Moby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That was just a lie
You said you love me
That was just a lie
All I wanted was someone
Who could keep me
Warm at night
You tried it baby
And now I know
This is gonna be the end
Oh, but you lied
You said you need me
That was just a lie
You said the truth
Once that was just a lie
All I needed was someone
Who could keep me
Warm at night
You tried it baby
But it didn't work
And now I know
This is gonna be the end
Oh, but you lied
All I needed was someone
Who could keep me
Warm at night
You tried it baby
But it didn't work
And now I know
This is gonna be the end
Oh, but you lied
In Moby's song Disco Lies, the lyrics describe a failed romantic relationship where the other person lied about wanting and loving the singer. The song is all about someone who is searching for a connection with another person, and they think they have found that with the person who lied to them. The lyric "all I wanted was someone who could keep me warm at night" is a common refrain throughout the song, and it emphasizes the idea that the singer is searching for love and affection. However, it becomes clear that the other person was not genuine in their love, leading to the realization that the relationship is ending.
The main theme of the song is about deception, with the other person lying about their feelings towards the singer. This theme is highlighted by the repetition of the phrase "that was just a lie" throughout the song. The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the betrayal the singer feels, making it a poignant and relatable song for people who have gone through similar situations. The song is a great example of Moby's ability to connect with his listeners through his lyrics, delivering a message that resonates with many.
