Lie To Me
Martin Zellar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Strange feeling hanging over me
Took me a minute
To recognize possibility
From somewhere way back
Came long gone memories of wide-eyed days
I was a good boy
Walk to the kitchen
Drink some coffee and my heart kicks in
I need a plan here,
I've been reborn Where do I begin?
Won't be long 'til the clouds move in
And black dog days begin
Well so be it Baby, that's OK
Cause it's clear
Clear skies today
Just Lie to Me,
Baby Don't say a word that could ruin this day
It Ain't that often
That I can feel the world turn my way
Won't be long 'til the clouds move in
And black dog days begin
Well so be it Baby, that's OK
Cause it's clear
Clear skies today
So just
Lie to Me, Baby
Lie to Me, Baby
Just Lie to Me
Lie to Me, Baby
Lie to Me, Baby
Just Lie to Me
Just Lie to Me, Baby
Don't say a word that could ruin this day
It ain't that often
That I can feel the world turn my way
Lie to Me, Baby
You ain't got enough to say
It ain't that often
That I can feel the world turn my way
I say
Lie to Me, Baby
Lie to Me, Baby
Just Lie to Me
Lie to Me, Baby
Lie to Me, Baby
Just Lie to Me
The lyrics to Martin Zellar's song "Lie to Me" depict a person who wakes up with a strange feeling but then starts to remember the possibilities of the past. The opening lines set the scene for the rest of the song; the singer wakes up with an unusual feeling and slowly starts to recognize the potential around them. The line "Took me a minute to recognize possibility" implies that the person has been going through a tough time and needs to be reminded of the good things in life.
Later in the song, we see the person develop a sense of purpose to start their day. They say, "I need a plan here, I've been reborn. Where do I begin?" Here, the person is trying to figure out what they want to accomplish and what steps they need to take to make it happen. However, instead of acknowledging the potential for darkness in the future, the singer asks their partner to "Lie to Me" to maintain the feeling of positivity they have in the moment. This can be interpreted as a desire to hold onto the good feeling and not let negative thoughts interfere with it.
Overall, the song is an exploration of the human psyche as people try to balance their feelings of hope and fear. Sometimes, as in the case of the singer, people need to be reminded of the possibilities and to hold onto the good feelings when things seem to be going their way. However, the dark clouds on the horizon are ever present, and the singer recognizes that they will eventually move in.

Woke up this morning
I woke up this morning
Strange feeling hanging over me
I have an unusual feeling that I can't explain
Took me a minute
It took me some time
To recognize possibility
To realize that today could be a good day
From somewhere way back
From some distant past experience
Came long gone memories of wide-eyed days
I remembered my happy childhood days
I was a good boy
I used to be a good person
And I lived under a kind sun's rays
I was living a happy life
Walk to the kitchen
I walked to the kitchen
Drink some coffee and my heart kicks in
After drinking coffee, I feel more awake and energized
I need a plan here,
I need to come up with a plan for the day
I've been reborn Where do I begin?
I feel like I have a fresh start, but I don't know where to start
Won't be long 'til the clouds move in
It won't be long before something goes wrong
And black dog days begin
And I start feeling sad or depressed
Well so be it Baby, that's OK
I accept that things may not always be perfect
Cause it's clear Clear skies today
But today, everything seems to be going well
Just Lie to Me, Baby Don't say a word that could ruin this day
Please don't tell me anything bad today, just let me enjoy it
It Ain't that often That I can feel the world turn my way
It's not often that things go well for me
Lie to Me, Baby You ain't got enough to say
If you don't have anything good to say, just don't say anything
I say Lie to Me, Baby Lie to Me, Baby Just Lie to Me
I'm asking you to lie to me so I can continue feeling good
Lie to Me, Baby Don't say a word that could ruin this day
I don't want to hear anything negative that could ruin my day
It ain't that often That I can feel the world turn my way
It's rare for me to feel like things are going my way
Lie to Me, Baby Lie to Me, Baby Just Lie to Me
I want you to keep lying to me so I can stay happy
