Lie
Jazzanova Feat Thief Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't really have to waste
Precious time,
I don't have to accept what you're imposing
A sens of humility,
But did you find
I don't have to embrace what you're announcing
I don't want to tell you twice,
I don't wanna know,
I don't wanna follow don't wanna know
I have to admit that seems really fascinating
You seem to walk around without
Any doubt,
But to me it seems slightly irritating
As you really seem to be
True about,
All the things but i know i've got my own way
Some direction made from me,
To them
You don't have to know
You don't have to follow don't have to know
So everything you say is true
Maybe you should shut up and start to
Cry...
So everything you say is true
But don't wait begin to me just a
Lie...
Surprise, surprise, don't forget this
Got the brain working in
Its own way,
This is my life I have to live it
And you may ask if I either don't
Have to say,
What to think to justify my position
And if you want to keep yours
Because,
I don't have to know,
I don't have to follow don't have to know
I don't have to believe what you believe in
You don't really have to waste
Precious time,
I don't have to accept what you're imposing
A sens of humility,
But did you find
I don't have to embrace what you're announcing
I don't want to tell you twice,
You know
I don't wanna know,
I don't wanna follow don't wanna know
So everything you say is true
Maybe you should shut up and start to
Cry...
So everything you say is true
But don't wait begin to me just a
Lie...
The song "Lie" by Jazzanova feat Thief is a reflection on the pressure to conform to societal standards and beliefs. The lyrics suggest that individuals do not have to believe, accept or embrace what others may be imposing on them. The verses repeat the same message, "I don't have to know, I don't have to follow, don't wanna know." Through this repetition, the song portrays a strong sense of individuality and personal values. The song talks about how everyone has their own way of living and their own beliefs.
In the chorus, the song suggests that despite this idea of personal values, everyone's beliefs are valid in their own sense. However, the bridge of the song seems to be addressing the pressure society places on people to conform. The lines, "So everything you say is true, maybe you should shut up and start to cry," suggest the anger and frustration that comes with feeling trapped in societal expectations. The bridge also uses the line, "But don't wait begin to me just a lie," implying that people may conform to societal standards even when they don't believe in them, just to fit in.
Overall, "Lie" by Jazzanova feat Thief is a thought-provoking song about personal values and conforming to society's expectations. The song highlights the pressure to conform that many individuals face and reminds us of the importance of staying true to ourselves.
