Lie to Me
Dua Lipa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hmm, hmm

I'm numb and I'm broken
My wounds are so close
And I'm trying to tie a knot where
The bar is still open tonight, tonight
Put the cup to my lessons
I speak without thinking
And it'll all disappear if I
Just keep on drinking tonight, tonight

Why am I dealing with our pain?
The past won't go away
But a truth'd make it all change? No, no

So pour me a lie tonight
I've been living it up, living it up
'Til it feels alright, make me feel alive
So pour me a lie tonight
I've been living it up, living it up
'Til I lose my mind
At least I might feel something else

Open my eyes and the sky is in mourning
A part of me died, but a
New day is turning in light, in light
Confusion and heartache
I'm back where I started
I'm back at thе bar once
So dearly departеd last night, yeah

Why am I dealing with our pain?
The past won't go away
But a truth'd make it all change? No, no

So pour me a lie tonight
I've been living it up, living it up
'Til it feels alright, make me feel alive
So pour me a lie tonight
I've been living it up, living it up




'Til I lose my mind
At least I might feel something else

Walking around public spaces (grocery stores, etc), you sometimes can't help catching the music that's being playing on the speaker system

Sean Paul's 'No Lie' Ft. Dua Lipa
"Feel your eyes, they all over me
Don't be shy, take control of me
Get the vibe, it's gonna be lit tonight"

These types of songs are sensual and promote fornication, sensual 'live-in-the-moment' without a thought for future consequences, a type of life of carousing and partying but this leads people on the wrong path which ultimately ends in destruction (hell)

Solomon son of David, by divine wisdom that God gave him, had this proverb: There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Also it is written:
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Apostle Paul, by the wisdom and revelation given to him by God, wrote this:
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God

So we see that, continuing to sow to the flesh ultimately leads to destruction (the 'flesh' is spoken of in a spiritual sense, refering to the wicked ways of mankind's fallen/corrupt nature)

*read again how apostle Paul says "they that do such things". This is a contual, ongoing lifestyle of sin. We don't have to continue on the path to destruction. God offers us forgiveness if we repent (stop doing our evil works, the works of the flesh):

Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
- Ezekiel 18:27-28
