Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Fake Hex” by Jimbo Mathus And The Tri State Coalition
“Fake Hex” by Jimbo Mathus and The Tri State Coalition is a blues-infused rock song about a relationship that is built on illusions and false promises. It speaks of the difficulty of maintaining trust in a relationship when you constantly feel manipulated and toyed with. The narrator is wise enough to recognize that the other person is saying one thing, but doing another, and is trying to break free of the deception. He yearns for a pure connection and begs for honesty, but at the same time rushes back into the damaging cycle of their dysfunctional relationship. In the end, he realizes that he needs to break away from the “fake hex” and seek out a relationship where his trust can be restored.
