Lie To Me
Depeche Mode Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come on and lie to me
Tell me you love me
Say I'm the only one
Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell me you love me
Experiences have a lasting impression (impression)
But words once spoken
Don't mean a lot now (now)
Belief is the way
The way of the innocent (innocent)
And when I say innocent
I should say naïve (naïve)
So lie to me
But do it with sincerity
Make me listen
Just for a minute
And make me think
There's some truth in it
Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell me you love me
Say I'm the only one
Come on and lay with me (lay with me)
Come on and lie to me (lie to me)
Tell me you love me (love me)
Say I'm the only one
Promises made for convenience
Aren't necessarily
What we need
Truth is a word
That's lost its meaning
The truth has become
Merely half-truth
So lie to me
Like they do it in the factory
Make me think that at the end of the day
Some great reward
Will be coming my way
Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell me you love me
Say I'm the only one
Come on and lay with me (lay with me)
Come on and lie to me (lie to me)
Tell me you love me (love me)
Say I'm the only one (only one)
Come on and lay with me (lay with me)
Come on and lie to me (lie to me)
Tell me you love me (love me)
Say I'm the only one (only one)
Come on and lay with me (lay with me)
Come on and lie to me (lie to me)
Tell me you love me (love me)
Say I'm the only one (ooh)
The song "Lie To Me" by Depeche Mode explores the complexities of relationships and human emotions. It seems as though the singer is desperate for love, attention, and validation. In the chorus, the singer asks their partner to lie to them, to say that they love them and that they are the only one. This suggests that the singer is aware of their partner's infidelity or unreliability but would rather hear a comforting lie than face the harsh reality.
The verses touch on the power of words and how once they are spoken, it can be hard to undo their impact. The lyrics suggest that believing in something can be more important than it being true, highlighting the idea of ignorance is bliss. The second verse makes a statement about promises made for convenience and how they may not be what is needed. The truth, once a significant value, has lost its meaning and has become half-truth.
Overall, the song speaks to the human need for love, connection, and validation. However, it also highlights the struggles and difficulties that come with relationships, and sometimes the comfort of a lie is easier to bear than the truth.

Come on and lay with me
Come close and spend time with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell me something untrue but do it convincingly
Tell me you love me
Express affection towards me
Say I'm the only one
Tell me that I'm the most important person in your life
Experiences have a lasting impression (impression)
Memories leave a strong impact on us
But words once spoken
What's said cannot be unsaid
Don't mean a lot now (now)
Words lose value over time
Belief is the way
Trust and faith are important
The way of the innocent (innocent)
The perspective of someone who is inexperienced or naive
And when I say innocent
Specifically referring to the naïve perspective
I should say naïve (naïve)
Emphasizing that lack of experience or naiveté
So lie to me
Tell me something untrue
But do it with sincerity
Act as if what you're saying is genuine
Make me listen
Grab and hold my attention
Just for a minute
Only for a short period of time
And make me think
Make me ponder or consider something
There's some truth in it
Even though it's untrue, there's an element of reality to it
Promises made for convenience
Commitments formed for the sake of ease or comfort
Aren't necessarily
Do not always
What we need
What is necessary or beneficial for us
Truth is a word
The concept of honesty
That's lost its meaning
It no longer carries the full weight or importance it once did
The truth has become
What used to be true has changed
Merely half-truth
Only partially accurate information
Like they do it in the factory
Comparing the deception to an assembly line of products
Make me think that at the end of the day
Give me hope that something positive will come out of it
Some great reward
A significant and beneficial outcome
Will be coming my way
Will be given to or bestowed upon me
Ooh
An exclamation of emotion, possibly of longing or desire

Yes,. They are so grand. But so many people don't listen to whole albums and radio stations play the same songs over and over.
Octagon9
One of the best for sure
Martin Warford
This, Stories of Old and If You Want are underrated tracks IMO. It shows how strong Some Great Reward was from start to finish.
Unapproved Truth
It was the epic beginning of Alan's orchestration.
