LIE JOHNNY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I almost forgot the first time i saw my face
And realized that I have to die
I prayed for they didn't come
And take me away
That night
Please don't take me away
That night
I saw myself crying
Everything was like in a dream
I remember i saw the light
Am i dying?
Do i know what will be?
After death will be nothing or i'll start a brand new life?
Again again and again
An infinite existence in infinite cycle of life
You said
Like it wasn't you
May be someday we’ll meet in the one of your endless lifes
Run from yourself
Run from the others
It doesn’t matter
When it happens
Should i believe or should I go?
Or I see my body from above?
Please don't go, don't leave me alone
I remember that feelings
I remember you call my name
Feel death with every breath
Leave the memories with me
Through that noise I can hear your voice
It's too sad
That once i was mad
Please forgive me for that
I was young and so fool and bad
I said
Like it wasn't me
May be someday we'll meet me in the one of our endless lifes
Run from yourself
Run from the others
It doesn’t matter
When it happens
Should i believe or should I go?
Or I see my body from above?
The lyrics of "Revival" by LIE JOHNNY explore the themes of self-reflection, the fear of death, and the possibility of life after death. The song begins with the singer almost forgetting their own identity, but then coming to a realization that they will eventually have to face their mortality. They express a desperate prayer, hoping that they won't be taken away. The phrase "Please don't take me away" is repeated, emphasizing their fear and resistance to the idea of dying.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on a moment when they saw themselves crying, as if in a dream. They question the meaning of life and what lies beyond death. They wonder if there will be nothing or if they will start a new life.
The singer also reflects on past actions and regrets, acknowledging that they were once young, foolhardy, and perhaps even harmful to others. They apologize for their past behavior and express the hope of meeting with someone again in their "endless lifes."

Night and day
Regardless of the time, day or night
I almost forgot the first time i saw my face
I nearly lost touch with my true self
And realized that I have to die
I came to the realization that death awaits me
I prayed for they didn't come
I hoped that death wouldn't come for me
And take me away
And snatch me from this world
That night
On that particular night
Please don't take me away
I pleaded not to be taken away
I saw myself crying
I witnessed my own tears
Everything was like in a dream
Everything seemed surreal, like a dream
I remember i saw the light
I recall seeing a bright light
Am i dying?
Am I on the verge of death?
Do i know what will be?
Do I comprehend what lies ahead?
After death will be nothing or i'll start a brand new life?
Will there be nothing after death or will I begin anew?
Again again and again
Repeating endlessly
An infinite existence in infinite cycle of life
An everlasting existence in an endless circle of lives
You said
You uttered
Like it wasn't you
As if it were not your words
May be someday we’ll meet in the one of your endless lifes
Perhaps one day we will cross paths in one of your many lives
Run from yourself
Escape from your own self
Run from the others
Flee from everyone else
It doesn’t matter
It holds no significance
When it happens
At the moment it occurs
Should i believe or should I go?
Should I have faith or depart?
Or I see my body from above?
Or do I observe my lifeless body from an elevated perspective?
Please don't go, don't leave me alone
I implore you to stay, to not abandon me
I remember that feelings
I recall those emotions
I remember you call my name
I remember you calling out to me
Feel death with every breath
Sense mortality in each breath
Leave the memories with me
Let the memories stay with me
Through that noise I can hear your voice
Amidst the chaos, I can still hear your voice
It's too sad
It is extremely sorrowful
That once i was mad
That in the past I was mentally unstable
Please forgive me for that
I ask for forgiveness for my past actions
I was young and so fool and bad
I was young, naive, and behaved poorly
I said
I spoke
Like it wasn't me
As if it wasn't my own words
May be someday we'll meet me in the one of our endless lifes
Perhaps someday we will encounter each other in one of our countless lives
