Liar Liar
Avicii Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why on earth won't tell the truth?
Liar, liar
Can't nobody see the lie of you?
Follow you to dust
Leaving footprints on the clouds as we're walking home
Iron hearts all turn to rust
Is this apocalypse?
Chasing shadows, living dreams that don't exist
Anymore
We need to find a way
Well, we are who we are, and we're all going under
When the past with the last and will last until under
Liar, liar
Why on earth won't tell the truth?
Liar, liar
Can't nobody see the lie of you?
Wall closing in your head
Counting heartbeats 'til the feeling's good and gone
On a dark path there to watch
A sad greed pouring rain over everything
You'll think it's apocalypse
With the whispers of the sand and the sun eclipsed
Forever more
We need to find a way
Well, we are who we are, and we're all going under
When the past with the last and will last until under
Liar, liar
Why on earth won't tell the truth?
Liar, liar
Can't nobody see the lie of you?
They keep talking but I can't hear them, no
I just sit there and watch them come and go
There might be something underneath it all
But at least I'll find, we'll all find out in the end
But at least I'll find, we'll all find out in the end
The song "Liar Liar" by Avicii addresses themes like deceit, confusion and hopelessness in the midst of chaos. The song begins with direct and accusatory lines, "Liar, liar, why on earth won't tell the truth?" implying that the singer is dealing with someone who is not being truthful. The lyrics go on to question the deceptive person's motives, asking if anyone else can see through the lies.
The rest of the song hints at a greater sense of confusion and despair. The singer feels trapped and follows a dark path, feeling like they're in the midst of an apocalypse. The repetition of the phrase "We need to find a way" suggests a longing for a solution to emerge. The lyric "They keep talking but I can't hear them, no. I just sit there and watch them come and go" highlights the singer's sense of being lost and hidden in their inner turmoil, as the outside world carries on without their input. Despite it all, the singer still hopes to find answers, even if they have to wait until the end.

LYRICS (as close as I could transcribe them)
Liar, liar! Oh you don't ever tell the truth
Liar, liar! Can't nobody see if I approve?
Follow you to dust
Leavin' footprints on the clouds as we're walkin' home
Iron hearts all turn to rust
By tears and the days gonna demonstrate
It speaks apocalypse
Chasin' shadows, livin' dreams that don't exist, anymore
We need to find a way
Find a way
Find a way
Find a way
Find a way
Well, we are, who we are, and we're all goin' under
We're the past, we're the last, and will last until we're under
Liar, liar! Oh you don't ever tell the truth
Liar, liar! Can't nobody see if I approve?
All closed and in your head
Counting heartbeats till the feeling's good and gone
On a dark path in a rush
Sky clears all the rain over everything
Hear this apocalypse
Where the whispers and the sand and the sun eclipse, forevermore
We need to find a way
Find a way
Find a way
Find a way
Find a way
Well, we are, who we are, and we're all goin' under
We're the past, we're the last, and will last until we're under
Liar, liar! Oh you don't ever tell the truth
Liar, liar! Can't nobody see if I approve?
People talkin' but I can hear them, noo!
I just sit there and watch them come and go
There might be something underneath it all
But at least I'll find what I'll find out in the morn
At least I'll find what I'll find out in the morn

Follow you to dust
Leaving footprints on the clouds as we're walking home
Iron hearts all turn to rust
By tears and the daze on a diamond street
Kiss these apoca-lips
Chasing shadows of ideals that don't exist, anymore ~~~
We need to find a way
We are, who we are, when we're all going under
When the past with the last and will last until we're under
We are, who we are, when we're all going under
When the past with the last and will last until we're under
Liar, liar !!!!!
