Liar Girl
BOøWY Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blind 越しの空は紫の velvet
たわいの無いうそで君を見失いそうさ
蒼い吐息だけ illusion time
二人溶けてゆく
今夜ケアレスな悪魔を気取ろう
Sophia の足りない天使のために
忘れさせておくれ illusion time
秘密の仕草で

Oh baby試すのはもうやめにするよ
傷つくけれどマジな恋だから
Liar girl but it's all right
Liar girl but it's all right
Liar girl but it's all right
Liar girl but it's all right

Jealousy なんて言葉は捨ててしまおう
言い訳もなしに抱き合えばいい
もう一度おくれ illusion time
得意の奇蹟を
そして上手にだましておくれ
愛はいつも気まぐれが似合イサ
Liar girl but it's all right
Liar girl but it's all right
Liar girl but it's all right
Liar girl but it's all right (it's all right)
Liar girl but it's all right (it's all right)
Liar girl but it's all right (it's all right)
Liar girl but it's all right (it's all right)

Liar girl but it's all right (it's all right)
Liar Girl

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of BOØWY's song “Liar Girl” speak about a relationship that is filled with lies and illusions. The first verse describes a purple velvet sky that one can see through the blinds, and how the lies that have been told are enough to make one lose sight of the truth. The illusionary time that the singer describes is the moment when the two people in the relationship come together and seem to forget all of the secrets and deceptions that have been keeping them apart.

The chorus is an interesting repetition of “Liar girl but it's all right”, which suggests acceptance of the lies that this girl is telling. The second verse also speaks of abandoning jealousy and making up after a fight. The desire to create an illusion again is mentioned, and it is suggested that love is always fickle and unpredictable. The singer tells the girl to keep lying because their love is real, even if it's based on dishonesty.

Overall, the song seems to suggest that the lies in this relationship don't matter if the love between the two people is strong enough. The repetition of “Liar girl but it's all right” almost becomes a mantra by the end of the song, driving home the message that even if the trust is gone, the love can still remain.
