I Wanna Lie
Holochaust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My hopes fulfilled by their fears
Speed in a road of deception
I live by the vision to see your tears
I wanna lie
I wanna lie
I wanna lie
Justice is done, I'm the witness
One freedom turned into jail
Your world is all I don't care
With smile on my face I prevail
I wanna lie
No man in this world is immortal
Our lies will live when we die
Sin is my fate, my religion
From gates of hell you will hear me cry:
I will not die
Don't wonder why
I wanna lie
The lyrics to Holochaust's song "I Wanna Lie" tell the story of someone who is living in a difficult situation. This person is surrounded by people who are afraid of their hopes and dreams, and they feel like they are trapped in a world of deception. Despite this, the person finds comfort in the fact that they can see the tears of those around them. The chorus of the song, "I wanna lie," seems to suggest that the person wants to escape this world of deception and embrace a different reality.
The second verse of the song takes a darker turn, as the person becomes the witness to an act of injustice. They see someone's freedom taken away, and it seems like this event is the final straw that causes the person to completely give up on the world around them. They no longer care about the world or its problems, and they find pleasure in their own success. The final verse of the song speaks to the idea of legacy, suggesting that the lies we tell will outlive us and that the person speaking will never truly die.
Overall, "I Wanna Lie" is a song about a person who is struggling to find their place in the world. They are surrounded by deception and injustice, and they ultimately find solace in their own lies and the tears of others. While the song may be dark, it also speaks to the universal human experience of trying to find meaning in a chaotic and difficult world.
