Fake Divine

Hyde's song 'Fake Divine' delves into the struggle of maintaining one's integrity and faith in the face of manipulation and deceit. The lyrics convey a sense of betrayal and disillusionment, as the protagonist grapples with external forces that seek to undermine their beliefs and values. The repeated lines 'Destroying my faith' and 'Offending my ways' highlight the emotional turmoil and resistance against being coerced into playing a game that goes against their principles.

The chorus, with its poignant questions 'Will I be forced away' and 'Will I be fading out with nothing,' reflects the internal conflict of the protagonist. They are fighting to stay true to themselves, yet they feel the pressure and uncertainty of their situation. The phrase 'I'm gonna fake divine and save myself this time' suggests a strategy of pretending to conform while secretly preserving their own sense of self. This act of 'faking divine' can be seen as a metaphor for finding a way to navigate through deceit without losing one's core identity.

The song also touches on themes of resilience and self-preservation. Despite the external pressures and the feeling of being 'teased on and on,' the protagonist is determined to 'fight to stay.' The lyrics 'So wrong so wrong, I'm gonna hate you for the time' and 'I thought you're right, but still, I'll find my ways' indicate a realization of the falsehoods they have been subjected to and a resolve to find their own path. The song ultimately portrays a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, where the protagonist learns to protect their inner strength and faith amidst adversity.
