Lie Captive
Deceptive Desolation: Unraveling the Betrayal in Misery Signals' 'Lie Captive'
Lyrics
Woven captive in my words
Feeling trapped or confined by the words spoken or written.
Keep still, keep quiet
Advocating for silence and stillness.
You are not the truth
Stating that the person addressed isn't representing the truth.
I feel you like a fucking dagger
Expressing the intense feeling of pain caused by the addressed person, akin to a sharp, painful dagger.
There has never been a worse time
Emphasizing a particularly challenging or difficult period.
It's just like me to burn alive
Metaphorically describing self-destruction or intense emotional turmoil.
I would never let you know
Refusing to reveal the emotional turmoil or vulnerability to the addressed person.
But I've run pens dry for you
Having exhausted one's creativity or expression for the addressed person.
Words into pages
Transformation of feelings or thoughts into written form.
Pages into hours
Indication of time passing through the creation of written content.
So hold me still in my contempt
Asking to be held in disdain or resentment.
Alone in my own burden
Feeling isolated or burdened within one's own emotions.
Keep still, keep quiet
Reiteration of the plea for silence and stillness.
You are not my truth
Rejecting the person addressed as the truth.
There has never been a worse time
Reiterating the difficulty of the current situation.
It's just like me to burn alive
Repeating the self-destructive tendencies or intense emotional turmoil.
I would never let you know
Continued refusal to reveal inner turmoil to the addressed person.
You are not truth
Reinforcing that the addressed person isn't representing the truth.
You are solitude
Assigning solitude or isolation to the addressed person.
Every page of every wasted hour will be set to flame
Intention to destroy all written expressions due to knowing about the addressed person's deceit.
Because I always knew you would lie
Confirmation of a pre-existing belief or knowledge about the addressed person's dishonesty.
Every page, every wasted hour, set to flame
Reiteration of the intention to burn written content due to the addressed person's lies.
Because you lied
Explicitly blaming the addressed person for lying.
This time you lied to me
Reiteration of the addressed person's deceit in this instance.
