Infected Mushroom - The Pretender Lyrics






Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began

Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones come marching in again
They need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense

Spinning infinity, boy
The wheel is spinning me
It's never-ending, never-ending
Same old story

What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
You're the pretender
What if I say that I will never surrender?

What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
You're the pretender
What if I say that I will never surrender?

In time or so I’m told
I'm just another soul for sale... oh, well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
We're temporary, temporary
Same old story

What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
You're the pretender
What if I say that I will never surrender?

What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
You're the pretender
What if I say that I will never surrender?

I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face
Mirrored in your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that'll take you down
Bring you to your knees

So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are yooooooooooooooooooooou?!

What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
You're the pretender
What if I say that I will never surrender?

What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
You're the pretender
Keep you in the...

Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began

  8. R.... ....

    those look like the dark souls mushrooms +without limbs

  9. M.... M....

    Description lyrics corrention "What if I said that *I* will never surrender."

  10. S.... I....

    musica perfeita do caralho puta merda

  11. N.... ....

    This is apparently the crossroads for IM fans, Foo Fighters fans, and osu! fans.

    What a unique intersection

  12. N.... ....

    The OG gives me some strong emotions but god damn, this one makes me hype to beat somebody to a pulp

  13. b.... ....

    Well this blows lol

  14. T.... ....

    Anyone else find this by searching "spaghetti mushrooms"?

  15. F.... M....

    Infoocted Mushfighters

    F.... M....

  18. A.... B....

    RAFIIIIIIIS KURWA BAO BAO :D

  19. C.... ....

    First time I ever heard this song, I was seeing Infected Mushroom live in L.A. They played their whole set (AMAZING) and THIS was the encore. Fucking mind blowing.

  20. D.... ....

    Foo fighters lol

  23. A.... m....

    Ебучие ремиксы омерзительны

  24. E.... 4....

    This is the best kind of cover: doing it in your own style without discrediting the original. Like the "Whole Lotta Rosie" cover by Bullet for my Valentine.

  25. M.... O....

    Osu here

  26. W.... c....

    I need this on spotify;-;

  27. L.... ....

  32. L.... x....

    this song makes me nostalgic- good job Infected Mushroom you have done a wonderful thing <3

  33. S.... ....

    I fucking love foo fighters yet I never noticed that was a cover. I genuinely thought that was the original and was sad I couldn't find it on spotify lmaoo

  34. S.... B....

    so cool... it's look like an anime opening :3

  35. b.... m....

    WOW that is all i have to say

  36. A.... ....

    i may have quit osu but i still love this with dt

  37. K.... E....

    All by myself

  38. C.... B....

    The thing about this song is that it's not like the others.

  39. J.... ....

    I don't see any hate in the comments, just people complaining about the hate. When comment sections get like this, it's like cancer.

  40. T.... L....

    I listened to this on shrooms and it was the most encouraging thing I ever did, I felt like I was born again over and over and I had the power of a god

  41. S.... 2....

    r/imnotliketheothers

  42. B.... K....

    Well this isn’t foo fighters....

    B.... K....

    Well it is, but remixed obviously.

  43. g.... p....

    Honestly I have played this song over and over.

    g.... p....

    wow honestly? that's crazy dude, imagine playing a song over and over. madman

  44. B.... ....

    What if I say I'm not like the others?

    B.... ....

    then you are like the others, because everyone who sang this song said that as well, and therefore, you are like the others..

  45. B.... ....

    Better than the original :)

    B.... ....

    I don't think so u.u

  46. M.... ....

    This version is so catchy holy shit

  47. N.... O....

    osu community is basically better friend than your friend to introduce you to good songs

  48. J.... 1....

    Vaxei 3 mod

  49. K.... S....

    Best moment 3:11 1,5x speed
