Ok, so. I mad an account on here just to review this song because I think it's such a great opening piece for Synthetica and I related to it as soon as the first verse finished. Also Metric is amazing.
"I'm just as fucked up as they say / I can't fake the daytime"
to me, it admitting you're really as and deranged and out of place as society keeps telling you. so much so, it gets increasingly difficult to feign happiness or to pretend that you belong with others during the day.
"Found an entrance to escape into the dark / Got false lights for the sun"
finding an escape (sleep) in the darker recesses of your mind where you can visualize your own sun/your own happiness despite it not being reality (false lights).
"It's an artificial nocturne / It's an outsider's escape for a broken heart"
once again, the escape to your fictional dreamscape (artificial nocturne). you feel like an outsider when you're awake so you when you sleep you can escape and pretend, if only for a while, that you're not a broken and sad as you are when awake.
"We hide out in the back
Like shadows in a stranger's dream
Hiding out in the back together
Hiding out in the back forever"
this one, I'm not so sure about. you could hiding out in the back of your mind with your dreams. the "together" part could be referring to involving people in your life in your dreams how you would wish them to be and the "forever" part makes me think of either sleeping for days on end or possibly dying in your sleep to escape "forever".
"I'll make / All that I believe / In dreams / So real / Faith I have to take the call / Faith don't fail me now"
basically having so much faith in your dream world that it feels real to you. especially if you "make all that you believe" in your dreams so the better it feels for you the more you want it to be.
"I'll make / All that I believe / I set myself free / So take all the time you need / And let yourself be"
"set[ting] yourself free" makes me think of dying again. although a much simpler take could be just feeling more like yourself and being able to imagine who you truly are in your dreams. you give yourself so much time to sleep and dream (take all the time you need) so you reassure yourself that it's fine to cope with the day like this and "let yourself be".
I got a little misty-eyed when I first heard this song because I spend a lot of my free time sleeping for the very same reasons.
