Fine Lies
Bass Drum of Death Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your look, it buries me
And I’ve lost all my friends
I don’t know where to begin
I see you whispering
You whisper back at me
And I don’t know what to do
I’m a fool for you
I hear you talking
The words I cannot see
And I can’t make my ends
I don’t know where to begin
I see you whispering
Fine lies you’re telling me
And I don’t know what to do
I’m a fool for you
The lyrics in "Fine Lies" by Bass Drum of Death describe the feelings of someone who is deeply infatuated with another person, to the point where they feel lost without them and are willing to believe anything they say, even if it may not be true. The verses depict the singer's struggle with his emotions, as he sees the object of his affection walking and whispering, and feels overwhelmed by her beauty and charm.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's loneliness, as he acknowledges that he has lost all his friends and doesn't know where to begin in dealing with his feelings. He knows that he is being told "fine lies," but he is willing to believe them because he is so enamored with this person. The repetition of the line "I'm a fool for you" emphasizes the depth of his infatuation and his willingness to be taken advantage of.
