Pretender
Unveiling Deception: Lucifer Star Machine's Pretender Chronicles a Life of Lies
Lyrics
On your mind - Lies and deceit
Reflection on deceptive thoughts present in the mind
You left behind integrity
Commentary on abandoning integrity
Make believe you're someone else
Encouragement to adopt a false identity
Crash down without a safety belt
Warning about potential consequences without safety measures
You block the truth. You feel alone
Suppressing the truth and experiencing loneliness
Don't be a fool, you should have known
Admonishment for not being aware of the truth
night or day, good or bad
Contrasting situations emphasizing uncertainty
Right or wrong, happy or sad
Moral dilemmas and emotional contrasts
All is gone except the pain
Alluding to loss, with pain being the only remaining emotion
You think to fight would be in vain
Doubting the effectiveness of fighting against circumstances
Just face your life intrepidly
Encouragement to confront life boldly
Or die without identity
Choice between living authentically and facing existential anonymity
Oh sweet sweet lies, amplified
Acknowledgment of appealing yet deceitful lies
Lie forever, keep pretending until the day you die
Encouragement to persist in pretending until death
You don't think twice, that's how you roll
Acting impulsively without considering consequences
Ignore advise, you'll never know
Disregarding advice with an unknowing attitude
But that's ok cos you don't care
Indifference towards consequences because of apathy
You bend the truth just anywhere
Flexible attitude towards truth, bending it without concern
The day will come when you feel sad
Anticipation of future regret and sadness
You want the life you never had
Desire for an unattainable life
But that's too late, you're on your own
Realization of being alone with no chance of redemption
And everyone who cared is gone
Isolation and loss of caring connections
No life, no friends, no family
Emphasis on a solitary existence without relationships
You are your biggest enemy
Self-awareness of being one's own adversary
Then once again you close your eyes
Closing eyes to reality and embracing comforting lies
And tell yourself another lie
Continuation of self-deception through storytelling
