White Lies
Unraveling Deceit: Stereophonics' White Lies Revealed
Lyrics
I don't know where you are or what you wanna do
I'm uncertain about your whereabouts or intentions
It seems so these days I'm losing out on you
Recently, it feels like I'm losing a connection with you
Oh yeah
Expressing emphasis or agreement
Oh yeah, yeah
Reiterating emphasis or agreement
You come home so late I don't know where you've been
You return home late, and I'm unsure of your activities
I wanna hold you tight but you make me wanna scream
Desire to be close conflicted with frustration
Yeah, yeah
Reiteration of frustration or agreement
Oh, so now we're fighting in the streets
Conflict has escalated to public confrontation
I can't breathe
Feeling suffocated or stressed in the situation
'Cause I don't believe what you're saying
Doubt in the truth of what is being communicated
No, your white lies don't protect me
The lies told are not protective, possibly harmful
Be honest with me
Request for honesty in communication
It's all we can be to sustain
Honesty is crucial for sustaining the relationship
I drove around all morning
Contemplating a fresh start after driving around
Thinking of starting again
Considering the idea of beginning anew
Turning my back on a good thing
Leaving a good thing behind, contemplating change
I turned the car 'round instead
Choosing not to abandon the current situation
No, your white lies don't protect me
Reiteration that lies are not protective
Be honest with me
Repetition of the plea for honesty
It's all we can be to sustain
Emphasizing the importance of honesty for sustenance
Oh, so no more fighting in the streets
Commitment to avoiding further public conflicts
'Cause I can't breathe
Intense emotional distress, feeling suffocated
'Cause I don't believe what you're saying
Reiterating doubt in the communicated words
No, your white lies don't protect me
Stating lies as ineffective protection
Be honest with me
Continued request for honesty
It's all we can be to sustain
Highlighting honesty as the foundation for sustenance
Oh, so no more fighting in the streets
Recommitting to avoid street fights
'Cause I can't breathe
Reiteration of emotional suffocation
If I don't see you again
If there's no resolution, there might not be a future encounter
Oh, oh
Expressing emotional distress or uncertainty
Oh, oh
Reiteration of emotional distress or uncertainty
