Liar's Tale
Love's Deception Unveiled: Guided by Voices' Liar's Tale
Lyrics
Let me tell you a story
Introducing a narrative or anecdote.
Conclusive, based on fact
Claiming the story is definitive and based on actual events.
Long ago in the morning
Referring to a distant past in the morning.
She left did not come back
Describing someone leaving and not returning.
I don't really care anymore
Expressing a lack of concern.
I don't really care anymore
Reiterating indifference.
Change the days into nights
Suggesting a shift from day to night.
And you will know when the feeling is right
Implying that the right feeling comes with changed circumstances.
This tale is too long
Acknowledging the lengthiness of the tale.
The plot is weak and the characters wrong
Criticizing the story's plot and characters.
I don't really care anymore
Repeating a lack of concern.
I don't really care anymore
Emphasizing continued indifference.
But she changed my life
Despite indifference, recognizing a significant impact on the speaker's life.
I thought she loved me
Recalling a belief in love from the person who left.
And I will pray for you
Expressing a commitment to pray for someone.
You'll see the truth
Predicting that the truth will become apparent.
Cause that's how it's got to be
Asserting that truth is necessary.
Oh oh oh yeah ooh
Uttering sounds, possibly indicating emotional resonance or contemplation.
Let me tell you a story
Repeating the introduction of a narrative.
About the way she was
Beginning to elaborate on the character of the person in the story.
Let me tell you a story
Repeating the intention to tell a story.
About the way she was
Reiterating the focus on the character of the person in the story.
