“Play Pretend” is an emotional song about Puppet himself, who believes he can’t sing very well.
However, he overcame his fear, and shows that by singing this song.
Puppet explained the meaning behind this song via Facebook.
One of my biggest insecurities in life is my voice. Not my speaking voice,...
[Verse 1]
"I didn't feel alive," she said
I keep falling through the floor
When do I get to see the world
I've been fighting all these battles for?
Just because I can't sing
Doesn't mean that I can't feel
All my demons, all my everything
Aren't any less real
[Verse 2]
She said "Let's play pretend and live our lives"
We can be who we wanna be
I'll be a singer and you'll be a writer
We'll finally be free
If we're lucky, we'll live together forever
And you'll never have to be
Alone in this world full of bullshit and terror
Without me
[Verse 3]
But, playing pretend isn't always happy
We care, we pretend we don't
If I was a singer, I'd sing to the world
About what hurts me the most
If you were a writer, you could write me a story
And leave out all my regrets
A life full of passion, a life full of glory
It would never have to end
[Outro]
