Lyrics
I lied to this man as I called him a friend
The speaker deceived a person they considered a friend.
He fell as I tripped him: he won't smile again
The friend suffered a consequence, and his smile won't return due to the speaker's actions.
The fruits of the loops of the friendships that droop
The negative outcomes of deteriorating friendships are likened to drooping fruits, symbolizing the consequences of deceit.
They pulled up my head as I try to lay dead
Despite trying to withdraw or detach, the speaker is pulled back into the situation, unable to escape the consequences.
Never realize I'm painting the corners, the edge
The speaker is unaware that they are metaphorically "painting the corners, the edge," possibly alluding to unintentional consequences of their actions.
As the fruits of the loops of the friendships that droop

Where do you go when you hide your love away?

Where do you go when you hide your love away?

Anticipation of no response when seeking answers, suggesting a lack of accountability or communication in the relationship.
As you try to convict me, I'll move side to side

The fruits of the loops of the friendships that droop

The situation cannot be rectified
The situation is irreversible; there is no way to make amends for the damaged friendships.
We're drowning the small ones with loose lips and lies

As the fruits of the loops of the friendships that droop
Reiteration of the lasting negative effects of damaged friendships.
Where'd you hide your love away?
