About This Track

'Flake' by FIDLAR is an alternative track from the album 'Almost Free' (2019). The lyrics sketch a frustrated late-night chat, with the speaker pushing back against someone who is unreliable and barely awake, repeating the blunt label and asking for a break. Amid the urgency of “me and you go for a ride?” the mood turns sharply wearied, as the speaker says they do not want the other person around.

"Flake" is a track by FIDLAR, from the album Almost Free, released 24th January 2019. The track is 3:48 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 9 articles about FIDLAR.

Lyrics

Flake

Hey man, what are you doin' tonight?
How 'bout me and you go for a ride?

Said you'd be late
You're barely awake
It's all I can take!

You're a flake
And I need a, need a break
You're a flake
I don't wanna see you around this place
You're a flake
And I need a, need a break
You're a flake
I'm better off alone anyway

Man, just how much shit are you gonna talk?
I know you spent all night in a bathroom stall
I think you're a fake (FLAKE!)
That's okay, this is LA
But we're not gonna make it after all

(Come on) Said you'd be late
(Come on) You're barely awake
Gimme a break!

You're a flake
And I need a, need a break
You're a flake
I don't wanna see you around this place
You're a flake
And I need a, need a break
You're a flake
I'm better off alone anyway

You're a flake
And I need a, need a break
You're a flake
I don't wanna see you around this place
You're a flake
And I need a, need a break
You're a flake
I'm better off alone anyway

    In the three years since FIDLAR last put out a record, a lot has changed - but a charged up Zac Carper is ready to let the fire burn again.
