Honest Lies
Unveiling Deception: Justin Saladino's 'Honest Lies' Meaning Revealed
Lyrics
You say what you mean
You express your thoughts truthfully.
But not what you feel
Your words don't reflect your true emotions.
Hold hands with the truth
You embrace honesty but use it to hide something.
All to conceal
Truth is employed to conceal certain aspects.
Keep telling me lies
You repeatedly tell untruths.
About what you want
You provide false information about your desires.
To hide from me
You keep secrets to avoid revealing your true self.
All that you're not
You hide aspects of your identity.
Keep fooling yourself
You deceive yourself.
We won't ever tell
You and others will keep the truth hidden.
Just hide in your shell
You retreat into isolation to escape scrutiny.
From everybody else
Avoiding openness with everyone else.
You said to me
You conveyed feeling at home to me.
I always felt like home
I felt a sense of belonging, but you didn't return.
But you never came back
Your absence when needed is noted.
When the sun had gone
When challenges arise, you're not present.
I'd wait for you all alone and cry
I waited alone, emotionally affected.
Cause I knew you felt better with another guy
You found comfort with someone else.
Keep fooling yourself
You continue deceiving yourself.
We won't ever tell
The truth remains hidden among us.
Just hide in your shell
Seeking refuge in isolation from others.
From everybody else
Avoiding openness with the world.
All this time
All the while, a prolonged act.
It was all a disguise
Everything was a facade.
Hypnotized
You were mesmerizing in your dishonesty.
By your honest lies
Your lies had a captivating effect.
Paint me a picture
Create an image with a concealed identity.
With a hidden face
A painted portrayal with hidden truth.
Write me a letter
A letter with a hidden, cryptic message.
With a cryptic escape
An escape plan veiled in secrecy.
You knew what it was all along
You were aware of the truth from the start.
When you left
You departed, singing a long-buried song.
You sang some buried old song
Leaving behind hidden emotions.
Keep fooling yourself
Continuing self-deception.
We won't ever tell
The truth will remain concealed.
Just hide in your shell
Retreating into isolation to avoid exposure.
From everybody else
Avoiding openness with everyone.
All this time
A prolonged act of deception.
It was all a disguise
Everything was a facade.
Hypnotized
You were captivating in your dishonesty.
By your honest lies
Your lies had a hypnotic effect.
All this time
A prolonged act of deception.
It was all a disguise
Everything was a facade.
Hypnotized
You were captivating in your dishonesty.
By your honest lies
Your lies had a hypnotic effect.
