Make Believe
JaeL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know how much I can take
Of you invading my space
No longer can't I pray
Just to get by one more day
Chorus
Raining fire, consume the liar
No more of your lies
C'mon stand and pray
That you won't fall
In the end day
Verse 2
It's in my mind you live and breathe
My paranoia supersedes
I won't buy into your lies, your deceit
With my last breath I'll pray for you
In JaeL's song "Make Believe," the lyrics describe a situation in which the singer feels suffocated and invaded by someone else's lies and deceit. The singer cannot pray anymore just to survive and withstand the other person's lies. The chorus is a declaration of the singer's desire for the truth and for the other person to stop lying, with a hope that they can stand strong and not succumb to the lies. The second verse raises the stakes of the situation, with the singer's paranoia taking over and feeling like the other person is constantly in their head. The singer refuses to fall for any more lies or deceit and intends to pray for the other person until their last breath.
These lyrics convey the intense emotions and thoughts that can arise in a situation where someone is being manipulated or lied to. The feeling of being trapped and suffocated is palpable, and the singer's determination to resist the lies and pray instead is a powerful message of resilience and hope.
