somebody to love
Kyrill & Redford Lyrics

When the truth is found, To be lies...
When a person discovers that what they believed to be true is actually a falsehood...

And all the joy! To be Lies.
...and as a result, all the happiness and pleasure that they once felt is revealed to be a sham or deceitful.

And all the joy! Within you dies, Don't you?
The feeling of emptiness and sorrow that arises from such a discovery can be overwhelming and all-consuming. The artist asks the listener if they have ever experienced this.

And all the joy! Within you dies, Don't you? And all the joy! Within you dies...
The repetition of this line emphasizes just how profound and devastating this feeling of internal loss and emptiness really is.

Tears are running down and down and down your breast. And your friends, baby they treat you like a guest.
The artist paints a picture of emotional agony here, using the image of tears running down one's chest to evoke intense sadness and vulnerability. The sense of isolation and betrayal is heightened by the indifference of supposedly close friends.

Don't you want somebody to love?
Amidst all this pain and sorrow, the artist offers a solution – to find someone to love and be loved by. This question is intended to motivate the listener to seek out a connection in order to find some measure of joy and fulfillment in life.

Don't you need somebody to love?
This is a follow-up to the last line, posing the question of whether finding love is not only desirable but necessary for a meaningful and happy life.

Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
This line is a rhetorical question, posing the idea of being open to love and asking the listener to consider whether they would like to experience it.

You better find somebody to love.
The phrasing of this line is somewhat forceful, suggesting that it's not merely a suggestion but an urgent piece of advice - that finding someone to love may be the only way to escape the pain and emptiness of discovering that one's beliefs and values have been built on lies.

When the truth is found... To be lies!
The final repetition of this line serves to bookend the song and reinforce its central message - that discovering the truth can be painful and emptying, but that finding love and connection may be the only way to regain meaning and joy in life.
