Unmasking Deceit: Katie Simpson's 'Fake' Reveals Shadows of Betrayal
Lyrics
Toxic they say, group of 3 becomes a 2
Toxic rumors circulate, a trio becomes a duo.
Shot in the dark, if you pick you are a fool
Taking chances is risky; if you make a choice, you're considered foolish.
Secrets climb like vines breaking through
Secrets spread like invasive vines, breaking through barriers.
Every cold rock upturned, broken becomes a clue
Every hidden truth exposed, shattered pieces become clues.
Feelings bottled like a trap thats bout to blow
Emotions bottled up, ready to explode like a trap.
Darkness creeping upward but they didn't know
Darkness rises unnoticed, catching them off guard.
Hide behind a smile but its a show
Presenting a false front with a smile, a deceptive act.
Think you're sly but i see your footprints in the snow
Claiming cleverness, but evidence is left behind, like footprints in the snow.
You suck her dry like a flame billows smoke
Exploiting someone emotionally, draining them like a flame extinguishing.
Snakes shed their skin, rip it off, sell a joke
Comparing deceptive individuals to shedding snakes, selling falsehoods.
Your disguise won't fool me, makes you easier to find
Disguises are ineffective, making the person easier to identify.
Tell your lies through a screen, i will read between lines
Lies communicated through a screen are deciphered by reading between the lines.
You're a fake
Direct accusation of being fake.
How many friends does it take
Rhetorical question questioning the quantity of friends required to maintain the facade.
You're a fake
Reiteration of calling out the person as fake.
Think you can bend but you'll break
Suggesting the person is inflexible and will eventually break under pressure.
Act like sisters but I hear you whisper in the night
False camaraderie, with whispers betraying the true nature in the night.
Say you play nice but you start and win all of your fights
Pretending to be nice but engaging in and winning fights.
Karmas found your soul, used to be white
Karma has caught up, staining the once pure soul.
You've heard the bark but have never felt the bite
Experienced the bark of consequences but never the bite.
And you'll lay right there on the cold dark ground
Predicting the person's downfall, lying on the cold dark ground.
With a rose between your teeth
Symbolic imagery of someone's demise, holding a rose between their teeth.
Till that fateful day that she comes around and says shes learned to speak
Awaiting the day when consequences arrive and the person learns humility.
You suck her dry like a flame billows smoke
Repetition of emotionally draining others, like a flame producing smoke.
Snakes shed their skin, rip it off, sell a joke
Reiteration of the comparison to shedding snakes and selling deceitful narratives.
Your disguise won't fool me, makes you easier to find
Repeating the ineffectiveness of disguises, making identification easier.
Tell your lies through a screen, i will read between lines
Reiterating the ability to decipher lies communicated through a screen.
You're a fake
Reiteration of labeling the person as fake.
How many friends does it take
Repeat of the rhetorical question about the number of friends needed to maintain the facade.
You're a fake
Reiteration of calling out the person as fake.
Think you can bend but you'll break
Suggesting the person is not adaptable and will eventually break under pressure.
