Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm trying my best to make you understand what I try to express
but you won't understand
Maybe I'm just to hard to translate
I feel so alone and out of my place
A conversation where we don't speak the same language
I'm Starting to think that you don't even try to understand
What i am talking about
I may be just too hard to translate
But that's easy to say when you're not a mad sin
You see, Peoples like me don't have any control...
That's what it's called sickness
And you're blaming me of beeing sick
You're blaming me of beeing sick!!
How dare you?
I wish you could just suffer to know how it feels
How dare you?
I wish you could just suffer to know!
I wish you could undergo how i am suffering
I feel of tired of everything
I feel of tired of everything
I feel tired
I feel tired
And it is how it goes...
And it is how it goes...
I feel of tired of everything
I feel tired
I feel tired
The song "Walls" by L.I.A.R. is written about the thrill of taking risks and living life to the fullest. The lyrics describe the singer's desire to ride on the "Wall of Death" one more time, which is portrayed as the ultimate thrill ride that brings one closer to feeling alive. The singer compares other funfair rides like the "crooked house" or "Noah's Ark," warning that they may not provide the same excitement as the Wall of Death. This song is a tribute to those who have a thirst for adventure.
Throughout the song, the singer warns that other fairground rides are safe and predictable, offering no real sense of risk or danger. The singer makes an explicit contrast between the Wall of Death and the other rides, arguing that this ride offers a sense of freedom and liberation that is unparalleled by others. The repetition of the phrase "let me take my chances" emphasizes the importance of taking risks and living life to the fullest, no matter the consequences.
Overall, the song can be interpreted as an invitation to live life with passion and to take risks, even if it brings one closer to death. The Wall of Death symbolizes the ultimate adventure and an experience that awakens one's senses. This song invites people to step out of their comfort zones and experience life fully.

The Wall of Death gives a sense of vitality and liveliness like no other ride can
Let me take my chances on the Wall of Death
I am willing to take the risk on this exhilarating ride
You can go with the crazy people in the crooked house
If you prefer, you can join the eccentric individuals in the distorted building
You can fly away on the rocket or spin in the mouse
You may opt to ride the rocket ship or the spinning mouse, but they do not come close in terms of excitement to the Wall of Death

And maybe you're strong, but what's the use of ringing a bell
Riding the strength testing machine may show how strong you are, but ringing the bell doesn't come close to the exhilaration of the Wall of Death
The switchback will make you crazy
The Switchback ride has its own level of intensity, but it's not comparable to the Wall of Death
Beware of the bearded lady
The Bearded Lady may seem intimidating, but she is really a harmless part of the freak show carnival atmosphere
Oh let me take my chances on the Wall of Death
Once again, I assert my desire to take my chances on the Wall of Death
Let me take my chances
I reiterate my willingness to risk it all for the thrill and excitement that the Wall of Death brings

Would you pray if said you were dying
Would you be a little stronger
Or fall down on your knees
Would you stay with me
If you knew that I was lying
Would you walk away
Or turn the other cheek
I tremble where I stand
My wish is your command
The nature of a truly desperate heart
Give me something real
That I can truly feel
Liar liar on the wall
Whisper whisper in the dark
Tell me what you see
Poisoned by your fly infested poetry
Liar liar on the wall
Give the world to me
A wasteland or a monarchy
Liar liar
Tell me what you see...
Now I'm here and my pain is my companion
Now I know it wasn't meant to heal... the cut
Is way too deep
No more wasted years of sacrificial bleeding
I'm the master of the war inside me
But still... I tremble where I stand
My wish is your command
The yearning of an undiscovered soul
Give me something real
So that I can truly feel
Liar liar on the wall
Whisper whisper in the dark
Tell me what you see
Poisoned by your fly infested poetry
Liar liar on the wall
Give the world to me
A wasteland or a Monarchy
Liar liar...
Tell me what you see...
I shine when the sun is down
And carry this heavy crown
I won't compromise
Release me
What we're looking for
Liar liar on the wall
Mirror mirror in the dark
Tell us what we are looking for
Make us see the truth
Liar liar on the wall
Whisper whisper in the dark
Tell me what you see
Poisoned by your fly infested poetry
Liar liar on the wall
Give the world to me
A wasteland or a monarchy
Liar liar...
Tell me what you see...

Alissa's clean vocals is really what Arch Enemy needs. Considering that there music is very melodic clean vocals won't be out of place.
@heresjohnny999
if MTV still played videos and actual music, this song would be a worldwide hit.
@heatherofhyrule9050
Honestly when Alissa started doing clean vocals it scared me because I thought she was just gonna do the growls and it was unexpected to me
@MrVoldi7
+Heather Of Hyrule when she was in The Agonist she used to shift from growls to clean vocals all the time she is amazing at singing both
@heatherofhyrule9050
MrVoldi7 I know that now, she's amazing <3
When I commented this like a month ago I had only ever listened to Alissa in Arch Enemy and one The Agonist song (...And Their Eulogies Sang Me To Sleep) but now I love The Agonist almost as much as I love Arch Enemy
@AlesNejdr
+Heather Of Hyrule She was switched growls and clean vocals in The Agonist. I loved her in this band.
@bugslayerprime7674
+Heather Of Hyrule funny, to me when she did the distorted vocals, with the motions, it made me think of Rita Repulsa...
@maebae5350
+Heather Of Hyrule You look kinda like her
@JDarkona
Stopping by 7 years later to say this is still one of my favorite songs. Such a great combo.
@AirGreekDespotas
Alisa's clean vocals are heavenly
