From taking the psychedelic “ayahuasca,” she expresses in the chorus that she had just woken up (spiritually), and her past involved lies. There are things she wants to understand more, things she doesn’t understand, and things she can’t verbally articulate in a way for others to understand.

She discusses seeing death, truth, happiness, anger, voices, and apparitions. All of these spiritual awakenings are part of her ‘Cyrus Sky.’

Cyrus Skies
Miley Cyrus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eyes are strange, they say everything
While I'm lost, they just try to sing
Singing something, I can never
Fall forever and ever
So I try to understand it all
But I fell to live it up
I'm still standing here forever
Without sunshine in my mind

Yeah I've been alive
But I've been a liar
Yeah I've been alive
But I've been a liar
There's some kind of love
That's so much higher
Yeah I've been alive
But I've been a liar

I've seen death, I've seen truth
I've heard lies, I've seen both too
I've seen happiness, I've seen anger
I've seen the Sun come up and I've kissed the moon
I've heard voices, through the fog
I've seen figures, in my bed
I feel protected by things I don't understand
And that's more than you could say

Yeah I've been alive
But I've been a liar
Yeah I've been alive
But I've been a liar
There's some kind of love
That's so much higher

Yeah I've been alive
But I've been a liar
