Another Lie
Unraveling Deceit: Jacob John's 'Another Lie' Revealed
Lyrics
I tripped and fell
The speaker stumbled and fell.
Think I lost a shoe
Feels like something important is missing or lost.
A little black heart
A metaphorical reference to a troubled or hurt heart.
Running like the school boys do
Describes a frantic, youthful pursuit.
We've come this far
A realization after a long journey or effort.
To find out it's not true
Discovering a falsehood or untruth after investing time and effort.
A little black heart
Reiteration of emotional pain or trouble represented by a black heart.
Coming after me and you
Emphasizing a shared experience of distress or trouble.
Why am I always tired
Feeling constantly drained or fatigued.
Just trying to stay afloat
Struggling just to keep going amidst difficulties.
But water's getting higher
The challenges keep escalating or becoming more difficult.
Cause we aren't who we say we are
Realization of a discrepancy between appearances and reality.
We aren't who we say we are
Reiteration of the realization of not being genuine.
Another lie
Highlighting the presence of another falsehood or deception.
Her chapped lips peal
Describing someone speaking despite visible discomfort.
But she's speaking again
Despite discomfort, the person continues to communicate.
Her little black lungs
Symbolic reference to damaged or unhealthy lungs.
Breathing out her whiskey breath
Describing an alcoholic breath or unhealthy behavior.
I love you when you're sad
Expressing unconditional love regardless of emotional state.
I love you when you're stone
Love despite being emotionally distant or unresponsive.
I'll love you when you're not
Commitment to love despite changes or challenges.
Love you when you're old
Continued love regardless of age.
So sing a little number
Suggesting the act of performing or presenting something.
Everybody wants to hear
A desire for validation or acceptance through performance.
I'll play my guitar
Using music as a coping mechanism to overcome fear.
And try to get over the fear
Striving to overcome the fear of being judged or ridiculed.
Of shameless sounds of laughter
Discomfort with the joy or happiness of others.
Heard on every pencil's end
Unusual or paradoxical situations causing discomfort.
When planes land under water
Metaphor for impossible or contradictory situations.
Cause we aren't who we say we are
Reiteration of the theme of not being authentic.
We aren't who we say we are
Reiterating the lack of genuineness or honesty.
Another lie
Stating the presence of yet another falsehood or deception.
