Briggs was born in London to Scottish parents from Bishopbriggs, Scotland, which inspired her professional name. At age four, she moved to Tokyo with her parents. She sang in public for the first time at a Tokyo karaoke bar, and immediately realized she wanted to continue performing throughout her life. Growing up with the city's karaoke bar traditions and hearing music from Motown musicians to The Beatles at home also influenced her to pursue music. She started writing her own songs at age seven, which she would perform for her family. She moved to Hong Kong at age 10, where she lived until she was 18. After graduating from Hong Kong International School she moved to Los Angeles, California, and attended college at Musician's Institute

Got me lyin' lyin' for your love
Am I losing losing myself
When I'm lyin' lyin' for your love?
I was in chains, I was in fire
I was in deep, I was a liar
Dyin' dyin' for your love
Nothing remains, I didn't mind it
Lyin' lyin' for your love
For your love
(For your love)
In the silence, silence we drown
Sometimes violence, she makes no sound
Just a shadow in the darkness
And the darkness devours
In the silence, silence
I was in chains, I was in fire
I was in deep, I was a liar
Dyin' dyin' for your love
I was insane, I was so blinded
Nothing remains, I didn't mind it
Lyin' lyin' for your love
For your love
(For your love)
I was in chains, I was in fire
I was in deep, I was a liar
Dyin' dyin' for your love
I was insane, I was so blinded
Nothing remains, I didn't mind it
Lyin' lyin' for your love
For your love
(For your love)
The lyrics of Bishop Briggs's song Lyin' explore the theme of being trapped in a toxic relationship. The chorus vividly describes the singer's situation, in which she's caught up in a web of lies for the sake of love. She questions whether she's losing herself by constantly lying for her partner's approval or if she's already lost herself. The singer admits to being a liar and feeling insane, yet despite everything, she's willing to continue lying and dying for love.
The second verse takes a darker turn, describing the sense of drowning and being consumed by darkness. The line “sometimes violence, she makes no sound” could be interpreted as emotional violence, where the singer is silenced by her partner's actions. It is a metaphor for the suffocation the relationship is causing in her life, which is also the reason why the darkness devours.
Overall, the lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling with a toxic relationship and is trying to come to terms with the consequences of her actions. She admits to her own faults and is aware of the destructive nature of the relationship. The haunting melody and distinct heavy bassline perfectly capture the sense of entrapment of the lyrics, adding to the song's overall emotional weight.
