Bad Liar
기현 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Liar, liar)
흘러가는 순간들 속에
의미 없지 dwell on the past
넘쳐흐른 feeling the sorrow
고이 모아 절벽에 throw
깊이 파고들어 가시 돋친 my heart
But when you go ahead and ask
다시 돌아가려 한다면
I say no and laugh
Oh, baby, I am such a bad
Liar
You know, I feel it in my bones
I'm walking on a wire
I know, I'm losing all control 더 빠져들어
널 향한 맘 it's over
Keep saying no, but I'm a
Bad liar
You know, I feel it in my bones
Yeah, I'm a bad
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) such a bad
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) liar, liar
일기 속에 갇힌 그대여
나 지나간 지 오래된 page
덮어 두던 추억의 말로
Thinking 'bout the love that we had
깊이 파고들어 가시 돋친 my heart
Feeling keeps on banging on
But when you go ahead and ask
다시 돌아가려 한다면
I say no and laugh
Oh, baby, I am such a bad
Liar
You know, I feel it in my bones
I'm walking on a wire
I know, I'm losing all control 더 빠져들어
널 향한 맘 it's over
Keep saying no, but I'm a
Bad liar
You know, I feel it in my bones
Yeah, I'm a bad
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) such a bad
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) liar, liar
수많은 빈틈 속에
감춰온 my light on, my, my
눈을 감아 가려보려 해도
밀려오는 너의 짙어짐에
I say no and laugh
Oh, baby, I am such a bad
Liar
You know, I feel it in my bones
I'm walking on a wire
I know, I'm losing all control 더 빠져들어
널 향한 맘 it's over
Keep saying no, but I'm a
Bad liar
You know, I feel it in my bones
Yeah, I'm a bad
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) such a bad

In the song "Bad Liar" by 기현, the lyrics convey a sense of inner conflict and self-awareness. The opening lines suggest that the singer is reflecting on past moments and trying to avoid dwelling on them. They have a sense of emptiness, as if the moments have no meaning, and they are struggling with the overwhelming feeling of sorrow. The lines "Feeling keeps on banging on" indicate that despite their efforts, these emotions continue to persist and affect them deeply.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges their inclination to deceive themselves and others. When confronted with the desire to go back and revisit the past, they admit that they say no and laugh it off. The phrase "Oh, baby, I am such a bad liar" shows their awareness of their own dishonesty or tendency to hide their true feelings. It implies a recognition that they may not always be honest with themselves or others about their emotions.
The repeated chorus emphasizes the singer's self-awareness, as they express that they can feel their own internal struggles deep within their bones. The metaphor of walking on a wire signifies the precarious nature of their emotions and the feeling of being out of control. Despite their resistance and denial, they confess to being drawn further into their feelings, especially towards a particular person. The line "널 향한 맘 it's over" suggests that their emotions towards this person have surpassed a point of return.
The final verse speaks of concealing one's true light or essence within various gaps and trying to hide it from the overwhelming darkness brought by the other person. Despite their attempts to shield themselves, they once again acknowledge their inclination to say no and laugh off their true feelings. This repetition reinforces the notion that they are not being honest with themselves and presenting a façade to others.
Overall, "Bad Liar" explores the conflicting emotions and self-deception experienced by the singer. It delves into their struggle to confront and embrace their true feelings, ultimately admitting their failure to be genuine. The lyrics suggest a sense of vulnerability and a need for self-reflection in order to overcome their tendency to deceive themselves and others.

기현이 보컬의 장점을 극대화로 살린 곡이네...날카롭게 찌르는 고음+리듬감있는 저음+처절한 샤우팅...기현이의 취향과는 별개로 기현이가 갖고있는 보컬의 장점들을 확실히 살려준 곡이라는 생각이 듦 당연함 작곡가가 천재임
@user-rn2sg7ej5w
형원이의 작곡도, 유기현의 저음도, 코디도 모든 게 미쳤다ㅠㅠ

형원오빠가 해외투어에사 틈틈이 노래 작업해서 들려줬다던 노래ㅠ 근데 노래 너무 좋아ㅠㅠㅜ

진짜 이 천재 보컬을 어쩌면 좋을까ㅠㅠ 천재 작곡가를 어찌하면 좋을까!!??? 기현이의 저음부터 고음까지 들을 수 있는 곡이라 진짜 너무 좋아ㅠㅠ

'Bad Liar' is my favourite song on the album. It gives me 'Rain' kind of vibe. 'Rain' and 'Bad Liar' are totally Kihyun's style. He shines in such songs. Kihyun is looking breathtakingly handsome in this black jacket.
