New NIPPON BoyZ - FAKE

Lyrics by @sakisongs An experimental song by my fictive Boyz Enjoy the experiments I do right now... :D _____________ Weiter geht es mit ‚FAKE‘. Das ist ein Song über extremes Maskieren. Man verstellt sich so lange und so tief für andere, bis man sich am Ende selbst nicht mehr im Spiegel wiedererkennt. Du funktionierst nur noch, fühlst dich in deiner eigenen Haut überhaupt nicht mehr wohl und verlierst komplett den Bezug zu dem, wer du eigentlich bist _____________ Moving on to ‚FAKE‘. This song is all about extreme masking. You put on a fake persona for so long just to please others, until you don't even recognize yourself in the mirror anymore. You are just functioning through the day, feeling completely uncomfortable in your own skin, and losing your true self. _____________ FAKE Takumi: I see my shadow moving on its own Feels like I’m watching someone I don’t know Every smile I wear is borrowed Every truth I speak feels hollow I learned to breathe inside a lie ’Cause honesty was never safe to try People say they want the real me But turn away the moment they see Jay: I keep my heartbeat under glass So no one hears it when it cracks I’m standing here but out of place A ghost that learned to copy my face Takumi: Tell me why I fade Every time I try to stay Tell me why I break When I’m supposed to be okay Alle: I feel so fake Like I’m made of borrowed skin Like I’m living someone else’s sin I feel so fake Every word I try to say Turns into another mask I made I feel so fake And I don’t know who I am today Sak: I’m stitched together from expectations Built from pressure and imitation Every compliment feels like a threat ’Cause they praise a version I never met Jay: I’m tired of being what they need A perfect shape that makes me bleed If truth is something I can’t show Then who the hell am I supposed to be now Takumi: I trace the outline of my name But every letter feels the same Like someone wrote it in my place And left me trapped inside the space Jay: I try to scream but nothing moves My voice is stuck between the truths I want to live without the shame Of being real and taking blame Takumi: Tell me why I fade Every time I try to stay Tell me why I break When I’m supposed to be okay Alle: I feel so fake Like I’m made of borrowed skin Like I’m living someone else’s sin I feel so fake Every word I try to say Turns into another mask I made I feel so fake Takumi: And I don’t know who I am today Takumi: If I tear away the layers Would anyone remain? If I show the part that trembles Would you still say my name? Sak: Or would you run Like everyone Who loved the mask Takumi: But not the one Behind it Alle, Takumi Outro Verse: I feel so fake But maybe breaking is the start Of finding what’s beneath the scars I feel so fake But if I lose this borrowed face Maybe I can finally take my place I feel so fake But maybe that’s the price I pay To find myself someday
