Lie to Me
In Dreams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to reach under your shoes and make you fall too
Why don't you look a little longer?
If you want to
I wonder why you don't know I'm willing to do
Most anything to have you

I want to bleed and be your only victim who
Lies in your bed and is your only ride-or-die who
Tries to fight your battles even when I caused them
You don't love her
Oh how could you

Lie to me
Try to be
My only rescue

Lie to me
Try to be
My only rescue

Lie to me
Try to be
My only rescue

Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me

I know
You're ready and I'm willing
How, how are you gonna throw in?
I tried to make it easy on you
If I don't slow it down
Oh, if you don't know by now
I know you're headed for a killing

I want to make you go so crazy
Why, why would I lie to you?
I fight too hard to lose my mind
Don't wreck my balance, I'm so close to the edge
You, you're are the only one I sing to

I know
You're ready and I'm willing
How are you gonna throw in?
I tried to make it easy on you
If I don't slow it down
If you don't know by now
I know you're heading for a killing





Oh, oh yeah~

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to In Dreams' song Lie to Me speak about a person's intense desire for someone who doesn't reciprocate their feelings in the same way. The singer wants this person to fall for them and be willing to do anything to make them happy. They even want to be their only victim and fight their battles, despite being the cause of them, just to be close to them. The singer is aware that this person doesn't truly love the other person, which makes it hurt even more. Despite all this, they want them to lie to them and be their only salvation.


The lyrics show the sadness and desperation that the singer feels. They are almost begging for this person to love them, even if it's just a lie. The lines, "Don't wreck my balance, I'm so close to the edge / You, you're are the only one I sing to" portray the singer's vulnerability and the dependence they have on this person. The lyrics also highlight the frustration of trying so hard to be noticed and loved by someone who doesn't feel the same way.

I don’t usually notice lyrics but holy shit. This is just…

Won't you sit down, you know I love you honey
And you look so tired
I know it's hard how we're thrown into this life
Then one day we must die
But that river will flow on
Even after we're all long gone
That river will flow on
Take me with you now before I'm one

That’s fucking poetry

Lyrics.....

I hope I'm in your dreams
The way you are in all of my mine
You've got a love so fine
I wish that I could make you mine
Won't you sit down, you know I love you honey
And you look so tired
I know it's hard how we're thrown into this life
Then one day we must die
But that river will flow on
Even after we're all long gone
That river will flow on
Take me with you now before I'm one
I walk into the room and there you sit
There you sit, you so alone and quiet
I can't help but stare how I love you, and it just ain't fair
But that river will flow on
Even after we're all long gone
That river will flow on
Take me with you now before I'm one
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I hope I'm in your dreams
The way you are in all of my mine
You've got a love so fine
I wish that I could make you mine
Won't you sit down, you know I love you honey
And you look so tired
I know it's hard how we're thrown into this life
And then one day we must die

[Chorus]
But that river will flow on
Even after we're all long gone
Yes, that river will flow on
Won't you take me with you before I'm one

[Verse 2]
Then I walk into the room and there you sit
There you sit and you're so alone and quiet
Well I can't help but stare
Oh I love you, and it just ain't fair

[Chorus]
But that river will flow on
Even after we're all long gone
Yes, that river will flow on
Won't you take me with you before I'm one

GemsOnVHS wow thanks!

@stephaniemckinnie

YES!!!

@chadfallentine5540

I hope this song is released soon on bandcamp, I’ve been listening to this video on repeat for days!

@sethbrown9702

GemsOnVHS Dear lord, why isn't this on Spotify yet? In fact it doesn't seem to be available anywhere. The link you posted does not go to this song. Why?

@GemsOnVHS

Spotify doesn't pay artists enough to live on. She is working class - not rich, so the songs on bandcamp are what she has been able to record thus far. Thank you for listening!

She sounds like an old vinyl record crackling in the living room of a farm house built in 1933.

@moonstonesky6119

And that’s a beautiful thing❤

@gincon6

omg, yes, you captured the essence of her music so well in your description!

@saraliza3137

Glorious description! I thought something similar, but one of those portable Victrolas playing it at an outdoor barn dance....Either way, marvelous!
