2005–2008: Beginnings
Hurts performing in January 2010
Anderson (born 14 May 1985 in Manchester) and Hutchcraft (born 30 August 1986 in Richmond, North Yorkshire) met outside Manchester's 42nd Street nightclub in November 2005, standing by while their friends got involved in a fight. Too drunk to join in, they began discussing music instead; realising they had similar tastes, they decided to start a band. Over the next few months, they exchanged music and lyrics via e-mail, before forming Bureau in March 2006. They performed their first gig as a quintet in May at The Music Box in Manchester, and were shortly afterwards signed to independent record label High Voltage Sounds. They released their first double A-side single "After Midnight"/"Dollhouse" in November, which was made Single of the Week on Xfm. In 2007, Bureau disbanded and Hutchcraft and Anderson formed the band Daggers soon after. They signed to Label Fandango and in October released another double A-side single, "Money"/"Magazine", which, despite failing to chart, was nominated for the Popjustice £20 Music Prize.
Throughout 2008, Daggers continued to build a following and began working with producers Biff Stannard and Richard X, but after a disastrous A&R showcase in London in September, Theo and Adam returned to Manchester to reflect on the band's future. They recorded a mournful ballad called "Unspoken" together and they immediately realised that this was the sound that they wanted to develop as a duo. After informing the rest of the band that it was finished, they went on a short break to Verona in Italy, where they claim they discovered a musical genre called "Disco Lento". Daggers split on 30 January 2009.
2009–2012: Happiness
Now called Hurts, the duo recorded an amateur music video for a song called "Wonderful Life", with a female dancer who had responded to an advert they placed in a post office in Manchester. After they uploaded the video to their YouTube channel on 21 April 2009, it quickly went viral and has since had over 38 million views. In July, the band was signed to Sony subsidiary RCA Records as well as RCA imprint Major Label Records, run by their old friend Biff Stannard.
Although Hutchcraft and Anderson had decided to not do any gigs until they had enough songs, they began uploading demos to their Myspace page, and on 27 July 2009, they were named Band of the Day by The Guardian. On 7 December, they made the longlist of the Sound of 2010, an annual poll of music critics and industry figures conducted by the BBC. Following spot plays on BBC Radio 1 of "Wonderful Life", Hurts were invited to record at London's Maida Vale Studios on 9 December for Huw Stephens' radio show, where they performed "Illuminated" and "Silver Lining".

The single became a radio hit in countries such as Denmark, Cyprus and Russia throughout the spring. On 10 March, their first UK single "Better Than Love" was premiered on Huw Stephens' show on BBC Radio 1. After a nationwide tour with the NME Radar tour, the song was released on digital download, CD and vinyl formats on 24 May, and debuted at number 50 on the UK Singles Chart.
Following success on Greek radio, Hurts were invited to perform at the MAD Video Music Awards ceremony in Athens in front of 11,000 people on 15 June. Also in June, Kylie Minogue recorded a verse and backing vocals for the song "Devotion", which was to be included on the band's album. Hurts recorded a performance of Kylie's 1994 hit "Confide in Me" for newspaper The Sun's website, and has since been a regular inclusion on their gig setlists. Kylie later returned the compliment by recording a performance of "Wonderful Life" in Radio 1's Live Lounge.

On 26 June, Theo and Adam performed on the John Peel stage at the Glastonbury Festival, and their full set was broadcast on a loop on the BBC Red Button channel. Readers of music magazine NME voted their performance as the best of the festival, putting them ahead of headliners U2, Coldplay, and Beyoncé. They were later voted "Band of the Summer" by the same magazine. In June 2011 they announced a remix of the track "Lonely Lisa" by French singer Mylène Farmer.
"Blood, Tears & Gold" was released as the third single in Germany on 7 October, peaking at number 39. A deluxe CD/DVD edition of Happiness was released on 31 October.

In the song "Liar" by Hurts, the lyrics convey a sense of confrontation and defiance towards someone who has deceived the singer. The first verse sets the tone by urging the person to step into the light and reveal themselves, suggesting that they have been hiding and avoiding taking responsibility for their actions. The singer challenges the person, questioning whether they feel any shame for what they have done and who they are.
The chorus strongly emphasizes the singer's knowledge of the liar's secret, indicating that they have uncovered the truth. The repetition of the word "liar" adds intensity and serves as a direct accusation. The next lines suggest that the liar has always been understood, implying that their deceitful nature has never fooled the singer. They express a sense of indifference towards the liar's excuses and lies, asserting that they are unnecessary and unwelcome.
The second verse intensifies the confrontation, with the singer urging the liar to give up the fight and stop trying to hide. They question the liar's efforts, asking if their deceptions and evasions are the best they can do. It seems the singer is unafraid of the consequences or revelations that may come from exposing the liar. They emphasize their determination not to succumb to emotional manipulation and refuse to shed any tears for the liar's reasons.
The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the singer's knowledge of the liar's secret and their lack of patience for the liar's excuses and tears. The overall tone of the song is one of empowerment, as the singer asserts their awareness and refusal to be manipulated any longer. Through these lyrics, the song explores themes of deception, confrontation, and the desire for honesty and authenticity in relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
Step into the light
Expose yourself to the truth and face reality
And show me your eyes
Reveal your true intentions and emotions
Come out of the darkness
Stop hiding and deceiving others
There's nowhere to hide
There is no escape from the consequences of your actions
Aren't you ashamed of what you did?
Don't you feel guilty or remorseful for your actions?
Aren't you ashamed of who you are?
Don't you feel ashamed of your true self?
I'm not afraid of what you'll say
I am not intimidated by your words
I won't cry
I refuse to show any vulnerability or be manipulated emotionally
Liar, I know your secret
Deceiver, I am aware of your hidden truth
Liar, you've never been misunderstood
Deceiver, your intentions have always been clear and obvious
And all your excuses
All the reasons you provide to justify your actions
All of your lies, I don't need them
I don't require or believe in your false explanations
So spare me the tears
Do not attempt to elicit sympathy from me
'Cause I don't have time for your reasons
Because I have no patience for your justifications
And give up the fight
Stop struggling or resisting the truth
Who do you think you are fooling here?
Who do you believe you are deceiving in this situation?
Stop trying to hide
Cease your attempts to conceal your true self
Is this the best that you can do?
Are these actions or excuses the highest level of your capability?
Is this the hardest you can try?
Is this the most effort you are willing to put forth?
I won't cry, I won't cry
I will not allow myself to be emotionally manipulated or affected

Мне кажется эта песня отлично подошла бы как саундтрек к какому-нибудь фильму или сериалу про 80-е❤🌸

Step into the light
And show me your eyes
Come out of the darkness
There's nowhere to hide
Aren't you ashamed of what you did?
Aren't you ashamed of who you are?
I'm not afraid of what you'll say
I won't cry
Liar, I know your secret
Liar, you've never been misunderstood
And all your excuses
All of your lies, I don't need them
So spare me the tears
'Cause I don't have time for your reasons
Step into the light
And give up the fight
Who do you think you are fooling here?
Stop trying to hide
Is this the best that you can do?
Is this the hardest you can try?
I'm not afraid of what's to come
I won't cry, I won't cry
'Cause, liar, I know your secret
Liar, you've never been misunderstood
And all your excuses
All of your lies, I don't need them
So spare me the tears
'Cause I don't have time for your reasons
Liar, I know your secret
Liar, you've never been misunderstood
And all your excuses
All of your lies, I don't need them
So spare me the tears
I don't have time for your reasons

This song little reminds me "In the Air tonight" by Phil Collins.
You are so unserrated.
This song is a masterpiece.
