Hey There!
As far as I know, I believe that I discovered Fake immediately after listening to Atmosphere by Shinedown, because around January 2015, I had been listening to Shinedown's full album of Us And Them. Us And Them really got me through all of my dreadful coursework that I had to do for IT, and everytime that I hear the full album again and again, it will always remind me of the old times that I spent in IT, and how much I do miss those times!
My favourite part of Fake by far is between 2:24 and 2:28 seconds, where there is a rock guitar playing on it's own, and to me, it just seems so powerful. I remember after I had only heard this album once or twice, and I had that little section of the song circling around in my head for ages. I could not think for the life of me where it was from, but eventually, I was able to replay more and more of the song in my head, until eventually, I could recall that it was Fake by Shinedown. Now, everytime that I know the song is building up to this section, I have to stop, and really listen carefully so that I don't miss anything!
I feel that Fake really fits in with the whole theme of the Us And Them album, but as well, the meaning behind it is a similar like the meanings of For My Sake and Enemies, so once again, here is another Shinedown song that I can always relate to. It kind of shows a person, who has to pretend to be someone else to be able to fit in with their surroundings. However, at some point, their past breaking point, and they cannot push themselves any further, if you understand. I always seem to pair up Atmosphere and Fake together, and I'm also quite familiar with the demo versions too!
As much as I do love Fake, I somehow doubt that I will be able to play the song on guitar because it does look very complicated, and way past my capacity. But anyway, I hope that you enjoyed reading this post, and remember that you can read some f my earlier posts if you like!
I'll see you all next Thursday!

P.S. I'll leave the lyrics to Fake below incase you're interested!
This place has begun to cover me
I recall the light, but the dark smothers me
I prefer the feelings I know right now
I don't worry about feeling very proud
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I'm open for a new way
Because there's not much more that I can fake
It's almost seeing your soul for the first time
And watching the mirror show you life in rewind
Capture the ridicule of everyone
I'm tired of trying, and they wonder why I'm gone
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I'm open for a new way
Because there's not much more that I can fake
I can't fake it
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I'm open for a new way
Because there's not much more that I can fake
But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I'm open for a new way
Because there's not much more that I can fake
I recall the light, but the dark smothers me
I prefer the feelings I know right now
I don't worry about feeling very proud
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I'm open for a new way
Because there's not much more that I can fake
It's almost seeing your soul for the first time
And watching the mirror show you life in rewind
Capture the ridicule of everyone
I'm tired of trying, and they wonder why I'm gone
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I'm open for a new way
Because there's not much more that I can fake
I can't fake it
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I'm open for a new way
Because there's not much more that I can fake
But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I'm open for a new way
Because there's not much more that I can fake
