Song Meaning of “Lies” by Before Their Eyes
Verse1
“Lies, what we’re gonna hide?
It’s all we’re left with in this life
Too many layers that can’t be stripped
Just to find a place to get a grip”
The narrator is reflecting on all the lies in the world and how they often disguise the truth. He’s reflecting on how it can be hard to get real clarity and understanding when everything is covered up with baseless half-truths. He wonders, in a life full of lies, what can really be hidden that would make everything better? He knows that this kind of truth-seeking can be grueling and require a lot of hard effort, but he wants to find his own peace of mind.
Chorus
“Lies, they’re rising up each day
We never reach the final break
The little things that never change
Caught in the cycle of lies again”
The chorus is emphasizing the problem of lies: how they never really seem to go away and how every time we think we can get away from them, the lies keep coming back. It feels like a never-ending cycle. No matter what we do or who we are, the lies are always lurking and never really leave us.
