Liar
Fireflight feat. David Paul Pelsue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Empty prayers falling out your mouth.
Jesus said it better and He didn't have to shout.
Maybe if you change it you can get your way.
Just rearrange it and you can get paid.

A little more money comes in every day.
Faith and five dollars goes a long way.
Look at your pockets filled up with gold
But what's in your heart is making you cold.

And it's God bless you.
Because it's what you want.
And all our dreams come true.
When you get what you want.

All that I see when you start to cry.
Is the rock on your finger and gleam in your eye.
Your sad story is making me sick.
So change the channel cause it's getting thick.

Blind accusations is all you can say
But you'll say anything as long as you're paid.
Look for their weakness you feed on their need
But behind your eyes is nothing but greed.

Why do you lie to make me love you?
Is it your insecurity?




Have fun with your selfish ways and misguided thoughts
Cause you will always be, liar.

Overall Meaning

The song Liar by Fireflight feat. David Paul Pelsue is a powerful message about the dangers of greed and dishonesty. The opening lines, "Empty prayers falling out your mouth. Jesus said it better and He didn't have to shout," set the tone for the song's message about false devotion and manipulation. The lyrics discuss the temptation to use religion or other people's weaknesses to gain material wealth or status, and the hollowness of this pursuit. The chorus emphasizes the self-serving nature of this behavior, and the destructive impact it has on meaningful relationships.


The second verse further hammers home this message, with lines like, "Look at your pockets filled up with gold, But what's in your heart is making you cold," highlighting the toll that dishonesty takes on the soul. The final stanza is a scathing indictment of the liar's tactics, and a bitter acknowledgement that they will always be consumed by their own self-interest. The song's powerful message is reinforced by its driving rock beat and the impassioned, emotive vocals of both lead singers.
