Real Friends, Fake Friends
Navigating Friendship Realities: Real Friends, Fake Friends, and Foes
Lyrics
It’s been a bad week
Expressing a challenging or difficult week.
I’m sitting home on Friday and I’m sober
Being at home on Friday without consuming alcohol, deviating from the norm.
Unusual for me to not tip over
Unusual sobriety, not typical behavior of tipping over.
But I think I am fine
Feeling okay despite the challenges.
I’ve had some tough breaks
Experiencing setbacks or unfortunate events.
Throwing all the teacups and the small plates
Reacting to difficulties by breaking things to feel alive.
Just to feel alive
Emphasizing the need for stimulation or excitement.
But honestly now I’m feeling focused and grounded
Feeling focused and grounded in the present moment.
And if you saw my path you’d be like “baby you found it”
Claiming to have found a positive direction in life.
But I don’t give a damn about your status or your pedigree
Disregarding social status and background.
Put your shit on blast if you think twice you’re not my enemy
Encouraging honesty and openness, revealing flaws.
There’s only real friends, fake friends, foes
Dividing relationships into categories: real friends, fake friends, foes.
And baby you are none of those
Asserting that the person addressed does not fall into any category.
There’s only real friends fake friends foes
Reiterating the categories and emphasizing the negative status.
You’re the worst I know
Explicitly stating that the person is considered the worst.
It’s been a hard year
Reflecting on a challenging year.
I’m sitting home with time to think it over
Contemplating the situation with time for reflection.
You never were my person or my shoulder
Acknowledging that the person was never a reliable support.
But I think that it’s fine
Accepting the situation as it is.
You’ve made some bold moves
Highlighting intrusive actions and inappropriate behavior.
Sneaking your way in where no one wants you
Criticizing the person for imposing themselves where not wanted.
Your narcissism tells you you’re allowed to
Pointing out narcissistic tendencies and self-entitlement.
But I tell you it lies
Challenging the distorted self-perception of the other person.
But honestly now I’m feeling focused and grounded
Expressing a sense of focus and stability in the present.
And if you saw my path you’d be like “baby you found it”
Reiterating the positive trajectory in life.
But I don’t give a damn about your status or your pedigree
Reaffirming the indifference to social status or background.
Put your shit on blast if you think twice you’re not my enemy
Encouraging transparency and accountability for one's actions.
There’s only real friends, fake friends, foes
Repeating the categorization of relationships.
And baby you are none of those
Affirming that the addressed person doesn't fit into any category.
There’s only real friends fake friends foes
Restating the divisions and emphasizing the negative status.
You’re the worst I know
Emphasizing the negative judgment of the person addressed.
And I’m talking to myself because I don’t need that
Choosing self-reflection and independence over negative influences.
I’m falling to the sound of people on my back
Responding to external pressures and criticisms.
I’m letting myself down right when I fall face flat
Acknowledging personal failures and setbacks.
I’m dreaming of my life now can we please go fast
Expressing a desire for a faster-paced life and change.
There’s only real friends, fake friends, foes
Reiterating the categories of relationships.
And baby you are none of those
Affirming that the person addressed doesn't fit into any category.
There’s only real friends fake friends foes
Repeating the divisions and emphasizing the negative status.
You’re the worst I know
Emphasizing the negative judgment of the person addressed.
