No Lie
Hairu Tokyo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My legs go numb when I think of you
No lie
I'm not falling for you
You waste my time
Over not loving you
You try so hard to swallow you pride
But if I don't say yes you'll commit suicide
Cause I'm not falling for you
Running after commas
Stunt while she throw a fit
Cuz everybody actin crazy
I don't need all this shit
Cuz I've been wasted
And I hate this
They tell me how to live
And I've been waking up
Faceless, I spent all my chips
Three a m wide awake
I can't feel my eyelids
Big belt heavyweight
You don't wanna fight this
Wait I'm up, said good luck
To anyone on my list
I'm not bout violence
But it could get violent
Three a m wide awake
I can't feel my eyelids
Big belt heavyweight
You don't wanna fight this
Wait I'm up, said good luck
To anyone on my list
I'm not bout violence
But it could get violent
You know I'm bout put this bitch in a graveyard
I don't speak nice I just hate her
Why can't she just check her shit at the door
I ain't you're bell hop
But she's the devils favorite whore
I break my back just to cater to you
My legs go numb when I think of you
No lie
I'm not falling for you
You waste my time
Over not loving you
You try so hard to swallow you pride
But if I don't say yes you'll commit suicide
So I guess I wont lie
Cause I'm not falling for you
Running after commas
Stunt, while she throw a fit
Cuz everybody actin crazy
I don't need all this shit
Cuz I've been wasted
And I hate this
They tell me how to live
And I've been waking up
Faceless, I spent all my chips
Three a m wide awake
I can't feel my eyelids
Big belt heavyweight
You don't wanna fight this
Wait I'm up, said good luck
To anyone on my list
I'm not bout violence
But it could get violent
No lie
You waste my time
Over not loving you
The lyrics of "No Lie" by Hairu Tokyo touch upon themes of unhealthy obsession, manipulation, and the struggle to maintain one's individuality in the face of societal pressure. The singer reveals their exhaustion and frustration in constantly bending over backward to please someone else, only for it to result in their own physical and emotional pain. The line "My legs go numb when I think of you" suggests that the singer's infatuation with this person has a paralyzing effect on them, highlighting the extent to which they have sacrificed their own well-being.
The chorus reinforces the singer's determination to break free from this toxic relationship, stating "No lie, I'm not falling for you." They refuse to be controlled or manipulated any longer, recognizing that their time has been wasted by someone who doesn't truly love them. The mention of the other person's desperation to swallow their pride and even resort to suicide if the singer doesn't comply depicts the lengths to which they are willing to go to maintain control.

References to running after money ("Running after commas") and feeling overwhelmed by the chaos and expectations of society ("Cuz everybody actin crazy, I don't need all this shit") highlight the external pressures that add to their discontent. The repetition of "Three a.m. wide awake, I can't feel my eyelids" conveys the exhaustion and sleeplessness resulting from the emotional toll of the situation.
Overall, "No Lie" explores the themes of sacrifice, toxic relationships, and the importance of asserting one's own autonomy in the face of manipulation.

Over not loving you
Because I don't have feelings of love for you
