Telling Lies
Grafton Primary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know just what you mean, it's a crazy scene.
Turn out the light, every thing's too bright
Even at midnight.
The shining silver screen, no one can hear you scream
When your just a scene.
A sweet believer, be my receiver and i'll never ever leave ya.
Won't you please.
Wake up!
They tell you that the old, are always the wise, but they're telling lies.
They think you need protection, instead of just direction
But life is not perfection.
Don't need those tiny little pills, the one's the doctor deals
When he's trying to steal your will.
I know just what you mean, it's a crazy scene
Sleep so deep, when you dream.
hey tell you that the old, are always the wise, but they're telling lies.
They think you need protection, instead of just direction
But life is not perfection.
Don't need those tiny little pills, the one's the doctor deals
When he's trying to steal your will.
I know just what you mean
It's a crazy, crazy, crazy scene.
[repeat x2]
I know, you been, question
But no has the answer
no one has the answer
no one has the answer
no one has the answer.
The lyrics to Grafton Primary's "Telling Lies" explore the idea of not fully trusting authority figures and their advice. The singer suggests that even though people may say that the old are always the wise, it is not necessarily true because they are telling lies. The song begins with the singer describing a dream state where everything is too bright, and the shining silver screen does not let anyone hear them scream. However, the singer is also aware of being a sweet believer and wanting someone to be their receiver, which could suggest a desire for comfort and trust.
As the song progresses, the singer warns against relying on pills and doctors who may try to steal one's will. Instead, they suggest that life is not perfection and one should focus on direction rather than protection. The repetition of the line "I know just what you mean, it's a crazy scene" emphasizes the chaotic and confusing nature of trying to navigate life and its messages. The final repetition of "no one has the answer" speaks to the idea that there may not be a clear answer or solution to life's problems.
Overall, "Telling Lies" is a commentary on the complexities of navigating life's advice and messages, and suggests that one should not blindly trust authority figures, but instead focus on one's own direction and instincts.
