Gothminister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or do you feel lost in the vortex of nightmares
Liar - I can sense your affection
In whats been feeding on the lies and redemption
You made your bed on the throne of deception
Back then your destiny was never a question
But now I stand here with you faith in my hands
Do you fear I'll deceive you
Liar - in this darkness where is your God
Where is your soul divine
Liar - can you answer what is the truth
'Cause something died tonight
Can you breathe the filthy air, so tell me how it feels
Can you learn to love someone if you cant see what is real
Can you feel the burning fear that tears you up inside
And you don't sleep at night 'cause creatures disembowel all your dreams
Liar - in this darkness where is your God
Where is your soul divine
Liar - can you answer what is the truth
'Cause something died tonight
Well I don't want you and I don't need you
You made your bed on the throne of deception
Back then your destiny was never a question
Liar - in this darkness where is your God
Where is your soul divine
Liar - can you answer what is the truth
'Cause something died
Liar - in this darkness where is your God
Where is your soul divine
Liar - can you answer what is the truth
'Cause something died tonight
The lyrics for Gothminister's song Liar seem to be about confronting someone who has been living a life of deceit and lies, questioning their belief in a divine power and their ability to distinguish reality from illusion. The first verse asks whether the liar believes in a future or not, suggesting that they may be lost in a world of nightmares due to their deceptive ways. The second verse talks about the liar's bed being made on the throne of deception and how they are now facing the consequences of their actions. The chorus repeatedly calls the liar out for not knowing the "truth" and implies that something has died because of their lies.
The song seems to be exploring the idea of trust and deception, and how difficult it is to navigate these concepts in a world that can be cruel and unforgiving. The dark imagery of the song, with mentions of creatures disemboweling dreams and a filthy air, adds to the atmosphere of mistrust and uncertainty. The repeated questioning of where the liar's god and soul are suggests that the singer has lost faith in conventional ideas of morality and is seeking answers from an alternative source.
Overall, the lyrics for Liar are a powerful and evocative exploration of what it means to be truthful and to trust in the world, and how difficult and painful it can be when those principles are broken.
Line by Line Meaning
Liar - do you believe in the future
Are you capable of trusting the unknown?
Or do you feel lost in the vortex of nightmares
Do your worst fears tower over your plans and hopes?
Liar - I can sense your affection
I perceive the attachment you've formed to falsehoods and forgiveness
In whats been feeding on the lies and redemption
In what's been nurturing the inauthenticities and compensations you've basked in
You made your bed on the throne of deception
You established your position by deceit and falsehood
Back then your destiny was never a question
There was no doubt in your fate back then when you were not held accountable
But now I stand here with you faith in my hands
Your confidence is under my scrutiny and control
Well do you fear my revenge
Do you dread the retribution I can enact
Do you fear I'll deceive you
Are you apprehensive of being misled by me
Liar - in this darkness where is your God
In this obscurity, where is your divine power?
Where is your soul divine
Where is your pure essence and character
Liar - can you answer what is the truth

'Cause something died tonight
Some foundation of authenticity was eliminated tonight

Can you learn to love someone if you cant see what is real
Can you develop an attachment to another person without comprehending reality?
Can you feel the burning fear that tears you up inside
Can you sense the scorching anxiety that eats away your insides?

You are unnecessary and unwanted in my life
