So, guys, we're on the 10th week of the work of my so-called weekly rubric "Soundtracks For My Books". And I am happy to introduce another song written by me. It's time to check out the song called "Fake Side Of Mine" which became the soundtrack for "The Secrets Hidden In The Scars", Book 3 from the "Stronger Together" series.
In my previous post that was dedicated to the song "Reason To Live", I said that the song "Fake Side Of Mine" would be about one of the characters, who was pretending to be someone not him when he appeared in the books for the first time. Originally, this song was supposed to become the personal theme of the character, but since he grows up and changes through time, he is going to have a different theme that you will get a little later. The lead character of "The Secrets Hidden In The Scars" really wants to tell everyone the truth about him, but something does not let him do it. This endless flow of lies forces him to hide in his cocoon and suffer from the wish to let himself be him and release the personality that he is trying to hide so hard. But by playing a game that many people do not understand, wishing to get some attention, and getting into trouble like this, he cannot finish everything by just clicking his finger.
[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse]
I walk by my reflection
I see someone not me
Gotta make a confession
I just wanna set me free
But I got lost in the world of lie
Can’t rise and float like a butterfly
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I don’t feel like it’s really me
It’s not the one I’m supposed to be
I wanna live with what I was given
It’s time to show you what’s hidden
Underneath my skin
[Chorus]
The fake side of mine
It’s awake all day, all night
I’m sick of this masquerade
(Sick of this masquerade)
The character that I made up
Regretting the mission I started
All I really wanted
Is to win everybody’s trust
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
People don’t even guess
They don’t see the real me
It feels like a real stress (stress)
Lookin’ for a way to break free (break free)
For a chance to unlock my heart
Can’t finish the game I almost lost (oh, oh, oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
How do I become myself again?
How do I get outta this hurricane?
(I’m a hurricane)
I try so hard to hold myself down
Not to say I’ve always been around
Under a secret mask
[Chorus]
The fake side of mine
It’s awake all day, all night
I’m sick of this masquerade
(Sick of this masquerade)
The character that I made up
Regretting the mission I started
All I really wanted
Is to win everybody’s trust
[Bridge]
I’m dying of the wish to open all the cards
To tell you all the truth and take you in my arms
To fix my mistakes and get rid of my trouble
I’m done with living in this freaking bubble
With a thirst for someone’s attention
[Breakdown]
Oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
The fake side of mine
(Fake side of mine)
It’s awake all day, all night
(All day, all night)
I’m sick of this masquerade
(Sick of this masquerade)
The character that I made up
Regretting the mission I started
(Should’ve never wanted)
All I really wanted
Is to win everybody’s trust
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Post-Chorus]
The fake side of mine
(Fake side of mine)
(Fake side of mine)
Sick of this masquerade
(This masquerade)
[Outro]
I wanna live with what I was given
It’s time to show you what’s hidden
Underneath my skin (underneath my skin)
Notes:
And this twist of events was not added originally, I came up with it after one of the latest editing. If you follow my posts, you may remember that I told you about my wish to rewrite one storyline in the books "The Broken Hearts Story" and "The Secrets Hidden In The Scars". So, I changed the line of this character, who originally introduced himself by his real name, but who is hiding it now and pretending to be another man, making people suspect something and have more and more questions every day. However, then and now, this character always tries to get someone's attention and tries to make people and himself sure that he is not an insecure boy with lots of complexes and mental issues that he got after the dark secret that he is now trying to hide so hard because he is afraid of being judged by them.
Well, I think I will go to keep working on Book 5 and getting ready to publish the next song, which is going to be the lead soundtrack of "The Secrets Hidden In The Scars".
