Charlatan
Betrayed Bliss: Unveiling the Deceptive Promises in Four Letter Lie's 'Charlatan'
Lyrics
And it started with your promises
Initial disappointment or betrayal related to unfulfilled promises.
That we would live a life of bliss
An expectation of a blissful life based on the promises made.
This isn't how I pictured it, those were lies
Realization that the current situation does not align with the envisioned future, and those promises were lies.
And we're sifting through the evidence
Engagement in a process of examining evidence to validate trust, which is found to be nonexistent.
To prove your trust, it don't exist
The attempt to prove trust leads to the conclusion that it doesn't exist.
Now we're all kids against business
Collective resistance or opposition, possibly against deceitful business practices.
And we're torn
A state of emotional conflict or being torn apart.
But I can be saved
Expression of hope for salvation or redemption.
If I just open my eyes to everything
A realization that opening one's eyes to the truth is essential for salvation.
Lights on display
The harsh reality or truth being exposed, possibly in a public manner.
There's no room
A lack of space or opportunity for something positive.
If this is what's called love
Reflection on love, which is identified as a source of betrayal.
I've been betrayed
Personal experience of being let down or deceived.
Now there's a lack of faith
An absence of trust or belief, possibly resulting from betrayal.
I can't explain
Difficulty in explaining the loss of faith or trust.
All the trades, the parted soul
Mentions of past trades or exchanges and a soul that has been separated.
Now we're just doing what we're told
Conformity to external expectations or commands.
There is no way that we could make it alone
Recognition of dependence on others; the impossibility of making it alone.
And we're sifting through the evidence
Repetition of the process of examining evidence to prove trust, yielding the same result of its nonexistence.
To prove your trust, it don't exist
A reaffirmation that trust is lacking after reevaluation.
Now we're all kids against business
Reiteration of collective opposition or resistance, leading to emotional conflict.
And we're torn
A continued state of being torn apart emotionally.
So we can be saved
Hope for collective salvation if negative experiences or nightmares are eliminated.
If you just make the bad dreams go away
A plea for relief from distressing experiences or situations.
If this is what's called love, I've been betrayed
Reflection on love as a source of betrayal, echoing a previous sentiment.
Now there's a lack of faith I can't explain
Reiteration of a lack of faith and the inability to explain it.
