Everybody Lies
Jason Walker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We say what we need to get out when it's not enough.
Whether it's to yourself, or lookin' at someone else.
Everybody lies, lies, lies.
It's the only truth sometimes.
Doesn't matter if it's out there somewhere waiting for the world to find.
Or buried deep inside. Everybody lies.
Just being honest, we're playing for both sides.
It's easy to decieve but it's hard when the trust that's broken is mine.
For better, or for worse, for the happy, for the hurt.
Everybody lies, lies, lies.
It's the only truth sometimes.
Doesn't matter if it's out there somewhere waiting for the world to find.
Or buried deep inside. Yeah, everybody lies.
Everybody lives, and everybody dies.
Yeah.
Oh it doesn't matter if it's out there somewhere
Waiting for the world to find.
Or buried deep inside. Or buried deep inside.
Everybody lies.
The song "Everybody Lies" by Jason Walker is a poignant and introspective commentary on the nature of deceit and dishonesty in relationships. The lyrics explore how people often hide their true feelings and intentions in order to protect themselves or maintain control over a situation. The first verse speaks directly to the complexity of love, suggesting that people will go to great lengths to secure a relationship, even if that means acting in ways that belie their true nature. The second verse acknowledges the reality that people are often dishonest in order to protect themselves or gain advantage, but that this kind of deception can ultimately lead to the breakdown of trust and a deep sense of hurt.
The chorus of the song, with its repeated refrain that "Everybody lies," takes on a distinctly fatalistic tone, suggesting that dishonesty is an inevitable part of human nature. The lines "It's the only truth sometimes / Doesn't matter if it's out there somewhere waiting for the world to find / Or buried deep inside" underscore the idea that even when the truth is readily available, people may still choose to ignore it or conceal it in order to avoid confrontation or maintain a sense of power.
Overall, "Everybody Lies" is a raw and emotional song that speaks to the deeply human experiences of love, trust, betrayal, and vulnerability.
