Lying To Myself
Austin Meade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been searching
I've been feeling only you
I've been lying to myself again
I don't feel it anymore
I still love you but I never get the chance
To love anything once they take a second glance
Too much to ask to keep myself from freaking out
I've been hearing how things are changing
But I'm not jealous, just ignored
If I'm being honest
I've stopped trying to get your attention
Not like before
I still love you but I never get the chance
To love anything once they take a second glance
The part of life that I could never live without
Too much to ask to keep myself from freaking out
I still love you but I never get the chance
To love anything once they take a second glance
The part of life that I could never live without
Too much to ask to keep myself from freaking out
I've been lying to myself again
I don't feel it anymore
The lyrics of Austin Meade's song "Lying To Myself" portray a sense of emotional turmoil, confusion, and the inability to express one's feelings. The first verse indicates that the singer is deeply invested in the person they are addressing. However, they are aware that they are not being honest with themselves. They are trying to convince themselves that they still feel something for the other person, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to do so. The repetition of the line "I don't feel it anymore" at the end of the verse emphasizes the growing emotional detachment.
The second verse reveals that the singer still loves the person they are talking to, but they do not get the chance to express it. The phrase "once they take a second glance" implies that perhaps the person they love is not giving them the attention they crave or that they do not want to pursue anything with the singer further. The "part of life" that the singer cannot live without is likely the opportunity to love and be loved in return. They recognize that they are asking too much to expect to be able to keep their emotions in check.
In the final verse, the singer acknowledges that they have been lying to themselves again. They cannot feel the same intensity of emotion they once did, but they are not ready to let go of the feelings completely. The song leaves the listener with a sense of the singer's internal struggle to come to terms with their emotions and to accept the reality of the situation.
