liar
Daddy Was A Milkman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna good living
I gotta find love

There may be a god but
Might not be above

I'm free to make choices
But I hesitate

It's all up to me but
But if I fail - then it's fate

Liar, oh I'm a liar
Liar, oh I'm a liar

You say I'm good looking
But I got no face

It feels good to hold you
But I need some space

I should have some water
But I prefer wine

I'm totally lost now
But it'll be fine

Liar, oh I'm a liar
Liar, oh I'm a liar

I'd bring you some flowers
But I chopped them down

Oh I'm a good friend but
I'm just not around

I want understanding
But words are not there




I said I'm not looking
But you feel the stare

Overall Meaning

In Daddy Was A Milkman's song "Liar," the lyrics express the inner turmoil of someone trying to navigate life's complexities while facing their own shortcomings. The singer desires a good life and love, but questions the existence of a higher power. While acknowledging their freedom to choose, they hesitate, and the possibility of failure makes them feel helpless. The repetition of "liar" throughout the song can be seen as the character's self-accusation, admitting that they are not living to their fullest potential and perhaps deceiving themselves and others.


The next verse highlights the character's sense of detachment from themselves and others, despite external praise. They feel good when they are close to someone, yet they still crave space. They know what would be best for them, but they prefer to indulge their vices. As a result, they feel lost, but reassure themselves that everything will work out in the end. The lines "oh I'm a good friend but/I'm just not around" reveal a further sense of isolation, suggesting that while they may have people around, they are not truly present.


In summary, the lyrics of "Liar" reveal the struggle and self-doubt of someone coming to terms with their own weaknesses and trying to find their way through life's challenges.
