Faking Lyrics

Time never waited
He's not your best friend
Well, you've got to chase it
Inside her eyes, the casino waits.
Would you play now?
She always wins.
Necklace made of lies.
Faking
It seems you've held your own cards tonight.
Faking
It seems you've held your own cards tonight.
Faking
Faking
Pain is like a secret.
You won't tell your god to keep it
When your down and wasted
Inside her eyes, the casino waits.
Would you play now?
She always wins.
Necklace made of lies.
Faking
It seems you've held your own cards tonight.
Faking
It seems you've held your own cards tonight.
Inside her eyes, the casino waits.
Would you play now?
She always wins.
Necklace made of lies.
Faking
It seems you've held your own cards tonight.
Faking

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I simply love Aviv's lyrics because they're so easy to interpret. I think this song is about a girl who's in love with a guy; the boy appears to be in a strong relationship with the girl however like the metaphor within a casino game, she knows she is taking a gamble in loving him because he might be and inevitably is 'faking' his love for her.

"She always wins" - The girl is believing what she wants to believing in this false love "In her eyes the casino waits" - in her mind, she's constantly taking a gamble in loving him

"Necklace made of lies" the guy might have bought her a necklace as a materialistic pawn to try and coax her into falling for his lies.

"It seems you've held your own cards tonight" - the girl may have realised that it really was a gamble and that she had finally lost.

I take my interpretation from my own experiences. I loved a girl who is in a relationship with a guy who is no good at all. He doesn't truly love her yet she blinds herself from the truth and gambles away her heart.
