Lie Your Way to the Truth
Unveiling Deception: A Journey from Illusion to Truth
Lyrics
First you weren't paying attention
Initially, you were not attentive or observant.
Building up your double life
You were constructing a deceptive or secret second life.
But the bottom fell out of your conscience
However, your moral sense or ethical principles collapsed.
And your smile doesn't reach your eyes
Your smile does not reflect genuine emotions or feelings.
The smile doesn't reach your eyes
Reiteration that the smile you exhibit is insincere.
Can you lie your way to the truth
Questioning whether one can deceive or manipulate in order to uncover the truth.
Can you swallow the way it tastes
Can you endure or accept the unpleasantness of dishonesty?
Try to lie your way to the truth
Attempting to deceitfully arrive at the truth.
Try to stomach the things you say
Enduring or tolerating the consequences of the lies one tells.
Hey hey look at you
An expression observing the individual's behavior.
Crying wolf, till the wolf's at your door
Continuously making false alarms until faced with a real threat or consequence.
Hey look at you
Another observation of the individual's behavior of persistent lying.
Lying till you can't the truth
Continuously lying until unable to distinguish truth from falsehoods.
From the lies anymore
Being unable to differentiate truth from lies due to constant deception.
First I wasn't paying attention
Initially, the narrator was not attentive or observant.
When you showed me who you are
The individual revealed their true character to the narrator.
Underneath the shiny illusion
Beneath the appealing facade was a decay or corruption.
Was a rot underneath the floor
The decay extended beneath the surface or fundamental level.
Right down to the core
Penetrating to the very essence or core.
You can lie your way to the truth
Questioning if one can employ deceit to uncover the truth.
Can you swallow the way it tastes
Enduring or accepting the disagreeable flavor of dishonesty.
Try and lie your way to the truth
Attempting to deceitfully arrive at the truth.
Never pay for the things you say
Avoiding consequences or penalties for the lies told.
Hey look at you
An observation of the individual's behavior.
Crying wolf, till the wolf's at your door
Repeatedly making false alarms until faced with actual consequences.
Look at you
Observing the continuous lying behavior of the individual.
Lie until you can't the truth from the lies anymore
Continuously lying until unable to distinguish truth from falsehoods.
You've been running but your luck ran out
Despite running or trying to escape, luck has ceased.
Deceiving wherever you go
Consistently deceiving others wherever one goes.
You lie awake in your empty house
Being alone in a deceitful environment, becoming aware of the truth.
Now you know, now you know
Realization of the consequences of constant deception.
