They Lie
Die Happy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Comin to a place where people go to To talk, to see and to be seen It makes you feel good, to see nice smiles And her nice words about yourself You think "I'm loved, they like me"
They lie, is it scareness or game They smile when I show my pain Why is this the taste if fame They lie, I cry
Lovely enemy
They lie, is it scareness or game They smile when I show my pain Why is this the taste if fame They lie, I cry
The song "They Lie" by Die Happy explores the theme of deception, specifically how people hide their true feelings behind lies and deceit. The song begins with the singer describing a social setting where people come to be seen and heard. Despite the apparent admiration and niceties, the singer has an underlying sense of dissatisfaction and suspicion. The words "They lie, is it scareness or game?" suggest that the deception is a tactic for self-preservation or manipulation.
The chorus of the song echoes this sentiment, with the singer lamenting how people smile when she shows her pain, but whether this is out of fear or a calculated move is unclear. The line "Why is this the taste of fame?" is especially poignant, suggesting that being in the public eye involves a certain level of deception and manipulation.
As the song progresses, the singer's sense of disillusionment increases. The world is getting larger, with more opportunities for people to dig into each other's lives and uncover hidden truths. The final line "Lovely enemy" is a somewhat ambiguous conclusion to the song, leaving room for interpretation. It could refer to the deceitful people themselves or the singer's own tendency to be drawn to toxic relationships.
Overall, "They Lie" is a powerful commentary on human nature and the complexities of interpersonal relationships.

Deutschlands beste Rockband, period! Die haben mich, als sie noch jung und hungrig waren, live schon so dermaßen weggeblasen.

Konečně jsem našla skupinu, kterou jsem si hned zamilovala. Martu úplně zbožňuju-jak na jevišti, tak v gymplu s ručením omezeným.
