liar
Cryptic Wisdom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't know which side that I'm gonna feed (oh, no)
I tried to be somebody good for you
For me, for them, it's true
But I get so misunderstood
I lose my cool, when I get blue
I start to bargain with angels
I noticed that you were stable
He says to me as I go
And I'm back right where I started from again
It's the way I cope with pain and find my head
I'm a liar and I'm angry, I'm so mad
I'm a liar, I'm a liar
Locked up in the room, energy feels like a tomb
There's a knock at the door and I just can't answer
I'm lit and I don't wanna move
How much did I just consumed
Cause I can't breathe and I can't see truth
Am I gonna die? Am I gonna lose my mind?
If I keep this up undo
Is it your fault? Is it my fault?
Who do I blame when I can't think right?
Is it cause I can't find love and I'm too damn selfish
And anyone close I fight
Am I that tight? That I'll see things go well
And just wanna mess it up and take a bite
All I really know right know is I can't find light
And rhymes are giving me... a fright
I tried to be somebody good for you
For me, for them, it's true
But I guess it's all misunderstood
I lose my cool, when i get blue
The lyrics of Cryptic Wisdom's song Liar communicate the inner battle and conflict that the artist experiences inside himself. The artist ponders the side that he's going to feed; he's caught up between being the better person that he thinks he is and the vicious part of him that threatens to take control. The artist has attempted to impress the people around him, to be the good guy that he believes he is, and not only for himself, but for them as well. However, he becomes misunderstood, and his effort to be the better person is not rewarded the way he had hoped. The artist loses his cool and becomes angry when he is down, and he then starts to bargain with angels, hoping to battle the devil.
The conflict within the artist creates a disconnect between him and the world. He chooses to keep everything to himself rather than share his deepest thoughts and fears with others. He is sinking deep into his own thoughts, and it feels like he is in a tomb. When someone comes to bring him out of his world, he's too overwhelmed to react or leave. He's consumed too much, and his mind is clouded, Which makes him wonder if he'll lose his mind, and ultimately die. He's blaming anyone around him and is questioning his attitude as he journeys through life. He fights anyone close, and he's so tight that he will do anything to mess things up and just take a bite. In the end, he gets misunderstood again, and he loses his cool once more.

There's a war inside of me that runs so deep (yeah)
I'm struggling with inner turmoil that is consuming me
And I don't know which side that I'm gonna feed (oh, no)
I'm unsure whether to listen to my positive or negative inner voice
I tried to be somebody good for you
I wanted to be a good person for you
For me, for them, it's true
And for myself and others as well
But I get so misunderstood
However, people often don't understand me
I lose my cool, when I get blue
And I struggle to maintain my composure when I'm feeling down
I start to bargain with angels
I try to make a deal with my better self
Devil won't leave me alone
But my negative inner voice won't stop talking to me
I noticed that you were stable
I realized that you are secure and grounded
He says to me as I go
My negative inner voice speaks to me
And I'm back right where I started from again
I'm stuck in the same cycle of negative thoughts and actions
It's the way I cope with pain and find my head
This is my way of dealing with emotional pain and regaining clarity of mind
I'm a liar and I'm angry, I'm so mad
I'm angry at myself for lying to others and myself about who I am
I'm a liar, I'm a liar
I can't seem to stop lying to myself and others
Locked up in the room, energy feels like a tomb
I feel trapped and suffocated in my own space
There's a knock at the door and I just can't answer
I'm unable to face the outside world, even when prompted
I'm lit and I don't wanna move
I'm under the influence and too lethargic to change anything
How much did I just consumed
I'm questioning how much I've taken
Cause I can't breathe and I can't see truth
I feel suffocated physically and emotionally, which is hindering my perception of reality
Am I gonna die? Am I gonna lose my mind?
I'm worried that my behavior will have long-term consequences on my wellbeing
If I keep this up undo
If I continue to behave this way, negative outcomes are inevitable
Is it your fault? Is it my fault?
I'm questioning who is responsible for my current state
Who do I blame when I can't think right?
I'm struggling to rationalize my own behavior and actions
Is it cause I can't find love and I'm too damn selfish
I'm wondering if my inability to find love is due to my own selfishness
And anyone close I fight
And I tend to push away anyone who gets too close to me
Am I that tight? That I'll see things go well
Am I so controlling that I can't let things go well?
And just wanna mess it up and take a bite
Do I have a self-destructive tendency to ruin good things?
All I really know right know is I can't find light
I'm struggling to find hope or positivity in my current emotional state
And rhymes are giving me... a fright
Even writing and expressing myself through music brings up fear and anxiety

As someone who is trying to crack his own code so to speak for the sake of making music, I have truly realized just how hard it was for you to write this. The vulnerability it took for you to write this. You killed it.

This song saved me. I was struggling with alot of family issues and I cocked a .45 and put it to my temple and I can't remember which one but one of your older songs was playing and it autoplayed to this one after the song ended and as soon as you started to sing about the war inside you and shit I just broke down crying because I swear I felt your pain. I love you so much because now I see the good in life. You saved me Cryp. I'll forever be in your debt.
