They are known as the first and only band signed on to Marilyn Manson's short-lived vanity label, Posthuman, in 2001. It produced their breakout album, 2000 Years of Human Error, that earned them recognition by Ozzy Osbourne and landed them a spot on Ozzfest in the same year on the second stage. Ever since their breakout album, the band has steadily developed a stronger fan base.

Their music is characterised as a mixture of dramatic goth rock and appealing dance beats with an atmospheric, industrial soundscape. It is further enhanced by the clean, terrifyingly deep vocal talents of lead vocalist/guitarist Jason C Miller and his morbidly gothic lyrical content.

Current Members:

Jason C Miller: vocals, guitar
Mike Miller: guitar
Ullrich Hepperlin (method): bass, programming
Glendon Crain: drums

Jason C. Miller is also working on his own solo career which incorporates southern rock and country

Trapped In Your Lies
Godhead Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You, you can try to keep me down
Pull me under watch me drown
Given half a chance to be
I know I can break this tragedy

Nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
Gotta get away

Get away from you
As I look to the sky

I'm trapped in your lies
You've pushed me too far this time
I'm opening up my eyes
I see your demise
Through your disguise this time
I'm breaking down your lies

Now, now you try to set me free
Let your guilt wash over me
Given half a chance to see
I know this is just concessionary

Nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
Gotta get away
Get away from you
As I look to the sky

I'm trapped in your lies
You've pushed me too far this time
I'm opening up my eyes
I see your demise
Through your disguise this time
I'm breaking down your lies

I'm trapped in your lies
You've pushed me too far this time
I'm opening up my eyes
I see your demise
Through your disguise this time
I'm breaking down your lies

I'm trapped in your lies
You've pushed me too far this time
I'm opening up my eyes
I see your demise

Through your disguise this time
I'm breaking down your lies

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Godhead's song "Trapped in Your Lies" speak to a feeling of being held down and suffocated by someone's deceit. The singer asserts that they can break the hold that this person has on them, and that they need to get away to do so. The repeated refrain of "I'm trapped in your lies" highlights the weight that the singer feels because of this person's dishonesty.

The verses suggest that this person has tried to play both sides, at first trying to hold the singer down, and then attempting to set them free. However, the singer seems to have seen through their manipulations and recognizes that any apparent change of heart is just a ploy. Through the use of imagery ("pull me under watch me drown") and repetition, the lyrics convey a sense of claustrophobia and desperation.

Overall, "Trapped in Your Lies" can be interpreted as a song about overcoming the influence of someone who has lied to and controlled you. The lyrics reflect the struggle to break free from that hold and the recognition that the only way to do so is to see the lies for what they are.
