Lie to Me
Embracing Deceit: Less Than Jake's Poetic Reflection on Life's Betrayals
Lyrics
What's wrong with the world today?
Expressing concern about the state of the world.
Can I get anybody on my page?
Seeking connection or understanding from others.
Count down till I lose my mind
Counting down to a mental breaking point.
Not a shred of faith inside
Lack of belief or confidence within oneself.
Still spelling out what went wrong
Reflecting on past mistakes or problems.
Pick up the pieces and just move on
Acceptance of difficulties and moving forward.
Two drinks and I'm on my way
Using alcohol as a coping mechanism.
To a place where I'm not afraid
Seeking a place of comfort and security.
One simple lesson learned
Learning a simple but impactful lesson.
The flames we hold the closest burn the worst
Acknowledging that the closest relationships can cause the most pain.
Say you need me one more time
Desiring reassurance from a significant other.
Tell me there's more that connects us
Wanting to believe in a deeper connection.
Than the days we've left behind
Valuing shared experiences and memories.
Lie to me just one more time
Expressing a willingness to be deceived for emotional comfort.
Tell me you can't go on without me
Longing for dependence and importance in someone's life.
I'll pretend that I'll be fine, I'll be fine
Choosing to pretend strength despite emotional struggles.
Relive what I've been put through
Reflecting on past hardships.
Have I got nothing else better to do?
Questioning the purpose of one's experiences.
Just watch from my own sidelines
Observing life without active participation.
Think of what I'm gonna change next time
Contemplating changes for the future.
Jump in, buckle up, let's go
Encouraging action and exploration.
See the places we should get to know
Emphasizing the importance of discovering new places.
I need a chaser when
Desiring a distraction or escape from personal issues.
I swallow my pride
Acknowledging the need to overcome pride for survival.
and find a way to make it out alive
Finding a way to endure challenges.
More years with little meaning
Reflecting on years with a perceived lack of significance.
Fractions of my life repeating
Experiencing repetitive and fractional moments in life.
Feels like it takes forever
Perceiving time as dragging on.
Breaking off from one another
Experiencing the separation or detachment from others.
Losing count of all the times
Losing track of the sacrifices made for others.
I put you first and left myself behind
Prioritizing others over oneself and feeling left behind.
