Fake Frowns

Death Cab for Cutie

Transposer:

Intro Bent at the knees a last resort Backfired and made things worse Once on the bus it was quite possible You’d be the jailhouse queen Jury and judge were screaming to hang You spat the sweat from brow He shrugged his shoulders nothing would work It had to end right now Chorus I can’t drive straight Counting your fake frowns Focusing in details a must Trying to make each one count All on your fingers stopping at ten Magistrate keyed in now Jury and judge were screaming to hang You spat the sweat from brow He shrugged his shoulders nothing would work It had to end right now I can’t drive straight Counting your fake frowns I can’t drive straight Counting your fake frowns ( ) We can’t keep your interest now Increasing pixels and sound We can’t keep your interest now Increasing pixels and sound ( ( ) (2x) Jury and judge were screaming to hang You spat the sweat from brow He shrugged his shoulders nothing would work It had to end right

La chanson évoque un sentiment de désespoir et de lutte face à des circonstances difficiles. L’artiste décrit une scène où la pression extérieure et le jugement des autres pèsent lourdement, tandis qu'il tente de trouver un sens à ces faux sourires qui entourent les relations humaines. Cela représente une quête de sincérité dans un monde souvent superficiel, où chaque faux sourire semble marquer une déception supplémentaire. Dans un contexte de tension et d’incertitude, on ressent l'impuissance ressentie face à des attentes irréalistes. Les métaphores liées à la justice montrent à quel point l'individu se sent acculé, comme s'il devait constamment prouver sa valeur et son authenticité dans un environnement qui ne lui accorde aucun crédit.
