Living the Lie
Broken Hearts Echo in the Shadows
Lyrics
(Verse l)
Memories of a past relationship's conclusion
Memories of the end
Repetitive thoughts about the end of the relationship
Are repeat in my mind
Continuous mental replay of the breakup
Over and over again
The recollection persists, creating emotional distress
Not have you by my side
The absence of a significant other intensifies loneliness
Returns me to loneliness
Reflecting on solitude triggered by the separation
I really still loving you
Expressing continued love despite the breakup
(Chorus)
Introduction of the chorus
Living the living the living and living the lie
Emphasizing the experience of living a falsehood
She’s broken and broken and broken and broken my heart
Describing the emotional impact of a broken heart
(Verse ll)
Transition to the second verse
Live or die
Contemplating the options of life and death
Die or live
Reciprocal consideration of life and death
Doubts that take over my mind
Dealing with uncertainties that dominate the mind
I hear voices around me
Hearing external influences or inner conflicts
Leave me alone
Seeking solitude and separation from external pressures
I've already lost deadly game
Expressing the acknowledgment of losing a dangerous game
There is no return
Acceptance that there is no way to reverse the outcome
(chorus)
Reiteration of the chorus
Living the living the living and living the lie
Living a false reality continues
She’s broken and broken and broken and broken my heart
Reaffirmation of the profound impact of heartbreak
(Bridge)
Introduction of the bridge
I need you to come with me(our love is over)
Expressing a desire for a former lover to return
Don’t keep breaking my heart(you’re just a hobbie to me)
Admonishing against causing further emotional pain
I need you to come with me(our love is over)
Repetition of the plea for reconciliation
Don’t keep breaking my heart(you’re just a hobbie to me)
Warning against treating the relationship casually
(Chorus)
Return of the chorus
Living the living the living and living the lie
Reiteration of living a deceptive existence
She’s broken and broken and broken and broken my heart
Re-emphasis on the profound impact of heartbreak
Living the living the living and living the lie
Continued experience of living a falsehood
She’s broken and broken and broken and broken my heart
Final declaration of the deep emotional wounds caused by the breakup
