Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All of the things, you promised to be, turned out to be, vague and empty, you lied to me
Chorus:
And i am sick of all your lies, i'm sick of you tonight, you're not concious of our plight, your deceit blinds your eyes
Open your eyes
And i remember a time, where i could go and stand up in that line, hold my head up high, but that time has passed, and it has gone, we all know its never coming back, train has jumped the tracks
And you said that, i'm not listening, when you say that, we can be friends, because its not working out
These lyrics present a narrative of betrayal, disappointment, and disillusionment. The singer addresses someone who has been untruthful with him/her, breaking promises and not acknowledging the negative impact of their actions. The song opens with the singer sifting through the lies to find some truth in what was said and done. However, the more the singer examines the situation, the more they become disillusioned with the other person. The chorus suggests that the singer has reached their limit with all the lies and is sick of dealing with the deceit. The singer then calls for the other person to open their eyes and see the truth of the situation.
In the second verse, the singer remembers a time when they felt confident and hopeful about something, represented by being able to stand up in that line and hold their head up high. However, that feeling has passed and has been replaced by a sense of loss and hopelessnessโsymbolized by the train jumping off the tracks. The other person attempted to placate the singer by suggesting they could still be friends, but the singer is no longer willing to accept that.
This song speaks to the universal experience of feeling let down and misled by someone we had trusted. It acknowledges the hurt and disillusionment that comes with that sort of experience and suggests that sometimes the best course of action is to remove oneself from that dynamic entirely.

Itโs an incredible intense movie. I remember my days dealing with my mom who had end staged dementia. It made me helpless to see how helpless my mom became. Just like this old, petrified woman in the movie.

My kind of movie. Depth. Mystery and a relatable main character. It intrigued me to watch John struggle with his morality as he made decisions throughout the movie. Loved it!
