One Big Lie
Deceptive Love Unveiled: Hooverphonic's 'One Big Lie' Revelation
Lyrics
When I met you, you looked so smart
The person appeared intelligent initially.
But being witty can feel so stupid
However, intelligence might sometimes lead to foolish decisions or actions.
When I met you, I thought you were good at heart
Initially believed the person to have a good, kind heart.
But now I know you can't rely on Cupid
Realization that relying on romantic notions (like Cupid's influence) for a relationship is unreliable.
You seemed the honest type then I found out
Initially perceived the person as honest, but discovered otherwise.
You cannot trust someone who seems too perfect
Warning against trusting someone who appears flawless.
All the time, all this time
A repetitive belief that love was felt for the person.
I thought I loved you
Reiterating the mistaken belief of loving the person.
I thought I loved you
-All the time, all this time
-I thought I loved you
-I thought I loved you
-But I was wrong
Admitting the error in believing love existed.
Your Blue Monday shirt looked so cool
Appreciation for the person's style or appearance.
A top disguise for the perfect fool
Suggesting that the impressive appearance hides foolishness.
Your Ray-Bans were darker than the darkest night
Specifically highlighting distracting elements (like sunglasses) that draw attention away from truth or flaws.
A distraction from your anti-blue eyes
The distraction caused by impressive external features diverting from the person's real nature.
That seemed trustworthy, but then I found out
Realization that outward trustworthiness was a façade.
You can't rely on someone who seems perfect
Warning against relying on someone who seems too flawless.
All the time, all this time
Repeated acknowledgment of the initial misconception of love for this person.
I thought I loved you
-I thought I loved you
-All the time, all this time
-I thought I loved you
-I thought I loved you
-But I was wrong
-We can glue things back together
Metaphorically describing an attempt to mend a broken relationship but acknowledging that the scars and reminders of deception will persist.
But the crack will stay visible
-A spiderweb of lies will always remind me that
-All the time, all this time
Reaffirmation of the mistaken belief in loving the person, followed by an acknowledgment of the mistake.
I thought I loved you
-I thought I loved you
-I thought I loved you
-All this time, all this time
-I thought I loved you
-I thought I loved you
-All this time
Admitting the initial belief in loving the person but realizing it was incorrect.
I loved you
-I thought I loved you
-But I was wrong
Final acknowledgment of the error in believing love existed.
