Little White Lies
Flyte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When they're playing that song cause they told you to
If man makes God in his own image
It doesn't mean that it makes it true
Just a little white lie, little white lie
Bearing over to do
Little white lies, little white lies
Cause love, cause love
And it's killing you
Just a little white, little white lie
Well you make a little money
Giving weight in good measure
Keep your numbers high
And the rules at bay
You could wind up in the Metro Guilty Pleasures
Once you get your name in that little black book
You can sign your life away
To little white lies, little white lies
Bearing over to do
Little white lies, little white lies
Hanging over you
Cause love, cause love and it's killing you
Just a little white lie, little white lie
I found the lumps of coal
You can't say it's over
If you don't look up, you won't catch my eye
I wonder what it feels to wake up sober
And you don't want to hear any soundbites
Little white lies, little white lies
Little white lies, little white lies
Little white lies, little white lies
Little white lies, little white lies
In "Little White Lies," Flyte uses vivid and melancholic lyrics to explore the themes of deception, disillusionment, and the dark side of fame. The opening lyrics express the singer's frustration with the superficial nature of mainstream music, as it lacks authenticity and relies on the commercial interests of the industry. The next lines suggest that when humans create gods or idols in their own image, it does not necessarily make it valid or real. The song hints that the truth is sometimes obscured or denied for the sake of appearances and conformity, which leads to a world of little white lies.
The chorus repeats the term "little white lies" as a reminder of how trivial yet corrosive deceptions can be. The phrase "bearing over to do" shows how lies can weigh down and burden a person's conscience. The lyrics go on to suggest that lies can lead to destructive behavior such as drug abuse, as the singer feels trapped by the expectations of the music industry. The lines "you can sign your life away" and "keeping your numbers high" further convey the idea that chasing fame and fortune can come at a steep price of losing one's identity and creativity. The song ends on a somber note, as the singer reflects on the emptiness of their life and the futility of chasing after illusions.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't understand that sound on the radio
I am confused by the music on the radio
When they're playing that song cause they told you to
The radio is only playing that song because they were told to
If man makes God in his own image
If people create God to be like themselves
It doesn't mean that it makes it true
It doesn't mean that God actually exists
Just a little white lie, little white lie
Just a small untruth
Bearing over to do
weighing heavily on you
Hanging over you
making you feel guilty
Cause love, cause love
Because of love, because of a relationship
And it's killing you
It is causing you pain and emotional distress
Well you make a little money
You are earning a small amount of money
Giving weight in good measure
Providing a quality product or service
Keep your numbers high
Maintain a high level of business activity
And the rules at bay
Ignoring the law or ethical standards
You could wind up in the Metro Guilty Pleasures
You might end up in a trashy publication for doing something wrong
Once you get your name in that little black book
Once you are on someone's list
You can sign your life away
You might end up getting into a bad situation
I found the lumps of coal
I discovered the unpleasant truth
You can't say it's over
You cannot pretend that the situation is resolved
If you don't look up, you won't catch my eye
If you don't pay attention, we won't connect
I wonder what it feels to wake up sober
I imagine what it would feel like to be free from the burden of addiction
And you don't want to hear any soundbites
You don't want to hear any more lies or excuses
Little white lies, little white lies
Small untruths
Little white lies, little white lies
Small untruths
Little white lies, little white lies
Small untruths
Little white lies, little white lies
Small untruths

This is the saddest song I’ve ever heard. Makes me want to cry, but I can’t get it out of my head.

There is a mistake in your information. This UK band Flyte was formed in 2013. You are mixing them up with another band which is also called Flyte.
