We Are Liars
In Dynamics Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm so unable
Have I been way too hard on myself
There's no silver lining
Just a case of such bad timing
I want to see you
I don't want to see what I don't have to

And I promised you I'd never let it get me down, but it gets me down, and I can't even help that

Cos with our words we were honest in appliance
When we speak of what was promised we are liars
And with our words we were honest in appliance
When we speak of what was promised we are liars

I'm so unable
Have I been way too hard on myself
I'm holding a way back
Down where I'm not able to stand

I'm so unable
Have I been way too hard on myself
I'm holding a way back
Down where I'm not able to stand

What does the future hold

Overall Meaning

for me
Am I just a collection of wandering dreams
And if I'm incapable of fixing myself
How can I be expected to help somebody else

In the “We Are Liars” lyrics, In Dynamics is exploring themes of self-doubt and questioning one’s own abilities. The opening lines reveal a sense of helplessness, with the singer feeling unable to accomplish what they need to. They question whether they’ve been too hard on themselves, indicating that this lack of confidence might be self-inflicted. There’s a sense of frustration as they describe experiencing bad timing without any silver lining in sight.

The next stanza delves into the idea of being honest with others, specifically making promises that can’t be kept. By referencing “honest in appliance,” they suggest that they’ve been truthful up until this point, but when it comes to promises, they've failed to deliver. The repetition of the line “When we speak of what was promised, we are liars” is an indictment of the notion that words and intentions matter more than actions. There’s a sense of regret about not being able to live up to these promises, which emphasizes how self-doubt can influence one’s relationships with others.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm so unable
I feel incapable and weak

Have I been way too hard on myself
Maybe I've been overly critical of myself

There's no silver lining
There is no positive outcome or redeeming quality in this situation

Just a case of such bad timing
It's just a matter of unfortunate timing

I want to see you
I desire to be in your presence

I don't want to see what I don't have to
I prefer not to face unpleasant or unwanted circumstances

And I promised you I'd never let it get me down, but it gets me down, and I can't even help that
I assured you that I would not be affected by this situation, but it still upsets me against my will

Cos with our words we were honest in appliance
We were truthful and earnest when speaking together

When we speak of what was promised we are liars
When we mention the past commitments, we are being untruthful because we have not fulfilled them

And with our words we were honest in appliance
We spoke truthfully with each other, in agreement

When we speak of what was promised we are liars
Even though we were truthful in the past, when we bring up promises made, we become dishonest because we haven't kept them.

I'm holding a way back
I'm restraining or limiting myself

Down where I'm not able to stand
In a place where I am unable to maintain my footing, keep my balance, or feel certain

What does the future hold
What lies ahead in time?
