Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would be the winner
Baby, I thought
I could easily deal with this
Baby, I thought
I know the rules!
But in the end,
No one's to win and
When I look into your
Pretty, pretty eyes
I could cry, 'cause now I know,
I know that, they lie
Baby, I thought
I would know you better
Baby, I thought
I could read your thoughts
But maybe, baby,
I'm little a rad of love
I've learnt to despair
L-O-V-E, that's where it goes!
When I look into your
Pretty, pretty eyes
I could cry, 'cause now I know,
I know that, they lie
Baby, now
Everything is broken
I blame myself that
I'm still thinking of you
But, unfortunately that's
Still a kind of link
But when you raise
Your glass to me,
You refuse to drink!
When I look into your
Pretty, pretty eyes
I could cry, 'cause now I know,
Now I know that, they lie
When I look into your
Pretty, pretty eyes
I could cry, 'cause now I know,
I know they, they lie
They lie
The lyrics to "They Lie" by Black Cat Zoot explores the theme of deception and betrayal in a romantic relationship. The singer of the song starts off feeling confident in their ability to navigate the complexities of love and relationships. They believed that they were the winner and knew the rules, but in the end, no one wins, and no one loses, implying that the game of love is unpredictable and uncontrollable.
As the song unfolds, the singer realizes that their partner has been lying to them. Their pretty eyes, which the singer once admired, are now a source of sadness as they have come to signify the deception in the relationship. The singer thought they knew their partner well, but now they have learned to despair, and the once tender feeling of love has turned into heartbreak.
In the final verse, the singer acknowledges that everything is broken, and they struggle to move on from the relationship. The chorus repeats the idea that the partner's eyes are lying, underscoring the theme of deception.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the painful realization that trust has been broken in a relationship. The lyrics capture the heartache, disappointment, and confusion that come with discovering that someone we care about has not been truthful.
