Japanese Rap By Kenix Cheang
U want me die die die
我的一手一脚似任你摆
Why Why Why
为了一晚背负最难还的债
就算犹大 亦会不可思议爱着坏女孩
从银座直逛到新宿你都不够
又热又累亦要将所有目标搜购
原路也在拖手 名牌前面有售
战利品交给我守候
乱认伴侣是否好玩过跳水
缠绵后我被敷衍一句
遗下在垃圾堆 还道越爱越觉累
Why can you lie lie lie
送我拖舍一吻当做告解
Why Why Why
被你挑起爱后笑着说拜拜
傻在中伏照捱
谁当猎物大平卖 拿陷阱让我踩
U want me die die die
我的一手一脚似任你摆
Why Why Why
为了一晚背负最难还的债
惩罚我连十诫亦摺埋
就算犹大 亦会不可思议爱着坏女孩
玩具未碎或者都可以戏水
缠绵后我认真不识趣
如犯贱是壮举 怀内没你没法睡
Why can you lie lie lie
送我拖舍一吻当做告解
Why Why Why
被你挑起爱后笑着说拜拜
傻在中伏照捱
谁当猎物大平卖 拿陷阱让我踩
U want me die die die
我的一手一脚似任你摆
Why Why Why
为了一晚背负最难还的债
惩罚我连十诫亦摺埋
就算犹大 亦会不可思议爱着坏女孩
You know what they say
From the streets of Ginza
To the hoods of la you know? Huh
Diamonds champagne and fancy bags
None of which you"ve never had
Believing in something this as air
You never cared about the moon and stars
All you wanted were 3 carats and GTR
So now that
じゃあMy Turn
お前もあたしのことを全然气にしてない
いつもゲ一厶だけをやっている(なにこれ)
あたしたちさ本当に恋人なの?
本当にあたしのことが好きなのか?
もう疲れた いつも喧哗しているから!
Why can you lie lie lie
送我拖舍一吻当做告解
Why Why Why
被你挑起爱后笑着说拜拜
傻在中伏照捱
谁当猎物大平卖 拿陷阱让我踩
U want me die die die

为了一晚背负最难还的债
惩罚我连十诫亦摺埋
就算犹大 亦会不可思议爱着坏女孩
The song "Lie" by 陳偉霆 (William Chan) talks about a toxic, tumultuous relationship where one partner is constantly lying and manipulating the other. The chorus of "Why can you lie lie lie, sending me away with a kiss as a confession, being provoked by your love, smiling and saying goodbye" showcases the frustration and hurt that the singer feels. The Japanese rap by Kenix Cheang adds an extra layer to the song, where she questions if their relationship is genuine or just a game.
The lyrics also touch on materialistic desires, with lines such as "From Ginza to Shinjuku, you're not satisfied. Even if you're hot and tired, you still want to buy everything you see. You drag me with you, buying up all the designer goods. Your spoils of war, waiting for me to watch over them" highlighting the destructive nature of consumerism. The singer feels trapped in this cycle of lies and excessive spending, punished for their love and devotion.
The music is a poppy, upbeat tune that contrasts with the heavy subject matter. It almost has a playful, flirty vibe, which makes the lyrics hit even harder. The repetition of "U want me die die die" reinforces the intensity of the situation and how the singer feels like they are being pushed to their breaking point.
Overall, "Lie" is a powerful song that captures the pain and confusion of a toxic relationship.

Left behind in the trash, realizing that love only leads to exhaustion

Using traps to make me the prey for a big sale
玩具未碎或者都可以戏水
Even if the toys aren't broken, you can still play with them in the water
如犯贱是壮举 怀内没你没法睡
Foolishly thinking that being promiscuous is admirable, unable to sleep without you by my side
