“Rét*rd Angel .” is the most honest 3 minutes fakemink has ever recorded… 👇

Placed towards the end of “Terrified,” the track is where the character “fakemink” has ascended out of hell and achieved enlightenment, now speaking as his true self, Enzo. He reflects back on his past relationship, in a way that sounds more like a confession than a love song.

He opens by admitting he was attracted to her because she was hurting, not despite it. “I didn’t fall for who you were, I fell for what you were in.” The whole track works like that: every tender line followed immediately by something that undercuts it. He can’t let the feeling sit without flinching. 

Although the use of the “r slur” may seem controversial, it has an entirely different meaning than what you think. The word was originally a French loanword to English meaning “delay” or to be late. A “r***rd angel” literally defines as a delayed angel, like a love interest that came into fakemink’s life at the wrong time. This concept is alluded to throughout the entire song, with fakemink reminiscing on how he wasn’t able to love her properly during the time she was present in his life.

“Rét**d Angel” is significant in his discography because it is the first time the real person fully surfaces. Everything else fakemink has released, the 50+ singles of 2024, the viral momentum of “Easter Pink,” the euphoric weirdness of “MAKKA,” has been facets of an alter ego. This song is the seam where the persona breaks and something unguarded comes through. He sits inside one feeling for 3 minutes without reaching for a subject change. He admits to the savior complex, the incompatibility, and the love he kept silent. He admits he borrowed tomorrow and that cost him today.

Thoughts on this song? Do you think it’s the best track on Terrified? 🤔
