White Lies
Navigating Isolation: Unveiling the Struggle in Man Overboard's 'White Lies'
Lyrics
As she walks down the stairs
Describing a woman descending stairs
Suddenly the whole room stands in pairs
People in the room pairing off
No ones arm to hold, not for now
Feeling alone without someone to hold
Sleepless nights alone
Experiencing sleepless nights alone
As she walks down the stairs
Repetition of the woman descending stairs
She's not enough
Expressing inadequacy or insufficiency
"Why is nobody alone but me?
Questioning why others aren't alone
What is it that everyone else has?"
Expressing a sense of lacking something
A spine, a mind
Mentioning qualities like a spine and a mind
And I'm just not like them
Feeling different from others
They've got pretty eyes and white lies
Others have attractive qualities and deceive
And real friends, I'll never fit in
Expressing difficulty fitting in with real friends
I'm different
Emphasizing individuality
As he walks in the house
Shifting to a male perspective entering a house
Everybody's got him figured out
Others think they understand him
And all the girls lay traps it seems for him
Girls setting traps for him
Can he take one back?
Questioning his ability to escape traps
As he walks, in the house he's not enough
Reiterating the feeling of inadequacy
What is it that everyone else has?
Repeating the question about what others have
A spine, a mind
Repetition of qualities like a spine and a mind
And I'm just not like them
Reiterating a sense of being different
They've got pretty eyes and white lies
Repeating the idea of attractive qualities and deception
And real friends, I'll never fit in
Expressing difficulty fitting in with real friends
I'm different
Reaffirming individuality
So what is it that everyone else has?
Repeating the question about what others have
Just tell me everything you know
Seeking information and understanding
What is it that?
Repeating the inquiry about what others possess
A spine, a mind
Repetition of qualities like a spine and a mind
And I'm just not like them
Reiterating a sense of being different
They've got pretty eyes and white lies
Repeating the idea of attractive qualities and deception
And real friends, I'll never fit in
Expressing difficulty fitting in with real friends
A spine, a mind
Repetition of qualities like a spine and a mind
And I'm just not like them
Reiterating a sense of being different
They've got pretty eyes and white lies
Repeating the idea of attractive qualities and deception
And real friends, I'll never fit in
Expressing difficulty fitting in with real friends
And real friends, I'll never fit in
Reaffirming the challenge of fitting in with real friends
