Monika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the sky I saw the moon
In the sky I saw the stars
But I never saw a cloud
On the ground I found some friends
On the ground I found a lover
But I've never called their names
So, tell me know
Like the one you have lied
Or at least you have tried
Whether I'll live or I'll die
Whether I'll run or I'll hide
While I'm still facing reality
Don't write my name on the wall
Baby, I told you that's wrong
Though my father taught me how
And my mother told me why
And my brother show me where
I have never done the same
In the spring I had a flu
In the summer I was bored
Winter, autumn they were gone
So, tell me now
Like the one you have lied
Or at least you have tried
Whether I'll live or I'll die
Whether I'll run or I'll hide
While I'm still facing reality
Don't write my name on the wall
Baby, I told you that's wrong
I've never ever lied
Never even tried
Never with those bombs
That could ruin all my worlds
Never with that smile
I have always been a liar
The song "Fraud" by Monika revolves around the theme of deception and the consequences that come with it. In the opening lines, the sky is portrayed as a symbol of truth, where the sun, moon, and stars shine brightly. However, the absence of clouds could imply that the truth is not always clear and that deception can quickly take over. The singer later reveals that on the ground, she has found some friends and a lover, but she has never called their names. This suggests that the relationships are not genuine and that the singer is keeping secrets.
The chorus of the song asks the listener to reveal if they have lied or tried to deceive the singer, as it will determine her fate. She questions whether she will live or die, run or hide, as she faces reality. She implores the listener not to write her name on the wall, as it would be a sign of betraying her trust. The bridge of the song indicates that the singer has not been truthful either, as she confesses, "I have always been a liar."
Overall, "Fraud" is a thought-provoking song that raises questions about honesty, trust, and deception. It shows how keeping secrets and telling lies can lead to a loss of trust and authenticity. The song also highlights the importance of facing reality and being truthful, even if it may lead to uncomfortable conversations and conflicts.

In the sky I saw the sun
I have seen the bright side of life
In the sky I saw the moon
I have seen the darker side of life
In the sky I saw the stars
I have seen the beauty of life
But I never saw a cloud
I have never experienced sadness or problems in life
On the ground I found some friends
I have had acquaintances in my life
On the ground I found a lover
I have experienced love
But I've never called their names
I did not value them enough to remember their names
So, tell me now
I demand the truth
Like the one you have lied
Just like you have lied to me
Or at least you have tried
Or at least attempted to deceive me
Whether I'll live or I'll die
Whether my future is bright or dismal
Whether I'll run or I'll hide
Whether I will face my problems or avoid them
While I'm still facing reality
While I'm still dealing with the facts of life
Don't write my name on the wall
Don't make me a memory in your past
Baby, I told you that's wrong
I made it clear that I do not want to be forgotten
Though my father taught me how
I have been taught the right way to live
And my mother told me why
I have been told the reasons behind things
And my brother show me where
I have been shown the way in life
I have never done the same
But I have not followed their advice in life
In the spring I had a flu
I have experienced illness in my life
In the summer I was bored
I have experienced boredom in my life
Winter, autumn they were gone
I have forgotten about the hardships in life
I've never ever lied
I claim to have never lied in my life
Never even tried
I have never even attempted to deceive anyone
Never with those bombs
I have never destroyed anyone's life with my actions
That could ruin all my worlds
That could destroy all the good things in my life
Never with that smile
I have never used my charm to deceive anyone
I have always been a liar
Ironically, I have been deceiving myself by not acknowledging my own flaws
