A song from the Radiohead album,(1995) The Bends. It is about a world of fake people, things that are not real and people that don't know why, they do what they do, as well to me it's about trying to be in love with someone that is not in love with you there fake not real. you are in love with I idea of them and that's why it feels fake.
"She looks like the real thing, She tastes like the real thing, My fake plastic love."
Fake Plastic Trees: when you get what you want, but not what you need.
Term first found in the lyrics for SR-71s song 'Right Now'. Nobody really knows what it means, but Todd in the Shadows estimated it might stand for a fake, slutty girlfriend.
'She clings to me like cellophane, fake plastic submarine, slowly driving me insane but now that's over'
a plastic friend is someone who is your friend just for advantages and gives back only when he has to, not to get confused with a fake friend, which always is never really kind to you. These friends are usually friends with another one of your close friends that don't see how they're treating you.
Joe: have you seen Bill lately?
Kate: yeah, he was hanging out with Luke and Drew
Joe: Luke is such a plastic friend. Always taking and never giving!
Kate: Bill talked to me about it, he doesn't like it, but he's afraid to lose Drew.
Joe: he's also such a fake friend!
Kate: IKR! he's a Plastic friend and fake friend.
