for exploration and understanding
Build a roof above the floor
Building something that fails
And then get mad when all your seedlings fail to sprout
Frustration over failed efforts
Save your top speed for your worst knees
Saving energy for challenging times
Stop the clock and watch your pennies all fall out
Loss despite efforts to save
Oh, what's wrong with us?
Questioning inherent flaws (repeated)
Oh, fake dangerous
Describing a situation as falsely dangerous (repeated)
Oh, what's wrong with us?
Questioning inherent flaws (repeated)
Oh, fake dangerous
Describing a situation as falsely dangerous (repeated)
