Discover the story of the song > Pretend – Alex G

The lyrics are about the protagonist feeling overwhelmed and trying to hide their true self. They talk about wanting to bury someone in their favorite hole and making a mess in the kitchen sink. They mention someone wanting to talk and walk them through something. The protagonist says they don't want to see themselves and instead want to be trapped in the other person. They talk about painting nails and looking for a friend. They mention someone telling them to leave their body and mind. They also talk about being in a room and bed and not being able to hear what someone said. In the end, they say they don't want to be themselves but will pretend for the other person.
