FIRST AID KIT

- Master Pretender Lyrics

Never thought that I was weak
Always thought I could get hurt pretty bad
Still get up on my own two feet

I always believed that I was free
That I had some sense of integrity
That would rise above whatever tried to change me

But honey, now I won't wait
For something to bring me round and smile
'Cause that only stock for a while
Then I'm back again

Oh, I'm a master pretender

I always knew that I was young
But with a head held high and a shotgun
I could fool almost anyone

I never expected to be struck
By the fatal hands of fortune or by sheer bad luck
Now we won't change
And memories just rearrange
And fall into place
So I'm back again

Oh, I'm a master pretender

All the streets of new york city
Sure look pretty from way up here
And I was headed home, just found more alone
The further I'd go

I always thought that you'd be here
But shit gets f*cked up and people just disappear

So honey, now, don't be mad
Time has told me it can't be that bad
And if it is, well, big goddamn but I'll stick around

I'll be your master defender
Yeah, I'll stick around
I'll be your master defender

The imagery of master pretender is thus a paradoxical statement. On the one hand, it represents an individual who puts on a front to deal with his or her problem and the chaos around him or her. On the other hand, it reveals the inward battle between showing power and admitting weakness. The lyrics of Master Pretender are mainly reflecting, showing agony, loneliness, heartbreak, and despair.
