Faker & Black Sun WITH LYRICS | FNF Vs. Sonic.EXE Cover

[@reesewhittington6778]

"Face your fears and I'll face mine" is such an unintentionally terrifying statement for Faker to say because realistically, what the _fuck_ would something like *him* be afraid of? The mirror?

[@Tiredartist9552]

Could be related to something with his lore Because doesn’t it have something to do with being a lord x creation?

"Fear eigengrau" is genuinely one of the most unique lines of this cover, saying it's the fear of true darkness, or at least what im interpreting it as.

[@churgneygurgney9895]

Excellently done, thank ue : )

[@sorengaming1541]

It's basically the nothing you see when you close your eyes. In other words, **deth**

[@cyberprime9355]

"Eigengrau" can also be known as "Eigenlicht" which means brain gray. Something that only comes from true darkness in regards to eyesight.

[@Somirage143]

I was gonna comment this, but it seems I was beat to the finish line.

[@dylanobrien3785]

Eigengrau is not a cliche "true darkness". It's the lighter version of black that you see when in darkness or when you close your eyes. I see two possible interpretations of this line 1. Faker has a very pessimistic view of the world, as he sees the world as corrupted by monsters (exes) and terror. This means Eigrengrau isn't about darkness at all, rather about fearing the grim truth of his world. 1. This line could also be referring to death, as "fearing eigengrau" would translate to "fear the darkness of death". This would also make sense, since Faker is portrayed as only doing anything he must to survive

[@madrabbitvideos3311]

I fucking adore the interpretation of EXE here. He sounds like some sort of preacher or cult leader trying to reign you in with getting inside your head via double-negatives and making you question your identity when in Faker form, then when shedding the disguise, just giving you the cold hard truth about how the world is and how it's live or die. He sounds so...Human. The demonic, violent tall as fuck hedgehog creature sounds *human,* in the way he speaks. He sounds so utterly sincere and it's so *surreal.* I hope we'll hear more lyrical stuff and original songs from you soon!

[@churgneygurgney9895]

There it is, Excellent

[@RegalRoyalWasTaken]

It's an interesting take for sure. It's hard to say whether he's good or evil. He just... *is.*

[@nota444tm2]

i always imagined xenophanes to be the cult leader and deity. of course..he's a manchild with a temper..but he has god powers. so it's worship him as a reanimated carcass. EXE is more of the type to pull you in. and if you have any positivity...you are killed. but if you have his views, he spares you.. but he won't shut up about his viewing of survival of the fittest.

[@Feefurd09]

In my eyes he's doing s9mething evil to do something good, like a anti hero, if that makes sense

[@AwesomeGamer-om4hm]

Fittingly, EXE's old lore had him lead his own cult, but Revie recently retconned it.

[@cyberprime9355]

This version of "Faker" is perhaps the best depiction out of all of them, not due to a power threshold, but simply since it is like a two-pronged existential attack...but not without spots of hope. The "Faker" is essentially taking what you know and laying out elements of reality. Specifically, the "individual", on a personal level to ease them into listening to him. The tall and lanky "True" form is, all things considered, ruthless in its words and tone. It is illuminating the addictive poison of the world around you, using Krokodil of all things to elaborate. Side Note:"Krokodil" is an extremely powerful and addicting opiate that, upon injection into the skin, results in a form of scaly necrosis of the human skin usually as a black or grayish green and causes it to peel or fall off, hence its name. Furthermore, it knows that deep within each person is a primal, vicious desire. It may not be immediate nor may it be too long, it is inevitable either way. But, he doesn't see any reason to kill because of it, but instead ask you to try and fail. Confront the truth as fearful as it is and stop trying to indulge your delusions....upgrade and innovate as much as possible. It is also imperative that through such upgrades and innovations that you don't just survive, but live. You survive for now, or die today. Lose sight of the point in exchange for a banal present or seemingly needless banter Regardless, Faker is actually trying to help you realize that being stubborn and seeing everything is normal while also deluding yourself is as dangerous as the demons themselves. This is to the point you are a zombie to society. Just waltzing and shifting around, an insignificant and unremarkable creature. In short: Don't fear the unpredictability of Life, Fear the artificial banality that accompanies a comforting lie. Especially the ones you tell yourself.

[@crazygermanguy]

"Krokodil" is also a germany word, in english it means "Crocodile".

[@snuuzzyy]

I would say "It's not that deep, bro", but this was such a flawless explanation. 😂❤

[@zebaguettefromfrance1287]

In this case faker's design gets a whole new meaning the first phase is uncanny it feels wrong and fake and represent the lies we tell ourselves and the second is downright monstrous, despite this it encourages you to better yourself and be the best you you can be, to emancipate yourself from the system and stop fearing failure. In this interpretation faker is a mirror of ourselves or more accurately a personification of our ambitions and our hopes the ones society and our own subconscious have taught us to demonize and fear in exchange for banal conformity. He's the truth we don't want to see and the necessary evil we're unwilling to commit to. In short we're projecting on him he even calls this out "naught but false to think that I'm fake" "-fact the fake here might be you" he's the truth we've learn to fear the spark of ambition and innovation.

[@emilllyyyyy_]

Stuff I noticed: "This land is divided, they need someone they can confide in" is a reference to Nominal Dingus' cancelled Faker lyrics "And it's all divided, now they have no one to confide in" (I wrote Nominal's lyrics from memory they might be wrong) "Our Midas made a light to overcome the darkest fires" Midas is a reference to the story of King Midas, the king who turned everything he touched into gold. The line probably has to due with the title Black Sun, it shines light despite being dark, which explains the phrase "darkest fires" "'Till titans carry the world asunder" is a possible reference to Greek mythology. My knowledge on it is a bit rusty but I believe titans were the first generations of gods who were overthrown by Zeus, and if they were to be released from their prison they'd destroy the world. Again my knowledge is rusty so I could be wrong. "Put krokodil, straight into your veins" Krokodil is kind of drug, if injected into your skin it leads to limb amputation and death, with many side effects before that happens "In this fight between the good and evil, let me tell you now that I am neither" is a reference to Sayo's Black Sun lyrics, "In this dance of good and evil I am neither!" "Timeless, spineless, paradigmless" For anyone who doesn't know what it means, paradigmless is a typical example of a pattern "Face your fears and I'll face mine" idk if this is a reference to anything, but the line feels so familiar to me "Fear eigengrau" Eigengrau is a dark grey that can be seen in perfect darkness as a result of singals from the optic nerves I probably missed some stuff lol, I love these lyrics so much, they get so creative like with the krokodil and eigengrau lines. If you have more fnf lyrics planned then I'd be happy to see them. I didn't watch this with expectations but if I did then you would've definitely exceeded them.

"Our Midas" refers to just a general "got everything they wanted but fell due to it" type beat people, just thought I would tell you Te He !

[@galaxyknight2869]

This ain't even A TAKE on lyrics, this better be canon man, like I'm going to riot just to vote to make these THE canonical lyrics to Black sun at least, forget literally every other take on this. This is so good, I can finally be at peace and forget about what could've been with Nominal's unfinished Black Sun and Faker songs. Side note I LOVE the detail that even after transforming, he doesn't refer directly to HIMSELF as the "Terror" or "Monster" in the situation, kinda leading on that he isn't the evil one in the situation, that he only stands in the middle, as if presenting himself as a solution, or an equal balancing force beyond the scope of good and evil. I love the idea of an EXE that blurs the line like this, he's not the hero fighting some monster, but he's also not the villain or a monstrous embodiment of death and evil. He is just that, that enigmatic middle ground.

[@thelonecourier3439]

[@LordSeraph999]

@@volnartheunforgiving3952 Allow me to explain: "Our Midas made a light to overcome the darkest fires, yet in time all of our minds bend to our worst desires." The human race is not unfamiliar to dark things, many people in this modern day and age can't help but give in to the darkest desires their mind has. Rape, grooming, murder, many things that are horrible, yet are still being committed to this day. "Freakish terrors, they come out at night, giving way to fear. They take the names that sound the same incanting terrible tears of thunder. Raining upon the land killing blows, ringing all throughout the planet's ears it's all they hear till titans carry the world asunder." I suppose it's in reference to how modern rulers of the world are stepping dangerously close to M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction.) which would cause the death of nearly every being on earth. And whatever survived would also have to deal with the nuclear wasteland it brings afterword. "Put krokodil, straight into your veins, watch it take all the skin off your body!" Krokodile is what's referred to as "The poor man's heroin" and drug usage is how many people cope with things such as anxiety or depression. "Waters of old, resurface anew, pouring out memories made, Precipitate. Drink them and the clocks count down to bells and needles, numbers turn out mellowed evils." The powerful people are those with money, and the most dangerous people are those with power. "Earthly powers out of place are fit to crumble the land, make defaced." As humanity evolves, it's entirely possible that we could be the cause of our own destruction." "Through the fire, unrecalling, redesigning, overhauling, see that greater power calling to see to it that you'll stop falling." As machines advance, the world slowly crumbles around us. Meanwhile, we focus on our machines, Unrecalling, Redesigning, Overhauling, and those who call out to god are left with nothing but the emptiness of the lack thereof. I could continue if you'd like, but I'm lazy.

This is probably one of my favorite FNF with lyrics vids ever. EXE's voice during Faker is so pleasant to listen to. Not to mention the idea of him gaslighting you is such a good idea. I love how he tries to instill doubt in BF's mind by calling HIM a fake. Not to mention EXE's true form sounding almost exactly like his chromatic. Overall a phenomenal cover. Was not expecting something like this from you, but it's definitely a welcome surprise.

[@killercross9929]

This the cleanest I’ve heard of Faker in BOTH of its songs! Smooth chromatics and in tune! The fast bits are quick and slap hard! I find it somewhat funny yet interesting that Faker is being wise and gives an almost satire tone where he’s not actually here to kill but to warn and advise. “Clocks run down to bells and needles, numbers turn out mellowed evils, earthly powers out of place are fit to crumble defaced.” “Make defaced, through the fire unrecalling, redesigning overhauling see that greater power calling to see it that you’ll stop falling.”

I like how the lyrics for faker is just EXE trying to trick bf into trusting him. Adds to the whole “somethings not right here” vibe that the song has. I also enjoy how EXE slowly becomes passive aggressive as the song goes on. That art kicks ass too I love it so much.

OMG THIS IS SO GOOD! From the anime-like thumbnail to the unique take you went with for these lyrics. They really make you question what Faker/EXE's true intentions are and flesh-out their personalities a lot more. Really great lyrics, can't wait to see what else you make.

I clicked on this expecting to be disappointed in one of my favourite composers, and came out of it with new revived faith in FNF lyrical covers. This is a fucking masterpiece and I cannot stop listening to it. You NEVER miss, man.

[@CyclesOfDoom]

A fnf lyrical adaptation by churgney is something I never knew I needed. This was definitely a pleasant surprise to see in my notifications, and a different take on these songs along with your immaculate vocabulary truly made for a great lyrical cover. Looking forward to seeing more of such videos, if you have any more planned that is!

Good lord this is a banger! I've noticed multiple allusions/references to other Blacksun + faker Covers, like the "Divided and Confide" part is a reference to MaimyMayos scrapped Faker cover, and the "I am Neither" part is clearly a reference to Sayos cover of BlackSun. Not sure if there are anymore, but those were the two most noticeable ones. Outstanding performance!

[@limedemon2244]

Faker here...isn't just an exe he's a reminder that we need to better ourselves in this world otherwise we'll fall and not into the best paths, I sort of paid attention to the lyrics a little bit, and EXE isn't just something made for evil if anything he's somebody who's trying to help us all live our best lives, by telling us we need to get better, not just for the sake of us but for the sake of those people who meet us and love us the way that they do honestly I couldn't have worded it any other way.

[@Blaze-vm8ty]

You know, i just happened to randomly stumble upon this and i must say that i instantly loved it. I'd say that it definitely deserves that top 3 ranking in FNF lyrics videos out there, very high chances that it'd actually get the first place too! But first it's because Faker/EXE is honestly also my favourite version of Sonic out there and so are his songs. Black sun is a total banger in my opinion and how the instrumental sounds like it's a do or die situation', simply perfection. Second is how the lyrics just manage to get so deep, like, i expected something awesome, but i did not expect it to be THAT awesome, it's extremely motivating in a way, how it reminds you that it's never too late and if you wanna do better in life then it straight up tells you the hard but real cold truth, no sugar coating it at all, no point in looking back aswell and i gotta say that all of it was sung so well, made it 10x better, your voice fits the character greatly and so does the flow you were able to do it in, just mind blowing. I just loved it man, amazing job you've done! :D You really made me want to sing the whole lyrics myself and make my own little cover for it. Absolutely inspiring. wishing you the best and the people that were in on this!
