about

False Hearted is about fake friends and broken promises. It’s about feeling deceived and betrayed by people you trust. The overarching theme is feeling a need for vengeance after the realization that they feel no remorse for the hurt they’ve caused. The line “You’d empty me and I would let you” acknowledges my role in allowing this to happen, and this realization shapes the way I interact with people in hopes of protecting myself from further betrayal.

I added many layers and buildups in the song to give it an aggressive feel. Some of the production characteristics of this song were inspired by listening to Pierce the Veil. The stark bass line leading up to the scream is loosely inspired by Rage Against the Machine. In the studio, I added more monotone audio effects to my vocals in the verse to further contrast with the heavy hitting, open choruses.

lyrics

I peel my nails back til they’re bleeding
Your method acting is quite deceiving
I rip my hair out to feel something
My friend you are nothing

You’d empty me and I would let you
You take me down and I’ll take you too

You waste of space
I gave you all I had to give
If I meant nothing to you why did you insist
It’s far too late to change your mind
What’s won is won
Open your eyes and take a look at what you’ve done

And I aided your selfish apathy
Recalling such consumes me
Worthless daughter
Scheming mother
My friend I hope you suffer

You’d empty me and I would let you
You take me down and I’ll take you too

You waste of space
I gave you all I had to give
If I meant nothing to you why did you insist
It’s far too late to change your mind
What’s won is won
Open your eyes and take a look at what you’ve done

You waste of space
I gave you all I had to give
If I meant nothing to you why did you insist
It’s far too late to change your mind
What’s won is won
Pry your eyes open
Take a look at what you’ve done
