Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But if you don't say what you are thinking
And I won't take too kindly to it
Well, all I want is something special
And you can't give it to me
And all you do is lie to me
'Cause you're a liar, liar liar
I will take you through the night
Night, night, laaahaa
I will run, I will fight
I will take you through the night
Night, night, naahaaa
Say it if you want to, and say it if you choose
Because if you don't say what you are thinking
No I won't take too kindly to it
Well, all I wanted was something different
And you couldn't give it to me
And all you do is lie to me
So you're a liar, liar, liar
I will run, I will fight
I will take you through the night
Night, night, laaahaa
I will run, I will fight
I will take you through the night
Night, night, laahaaa
Laahaaa, laahaaa
I will fight you, I fight you
I'll find it in you, liar
Liar, liar, liar
That you're a liar, liar, liar
Liar
The lyrics of "Liar" by The Cranberries depict a person who is fed up with the deceitful nature of someone they care about. The singer urges the liar to speak their mind honestly and openly, but warns that they will not tolerate any more lies. The repetition of the phrase "liar, liar, liar" emphasizes the betrayal felt by the singer, and the chorus combines a sense of determination and defiance as the singer promises to run, fight and take the other person through the night.
The line "all I wanted was something different, and you couldn't give it to me" suggests that the singer's trust has been broken repeatedly, and they have been let down by the other person. The frustration and disappointment felt by the singer is conveyed through the lyrics, as they seek a more fulfilling connection and refuse to settle for less.
Throughout the song, the rhythmic guitar riffs and uptempo beat reflect the emotions of the lyrics, building to a powerful climax as the singer asserts their strength and resolves to stand up for themselves.
