Tell Me Lies
Drowning in Beautiful Lies: Rockie Brown's Emotionally Charged Journey
Lyrics
I got my head in my hands
I feel overwhelmed and distressed, possibly facing a difficult situation.
Feel like I’m dying and the room keeps spinnin
The distress is intensifying, leading to a sense of impending doom and disorientation.
You’re crying saying your prayers
You express sorrow and seek solace through prayers.
You dig a hole and then you kick me in it
Despite seeking comfort, there is a sense of betrayal and mistreatment.
Break me down, confound with your fallacy
Feeling broken down and confused by deceptive actions or false beliefs.
I scream your name and hope you’re in there somewhere listening
Desperately calling out, hoping for acknowledgment or understanding.
No trace of what’s left of who you used to be
There is no recognizable trace of the person you once knew.
You’re so far gone
The person has changed significantly and is now distant or unreachable.
And when the message don’t change
Questioning if communication will ever bring about a change.
Will you remember your name
Pondering if the essence of one's identity will be retained.
Don’t be surprised if you’re the last one standing
Anticipating being the last person enduring a challenging situation.
The bridges burn to the ground
Metaphorically, relationships or opportunities are irreparably damaged.
And all you hear is the sound
All that remains is the impact or consequence of past actions.
Of all the fantasies you won’t stop playing
Addiction to unrealistic fantasies that persist despite negative consequences.
Tell me lies-to escape your reality
Encouraging deception as a means to escape a harsh reality.
Tell me lies-as you're drowning in your misery
Using lies as a coping mechanism during moments of suffering.
Tell me lies-cuz it sounds so beautiful
Deceptive narratives are attractive despite their falsehood.
You never noticed that the devil’s on your doorstep
Ignorance of imminent danger or negative influences in life.
Eyes shut, blind faith inside that bubble wrap
Blind faith in a protective barrier, unaware of surrounding risks.
Last place in the race, don't give me faces cause I’m movin on
Despite challenges, determined to progress and leave the past behind.
And when the message don’t change
Reiteration of the uncertainty about the effectiveness of communication.
Will you remember your name
Questioning whether personal identity will endure challenging circumstances.
Don’t be surprised if you’re the last one standing
Expecting to be the last one standing amidst adversity.
The bridges burn to the ground
Symbolic destruction of connections with lingering consequences.
And all you hear is the sound
Auditory imagery of consequences echoing in the aftermath.
Of all the fantasies you won’t stop playing
Persisting in destructive fantasies despite their negative impact.
Tell me lies-to escape your reality
Encouraging deception as a means to escape a harsh reality (repeated).
Tell me lies-as you're drowning in your misery
Using lies as a coping mechanism during moments of suffering (repeated).
Tell me lies-cuz it sounds so beautiful
Deceptive narratives are attractive despite their falsehood (repeated).
And when you’re all on your own
Isolation and abandonment, with no one responding to your calls.
And no one answers the phone
Feeling neglected and ignored when seeking support.
You finally notice you’re the last one standing
Awareness of being the last survivor in a challenging situation.
No stories left there to sell
No more fabricated stories to present or exaggerations to tell.
All out of tall tales to tell
Exhausted and out of imaginative tales to share.
And then you realize there’s no one listening
Realization that no one is paying attention or caring.
Tell me lies-to escape your reality
Encouraging deception as a means to escape a harsh reality (repeated).
Tell me lies-as you're drowning in your misery
Using lies as a coping mechanism during moments of suffering (repeated).
Tell me lies-cuz it sounds so beautiful
Deceptive narratives are attractive despite their falsehood (repeated).
Tell me lies-like the poison that you choose to see
Lies are embraced even when recognized as harmful, like a chosen poison.
Tell me lies-when you’re standing right in front of me
Deliberate deception persists even when facing someone directly.
Tell me lies-cuz it sounds so beautiful
Attraction to lies despite awareness of their falsehood (repeated).
