Myths You Made
Church Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the failing light
With the feeling's gone (feeling's gone)
I'll ask you twice tonight
To make sure I'm wrong (sure I'm)
Still you looked to fold in two behind the shade
Are you lying there in wait

Here's all the love you lost
The myths you made
Here's all the things you didn't say

All the days and hours
Pass by slow (pass by slow)
With the crowded tears
And the lights on low (lights on)
If lips mean some beauty freeze again
Ripple up in flames

Here's all the time you took
The myths you made

Here's all the things you didn't say
The myths you made
The things you didn't say

You gotta get a story
Where there's love (where there's love)
With my hand on the bible
And the fable done (fable)
Still 'til all the little details are exposed
Here comes the final blow

Here's all the love you lost
The myths you made
Here's all the things you didn't say
Here's all the time you took
The myths you made
Here's all the things you didn't say

Overall Meaning

In Church's song "Myths You Made," the lyrics dive deep into themes of loss, regret, and the weight of unspoken words. The verses paint a picture of a failing relationship where the feeling has gone, and one partner suspects the other is lying about their true feelings. The chorus then repeats the phrase "here's all the love you lost, the myths you made, here's all the things you didn't say," as if to convey that the weight of what could have been said, but wasn't, is just as heavy as any other heartbreak.


The second verse adds to the melancholy tone with imagery of time passing slowly and tears crowding in, while lips that could mean beauty are frozen. The bridge then brings in a sense of urgency, telling the listener they need to get a love story with a happy ending before the final blow comes.


Overall, "Myths You Made" is a poignant exploration of the idea that the things we don't say can be just as powerful as the things we do, and that we may not fully realize the weight of our words until it's too late.


Line by Line Meaning

When the failing light
As the day comes to an end


With the feeling's gone (feeling's gone)
As emotions and passions fade


I'll ask you twice tonight
I'll ask you repeatedly


To make sure I'm wrong (sure I'm)
To confirm my doubts


Still you looked to fold in two behind the shade
You hide behind shades, keeping your true intentions secret


Are you lying there in wait
Are you waiting patiently for something to happen


Here's all the love you lost
I am presenting to you all the love you've lost


The myths you made
The false stories you told yourself


Here's all the things you didn't say
I am presenting to you all the words you left unspoken


All the days and hours
Countless hours and days


Pass by slow (pass by slow)
Seem to drag on slowly


With the crowded tears
Amidst tears and emotions


And the lights on low (lights on)
With dim lighting


If lips mean some beauty freeze again
If words of beauty freeze on your lips once again


Ripple up in flames
Ignite intense feelings


Here's all the time you took
I am presenting to you all the time you took


The things you didn't say
The words you purposely left unsaid


You gotta get a story
You need to come up with a believable story


Where there's love (where there's love)
A story that revolves around love


With my hand on the bible
I vow on the bible


And the fable done (fable)
And once the fiction is finished


Still 'til all the little details are exposed
Until every single detail is revealed


Here comes the final blow
The ultimate truth will come out
