Living A Lie
Casanova Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've come a long way
From a small town girl
You were looking out for number one
In a brand new world
With your face upon the front page
It seemed to work out fine
Let me give you some advice
And it looks like paradise
You're like an angel in the dark
Who lost her soul

Surrounded by your so-called friends
You think you're great
Success is short, it can't last long
And that's your first mistake
Although you're gorgeous and admired
You sell your soul to hell
But when you're falling out of grace
I'll see the tears run down your face
You're like an angel in the dark
Who lost her soul

You've been living a lie
You can give it a try
To wake up from your dreams for one night
You've been living a lie
Better say goodbye
And I'll take care of, I'll take care of you

Yeah...

The story that I tell my friend
The words are true
Some people, they can make it
It's all up to you
Remember, it's your destiny
The lifeline in your hand
You take a bottle full of wine
'Cause it's spirit feels so fine
But you will never drink away
Your deepest fears

You've been living a lie
You can give it a try
To wake up from your dreams for one night
You've been living a lie
Better open your eyes
And I'll take care of you

I understand your dreams
I know, what you've been reaching for
Try and be one day, the girl that I adore

Yeah!

You've been living a lie
You can give it a try
To wake up from your dreams for one night
You've been living a lie
Better say goodbye
And I'll take care of, I'll take care of you

Oh...
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, oh, baby
You've been living a lie

You've been living a lie
You can give it a try
To wake up from your dreams
To wake up from your dreams
You've been living a lie




Better say goodbye
And I'll take care of, I'll take care of you

Line by Line Meaning

You've come a long way
You have made progress


From a small town girl
From being a resident of a small town


You were looking out for number one
You prioritized yourself above all else


In a brand new world
In a new environment


With your face upon the front page
Your image was on the cover of magazines


It seemed to work out fine
It appeared to have positive outcomes


Let me give you some advice
Allow me to offer you guidance


And it looks like paradise
And it appears like heaven on earth


You're like an angel in the dark
You appear to be innocent despite your actions


Who lost her soul
You have betrayed your core values


Surrounded by your so-called friends
With people you refer to as your friends around you


You think you're great
You believe that you are exceptional


Success is short, it can't last long
Achievements are temporal


And that's your first mistake
That is your initial error


Although you're gorgeous and admired
Even though you are attractive and well-regarded


You sell your soul to hell
You compromise your principles for material gain


But when you're falling out of grace
But when you lose favor


I'll see the tears run down your face
I will observe you sobbing


You've been living a lie
You have not been honest with yourself and others


You can give it a try
You may attempt


To wake up from your dreams for one night
To ditch your illusions just for one evening


Better say goodbye
It's better to make your exit


And I'll take care of, I'll take care of you
And I will be responsible for you


The story that I tell my friend
The narrative that I narrate to my companion


The words are true
The words are veracious


Some people, they can make it
Some individuals can become successful


It's all up to you
It all depends on you


Remember, it's your destiny
Bear in mind that it's your fate


The lifeline in your hand
The vital opportunity in your possession


You take a bottle full of wine
You consume a bottle of wine


'Cause it's spirit feels so fine
Because its content feels good


But you will never drink away
Nevertheless, you can't drink away


Your deepest fears
Your profound trepidation


Better open your eyes
You need to stir out of your obliviousness


Oh...
Oh...


No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no


Better say goodbye
It's better to make your exit


And I'll take care of, I'll take care of you
And I will be responsible for you
