Fuckboy

FLETCHER's song "Fuckboy" delves into the complex emotions and self-awareness of someone who recognizes their own destructive patterns in relationships. The song opens with a vivid scene of a Saturday night, where the protagonist is surrounded by past lovers, creating a metaphorical 'graveyard' of failed relationships. This setting immediately sets the tone for a candid exploration of the protagonist's behavior and its impact on others. The repeated encounters with exes who confront the protagonist with the truth about their actions serve as a catalyst for self-reflection.

The chorus poses a series of rhetorical questions that reveal the protagonist's internal struggle. They question whether they are a 'fuckboy' because they never stay, only call late at night, and seem to cause emotional pain to their partners. This self-doubt is further emphasized by the protagonist's acknowledgment of their actions, such as breaking hearts in different cities and affecting both girls and boys. The mention of their 'Gemini Moon' adds a layer of astrological self-justification, hinting at a deeper search for understanding their behavior.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's self-awareness grows. They admit to holding people close and saying 'I love you' without truly knowing if they mean it, highlighting a pattern of emotional manipulation. The song concludes with a moment of solitude on a warm December night, where the protagonist reflects on their current state of preferring to be alone. This ending suggests a glimmer of hope for change, as the protagonist contemplates the possibility of waking up one day and becoming a 'perfect gentleman.' Until then, they resign themselves to the label of a 'fuckboy,' fully aware of the pain they have caused and the personal growth they have yet to achieve.
