The Hails's song 'Fake A Frown' is about the confusion and uncertainty that comes with love. The lyrics express the speaker's desire for their love interest and their fear of not receiving that love in return. The opening lines, "In spite of my senses, these feelings need undressing," highlight the speaker's confusion as their emotions are conflicting with their logical thinking. They want and need the love of their interest, but they are unsure if that love is reciprocated. The chorus, "Just my luck, I can hardly tell you what defines my love, Reason or delusion might be just enough, Just enough to make me satisfied," shows the speaker's uncertainty about their own emotions. They are unsure if their love is based on rational or irrational reasons, but they know that they are willing to settle for anything that makes them feel satisfied. The second verse continues to express the speaker's uncertainty about their love interest and their relationship's direction. The line, "Distant eyes, we just can't find our balance, Should we even try? Guess we'll never know," shows the disconnect between the speaker and their love interest and their inability to find a solution. The bridge, "Fake a frown, try to make it look realistic, Look around, soak it in before you've missed it, Take it down, not that you ever predicted, I've forgotten what we're fighting for," suggests that the speaker may be putting on a front to try and hide their true emotions. They are also reflecting on the difficulties they are facing in their relationship and questioning if it's worth fighting for. Overall, 'Fake A Frown' is a relatable song for anyone who has experienced confusion and uncertainty in their romantic relationship.
