Lies
Breaking Free: The Triumph Over Deceit in 'Lies' by The Fear Within
Lyrics
You've come crawling back, can't stop calling my name
The person addressed has returned and continues to seek attention and contact.
You're so addicted to the way this hurts
There's a pattern of being attracted to the pain or negative aspects of the relationship.
I know the way you crave like there's no one to blame
Recognizing the intensity of the other person's desire or longing, suggesting a lack of accountability.
You want to start a war between us all
There's a desire or intent from the other person to create conflict or tension.
It's getting hard to breathe here, I feel inside of a cell
Feeling suffocated or confined emotionally, as if trapped within oneself.
I hope this finds you well, I hope this gives you hell
Expressing a wish for the other person to experience hardship as a consequence of their actions.
I'm always back to the edge!
Sensation of being constantly pushed to an extreme or a limit.
I'll make sure you can't decide for me
Determined not to let the other person make decisions on one's behalf.
So cross my heart I won't believe your lies
Pledging not to believe the falsehoods or deceit of the other person.
I welcome you to my brand new life
Inviting the other person to witness the speaker's fresh start in life.
And now I've finally shed your weight
Successfully moving on from the burden or influence of the other person.
Believe me when I say: you'd sell me for anything
Asserting that the other person would betray for personal gain, showing distrust.
For anything
Reinforcing the idea that the other person's actions lack concern or attachment.
It's not my problem now so get out of my head
Rejecting responsibility for the other person's issues or influence on the speaker.
We focussed on how to retain my brain
Focusing on preserving one's mental faculties or sanity.
l will forget our past. Why can't you do the same dear?
Expressing a desire to forget the shared past, questioning why the other person can't do the same.
Can you carry this? Cause it's breaking me
Questioning the capability of the other person to handle or endure the situation.
So cross my heart I won't believe your lies
Reiterating the pledge to not trust the other person's lies.
I welcome you to my brand new life
Reaffirming the invitation for the other person to witness the speaker's new life.
And now I've finally shed your weight
Emphasizing the successful release from the influence or burden of the other person.
Believe me when I say: you'd sell me for anything
Reiterating the lack of trust in the other person's intentions.
I won't hear your lies anymore!
Refusal to listen to any more deceitful statements from the other person.
This is a time bomb ticking in front of you!
Describing the situation as a dangerous, imminent threat waiting to explode.
So cross my heart I won't believe your lies
Reaffirming the pledge to reject the other person's lies.
I welcome you to my brand new life
Restating the invitation for the other person to witness the speaker's fresh start.
And now I've finally shed your weight
Highlighting the successful liberation from the other person's influence or weight.
Believe me when I say: you'd sell me for anything
Reiterating the lack of trust in the other person's loyalty or intentions.
