Living A Lie
Dark Nightmare Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your life is a world of doubt
You are searching for the hope
To keep you alive
Every night and day your eyes are bleeding
As you're trying to hold on to a lie
you raise your tired hands
save me free me from this pain
Lead me again to find my way
You live with suppositions all the time
And your mind is spinning like a wheel
Convict in a world of dying dreams
with no way out
You are walking this endless road alone
And the sadness drowns the horizon
And as you die alone
You are screaming and crying
And when you realize everything was a lie
You try to see but you refuse to believe
Waiting for salvation like a desert waiting for the rain
While the rain never comes
The lyrics of Dark Nightmare's song Living a Lie deal with a common human experience: the feeling of being lost and alone in a world that doesn't make sense. The song's opening lines convey a sense of desperation and confusion as the singer describes going "beyond the line of truth" into a "world of doubt." This search for hope to keep oneself alive is a familiar theme in many works of art, and it captures the essence of the human struggle.
The second stanza of the song describes the physical and emotional toll of living a lie. The singer's "eyes are bleeding" as they try to hold on to a falsehood that is tearing them apart from the inside out. The plea to be saved from the pain and to be led back to the right path underscores the sense of despair and desperation that pervades the song.
In the final stanza, the singer reflects on the consequences of living a life based on false assumptions. They are "convict in a world of dying dreams" with no escape, walking an "endless road" with nothing but loneliness and sadness on the horizon. The final lines of the song sum up the human condition: we wait for salvation, hoping that the rain will come and save us from our loneliness and pain, but often it never does.
Overall, Living a Lie is a powerful song that captures the human experience of searching for truth and hope in a world that often feels confusing and overwhelming. It speaks to the universal human need for connection and authenticity, and reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles.
