Quite inspired by their creative work and crazy music, she soon started playing on her fathers' old guitar.
She learned a few basic chords and pretty soon she realized that she wanted to learn more to have a tool to convey her groove and songs.

Liar
Christina Lux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'cause I didn't feel strong
strong enough to face
the pain I would cause
when I would close that door
maybe I didn't find
the right words yet
but I can't help but going my way
can't help but letting you down
'cause I don't wanna be a liar
never fake one little bit
i love you way to much
to walk on all we've got
when I leave you'll be set free
I hope so much we could
meet someday
when the wounds are healed,
for that I pray and then we'll talk
we'll laugh and have good times and
do the things that friends would do
'cause I don't wanna be a liar...
there are no words to really tell
'cause when we're hurt
we tend to judge
until some grass has grown,
some water has flowed and
we'll be free to see again
'cause I don't wanna be a liar...
In "Liar," Christina Lux explores the difficult topic of ending a relationship. The song speaks to a feeling of being torn between staying in a relationship and telling the truth about one's feelings, and the desire to be honest and let go. The opening verse of "maybe I've been waiting too long, 'cause I didn't feel strong, strong enough to face the pain I would cause when I would close that door" highlights that the singer has been in this situation for a while, unsure of what to do. They recognize that ending the relationship will be painful for their partner, but are struggling to find the right words to explain their decision. The chorus "I don't wanna be a liar, never fake one little bit, I love you way too much, to walk on all we've got, when I leave you'll be set free" is a clear expression of their desire to be honest and sincere, and to respect their partner's feelings by ending the relationship.
Nevertheless, the decision to break up is difficult, as the singer envisages a future where they can still be friends ("we'll laugh and have good times and do the things that friends would do"), but acknowledges that it may not be possible right away. The bridge "there are no words to really tell, 'cause when we're hurt we tend to judge, until some grass has grown, some water has flowed and we'll be free to see again" suggests that while emotions are currently raw, with time, healing and growth is possible, and the possibility of friendship may later arise.
