Fake
Problems or Songs With Lyrics That Confuse Me or I've Had My Ear To
The Soil And I Can't Hear Shit
This
is about a song that I have been obsessed with and it is bugging me
because the lyrics confuse me. I hope I can figure it out, but I
don't want figuring it out to make me stop listening to the song
because that's part of why I like it. Let the story commence. The
other day I had to do a writing assignment for home school and the my
Daily Spark (text book like thing that tells me what to write about,
“write about your most embarrassing moment” blah, blah, blah)
book had boring ass assignments so I improvised. I decided to write
about my favorite album as if I was writing the Guest List for
Alternative Press. Guest List if you don't know, is a column in the
music magazine Alternative Press, where they have musicians from
bands write a short piece on their favorite album. Any way I wrote
about my favorite album, which is Good Charlotte's first album in
case you were wondering. I pretended I was the guitarist for Black
Angels (I am not in a band, but I do play guitar, very badly, the
only thing I can play is an off-beat intro to Brain Stew by Green
Day). I wanted to see if mine was any good so I read previous months
Guest List'. I particularly liked the one by Fake Problems vocalist,
Chris Farren. I liked it because it was really honest, okay maybe the
fact that he is really good looking helped a little. Anywho, (yes I
know it's not a word, shut up this is my blog, if you don't like
made-up words, fuck you get off my blog)I liked it a lot, and it has
my new favorite quote in it, “No, I do not read reviews, No I am
not singing for you”. It's like fuck you society this is my band
and I'm gonna sing what ever the fuck I want! (sorry to any one named
Society, you have a terrible name, I suggest you change it) I also
liked it cause the album he chose has a great name, Lifted Or The
Story Is In The Soil, Keep Your Ear To The Ground. It is an awesome
name!! (fuck you if you don't agree) Why do I like it? Look at the
title of this entry! I love having titles like that! It just rocks!
Okay, I got sidetracked, this is about a song so on with the song!
I
was scrolling through the artists on my I-pod and Fake Problems
jumped out at me and bit my head off. Okay, not really but it caught
my eye, shit now I only have one eye. Sorry, I had to. I thought to
myself
Fake
Problems, do I know them? Oh yeah that one guy who is good looking is
the singer or something. Mhmm, I wonder if they are any good. So
I clicked on it, the song that I apparently obtained was Heartless
from the Warped Tour 2010 Cd. (old yes I know, should have actually
listened to the whole thing, I was bandist and only listened to my
favorite bands (yes bandist, I was prejudiced against the other
bands) yes bad Camille bad, “shame on you, you turned your back on
good bands shame on you” (altered quote from The
Princess Bride)
I am a bad person, go ahead rub it in, feel better now? Okay good on
with the story) Now where was I? Oh yes I'm about to listen to the
song Heartless (I get sidetracked easily sorry *insert sad face here)
I click on it and the song starts. I think Okay
an acoustic song not the best but I can deal the
song continues and my brain explodes and I have an eargasm! Wow!
This song is fucking groovy, I love this, how have I not lisened to
this yet!? It's fucking awesome!! I
let it play and the eargasm continues.

What
does this have to do with anything? Well The lyrics are confusing me!
Is it a love song is? Is it a break up song? Is it both? What the
hell is it?
Here
are the lyrics:
It
was funny at first but now it's, getting old
the way you seem to
reappear, when I start moving on
Well I heard you were at some
parties, getting high with my friends
Okay, maybe it's kinda
funny, you started smoking weed again
Nowadays I get up,
around 8 or 9 'o clock
I've been real productive,
I've been
writing songs,
and I've been singing a lot
Now I don't do half
the stupid things I did behind your back
In fact since you have
been away I've had no use for that
But I've come
dangerously close,
to giving it all up
You know you were the
only one
I didn't pretend to love
Do you
remember when
you were away at school and I was still living with my mom
Do you
remember the things we'd say to each other, over the phone.
One
night you were so drunk that you said you could be with me
forever
and I thought I was so cool when I said "My dear
that'd be my pleasure"
Well, towards the end there, we
really lost our steam
Felt such disconnect from everything, my
sleep, I wouldn't dream
But now I don't feel so damn heartless
anymore,
cause I feel passion I didn't believe in before
and
I'm so glad I do
still believe in you
You know you were the
only one
I didn't pretend to love
you always have nothing
to say
but it's such a beautiful face
I'd say keep in touch,
but I'm sure you won't
make that mistake
(Sorry
if the lyrics are a bit off I tried)
See!
Really amazing but confusing lyrics!
Okay,
so here's what is confusing me:
1)”You
were the only one I didn't pretend to love” Did you love he or hate
her?
2)”But I've come dangerously close to giving it all up”
Giving up what? Moving on? Your music career? Life? Tell me!
I
guess that's all that confused me and if there is something else I
forgot it. =]
Oh and I just found out Chris has a Tumblr so hgxfdhgbhjdihjjk to that and he replied to my tweet so more jkhjjjjhnvbvnzvngxcmnnbnbxbb for that.
Thanks
