The Perfect Lie... Life
Gotham City Heart Attack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could say what I wanted
I would scream and shout
I would tell this whole fucking world
Just to figure the system out
You don't really see the point
Of living this nightmare
You don't really see the point
Get the fucking point

Fuck you
Fuck heroism
Fuck faith
Fuck religion
Fuck love
Fuck honesty
Fuck god
Fuck you
Fuck rules
Fuck integrity
Fuck trust
Fuck war
Fuck dreams
Fuck hope
Fuck authority
Fuck you

If I could say what I wanted
I would scream and shout
I would tell this whole fucking world
Just to figure the system out
You don't really see the point
Of living this nightmare
You don't really see the point
Get the fucking point

Why?
For what reason, what purpose?
Who's to say I'm right?
Stop saying I'm wrong
You're addicted to this shit
And I hope you fucking judge me

Take your choice sucker




The perfect lie, life
Why can't you see what I see?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gotham City Heart Attack's song "The Perfect Lie" convey a deep sense of frustration and disillusionment with societal norms and expectations. The first verse expresses the desire to speak freely and honestly about the flaws and injustices in the world, but feeling constrained by the system that suppresses such voices. The repetition of the phrase "Get the fucking point" emphasizes the urgency and frustration of trying to make others understand the brokenness of the world.


The following verses are a defiant rejection of various aspects of society and authority, with the repetition of "Fuck" serving as a powerful assertion of defiance and anger. Each line lists different concepts and institutions - heroism, faith, love, religion, among others - that the singer is rejecting, possibly due to feeling let down or disillusioned by them. The raw emotion in these lines conveys a strong sense of rebellion against societal expectations and norms.


The questioning tone in the lines "Why? For what reason, what purpose? Who's to say I'm right? Stop saying I'm wrong" suggests a search for meaning and purpose in a world that often feels devoid of both. The reference to being judged by others and the dismissive term "sucker" indicate a feeling of being misunderstood or unfairly criticized for speaking out against the status quo.


The closing lines, "Take your choice suckers, The perfect lie, life, Why can't you see what I see?" challenge the listener to question their own perceptions and beliefs, suggesting that the comfortable lies we tell ourselves about society and life may not reflect the harsh realities experienced by others. Overall, the lyrics of "The Perfect Lie" by Gotham City Heart Attack speak to a deep sense of disillusionment, anger, and a desire for authenticity and truth in a world filled with superficiality and hypocrisy.
