Plaything
Liamere Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you to see me
Won't you let me burn inside?
See, what you give is what you get
I still linger on those words you said
You would let me lose my mind
and disguise
What you give is what you get
Aren't you afraid you might regret?
You spin me around
Just like I was you plaything
You keep on pulling those strings of
Lust and desire
You keep me high while I'm waiting
I'm tired on anticipating
Loving me, loving it
Let me be the one
All those sins float within,
Wont you come undone
You spin me around
Just to make sure you own me
And trap me inside your web of lies
I would let me stay aside
But the cut was so clean
The wound was so deep
It was a deadly stride
What you give is what you get
Should have never made that bet
You spin me around
Just like I was you plaything
You keep on pulling those strings of
Lust and desire
You keep me high while I'm waiting
I'm tired on anticipating
Loving me, loving it
Let me be the one
All those sins float within,
Wont you come undone
You spin me around
Just to make sure you own me
And trap me inside your web of lies
I mean, its not like we ever known…
…its not like I really had a choice, didn't I?
What you give is what you get
All those debts I never will forget
You spin me around
Just like I was you plaything
You keep on pulling those strings of
Lust and desire
You keep me high while I'm waiting
I'm tired on anticipating
Loving me, loving it
Let me be the one
All those sins float within,
Wont you come undone
You spin me around
Just to make sure you own me
And trap me inside your web of lies
The lyrics of Liamere's "Plaything" delve into the complexities of a tumultuous and toxic relationship. The singer is entangled in an unhealthy dynamic with their partner who they feel is manipulating them into being a plaything. The opening lines, "I start a fire in your eyes, I want you to see me, Won't you let me burn inside?" imply a sense of longing for attention and validation from the partner.
The singer then goes on to reflect on the partner's behavior, lamenting how they keep pulling the strings of lust and desire, and keeping them high while waiting. The repeated emphasis on the phrase, "what you give is what you get" indicates that there is a sense of reciprocation at play here, suggesting that the singer might be internalizing the negative patterns in the relationship. The desperation in their voice is palpable as they wonder if they will ever find a way out of this vicious cycle.
The lyrics of "Plaything" highlight a relatable theme of the human condition, which is the need for love and validation. However, by depicting a relationship that is more about control and manipulation than love, the song presents a poignant reflection on how our unaddressed emotional needs can lead us into toxic situations.

I love the simplistic vibe, sometimes less is more. The use of empty space goes a long way.
