I'd Be Lying
Unveiling Shadows: Ben Stopfel's Revelations in 'I'd Be Lying'
Lyrics
I'll have a glass of wine
Having a glass of wine
To another wasted night
Reflecting on another wasted night
Heard your sound
Heard a sound
Pushed it down
Suppressed emotions or thoughts
Like you'd ever know
Expressing doubt that the person addressed would understand
She's letting go tonight
Referring to someone letting go emotionally tonight
So I stumbled down the street
Stumbling down the street
I hoped that I would see
Hoping to encounter something open
An open sign
Searching for a sign or direction
Violet lights
Noticing violet lights, possibly symbolic
The end of my road
Reflecting on reaching the end of a journey
Who cares what that might be
Indifference towards what the end might entail
I can't deny the light that's in your eyes
Acknowledging a positive light in someone's eyes
I would be lying if I knew what that's like
Admitting uncertainty about understanding that positivity
I don't know what that's like
Reiterating lack of understanding
I'd be lying
Repeating the admission of potential dishonesty
You're right I am ashamed
Acknowledging shame
Don't lie down in this grave
Resisting lying down in defeat or despair
Ring the bell, come to tell me that I had done wrong
Expecting consequences for perceived wrongs
And all I couldn't save
Expressing inability to save everything
I can't deny the light that's in your eyes
Reiterating the positive light in someone's eyes
I would be lying if I knew what that's like
Admitting uncertainty about understanding that positivity
I don't know what that's like
Reiterating lack of understanding
I can't deny the light that's in your eyes
Acknowledging a positive light in someone's eyes
I would be lying if I knew what that's like
Admitting uncertainty about understanding that positivity
I don't know what that's like
Reiterating lack of understanding
I can't know what that's like
Expressing impossibility of knowing the experience
I'd be lying
Repeating the admission of potential dishonesty
