Seether - Fake It

Song: Fake It

Artist: Seether

Album: Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces

Seether is a rock band from South Africa.

Fake It is the first single from Seether's 2007 album Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces. I think the song Fake It is about people (in the music industry or in ordinary life) being fake. The lyrics are calling someone out for being fake. The lyrics refer to the person the song is speaking to as a "hypocrite". I think it's about pretending to be someone you're not to get something. The music video for the song shows the band making a music video, and shows them in an airplane with scantily clad models dancing around, and in the middle of the woods. The video shows that a bunch of stuff in the video is faked by way of green screen, and computer generated imaging. The music is loud, energetic rock n' roll. I love lead singer Shaun Morgan's voice.

"Fake It"

Who's to know if your soul will fade at all
The one you sold to fool the world
You lost your self-esteem along the way
Yeah

[Chorus:]

Good god you're coming up with reasons
Good god you're dragging it out
Good god it's the changing of the seasons
I feel so raped
So follow me down
And just fake it if you're out of direction
Fake it if you don't belong here
Fake it if you feel like affection
Woah you're such a fucking hypocrite

And you should know that the lies won't hide your flaws
No sense in hiding all of yours
You gave up on your dreams along the way
Yeah

[Chorus]

Whoah
Whoah

I can fake with the best of anyone
I can fake with the best of em all
I can fake with the best of anyone
I can fake it all

Who's to know if your soul will fade at all
The one you sold to fool the world
You lost your self-esteem along the way
Yeah

[Chorus]

Fake it if you're out of direction
Fake it if you don't belong here
Fake it if you feel like affection
Woah you're such a fucking hypocrite
