liar
CLAMM Lyrics

The lyrics of CLAMM’s song “Liar” describes a sense of impending doom that the artist cannot escape. Throughout the song, the repetition of the phrase “I know it’s coming for me” emphasizes the inevitability of the situation. The artist is terrified and lost, wondering what they can do to escape, and admitting that they have never been a winner. The “dark power” that is referenced suggests a force that is beyond the artist’s control.

The second half of the song goes on to describe the “black dog” that is chasing the artist. This metaphor for depression is further emphasized by the “black smog” that the artist is struggling to see through. The lyric “quick stop it with the laser punch” is a desperate plea for a quick fix or solution, but it is not clear what “it” refers to. The constant repetition of “liar liar liar” could be the artist confronting their own deception, or perhaps the deceit they feel is being directed towards them. The final lines of the song seem to suggest that the artist is overwhelmed and defeated by whatever force is after them.

Overall, the lyrics of “Liar” convey a sense of hopelessness and lack of control in the face of a dark and ominous force. The repeated use of visual metaphors, such as the “black dog” and “black smog,” helps to paint a haunting picture of the artist’s emotional state.
