Deceive Me
Dakrua Lyrics

The lyrics to Dakrua's "Deceive Me" explore the emotions of a person who is coming to the realization that their partner is not genuine in their love. The first line of the verse, "Daylight dreams so coloured" suggest a sense of naivete or idealism that may be clouding the singer's judgment. These dreams are losing their way under "Ego skies," suggesting that the partner's self-centeredness is blocking the view of what's really happening in the relationship.

Despite the lack of sleep, the singer is starting to realize that the reasons behind their partner's actions are not based in true love. The chorus's repetition of "keep on coming just for yourself" indicate that the singer feels their partner is using them for their own benefit, with no regard for the other person's feelings. The frozen lips that cheat the singer's face are a powerful metaphor for the deceit they are experiencing. The partner may be going through the motions of a loving relationship, but the lack of warmth in their kiss is starting to become apparent.

The second verse continues the theme of internal conflict between the singer's emotions and logic. The "inner screams" take over in the empty nights, suggesting a sense of desperation and loneliness. The echoes of past lives are calling for a return to a time when reasons were clearer and love was more authentic, but the singer's eyes are clouded by the partner's lies.

The final line, "love is poison for those who lie and for those who cannot cry," sums up the theme of the song. Love can be a powerful force, but in the wrong hands it becomes toxic. The singer recognizes that their partner's lies are poisoning their relationship and that love is only genuine when both partners are willing to be vulnerable.
