The Liar
Mar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like how you pretend to be so free
And though your fake features still excite me
(They do)
Would you still play this cards if it wasn't me?
Who you tryna be?
Who you tryna fool?
Lie all that you want
Who am I lying to?
I already did
I close my eyes
And I see you here
Why do we both pretend
Not to feel a thing?
When truth is
We just wanna be near
We're two liars
I feel like every time we get together
We're always playing games
Tryna win something
No I don't wanna act like we're forever
But please just cut the crap
I'm not buying it
Who you tryna be?
Who you tryna fool?
Lie all that you want
I won't fall for you
Who you tryna be?
What you tryna prove?
Lie all that you want
I won't fall for you
Who am I lying to?
I already did
I close my eyes
And I see you here
Why do we both pretend
Not to feel a thing?
When truth is
We just wanna be near
We're two liars
We're two liars
We're two liars
Two liars
Two liars
Two liars
We're two liars
In "The Liar" by Mar, the lyrics present a complex dynamic between two individuals who are engaging in a game of deception. The song explores the appeal and excitement of pretending and acting, as well as the underlying desire for emotional connection and proximity.
The singer acknowledges their attraction to the other person's facade and acknowledges the artificiality of it all. Despite this, they wonder if the other person would continue playing these games if it weren't for their involvement. This raises questions about identity and authenticity, as the singer wonders who the other person is trying to be and who they are trying to fool.
The chorus delves deeper into the dishonesty that characterizes their relationship. Both individuals pretend not to feel anything, but in truth, they just want to be close to each other. The repetition of the phrase "We're two liars" emphasizes the shared nature of their deception and suggests that both parties are equally responsible for the game they are playing.
Overall, "The Liar" explores the allure of pretending and the complexities of hidden emotions. It questions the intentions behind these acts of deception and highlights the longing for genuine connection beneath the surface.
