Your Lies Become You
Monster Magnet Lyrics

How did I get here without you?
Reflecting on the past and how the singer ended up where they are without the other person in their life.

It's a miracle we're all sane
Acknowledging the chaos and confusion in life, and being amazed that everyone is still holding on to their sanity.

We're kinda like sucked in a vacuum
Feeling trapped and unable to escape a difficult situation, like being stuck in a vacuum.

Of booking a flight on a doomed plane
Comparing the feeling of being trapped to being on a doomed plane, where there is no escaping the inevitable crash.

Well you claimed you could read the future
Referring to the other person's false claims of foresight and clairvoyance.

And I'd say that you've nailed that down
Sarcastically acknowledging the other person's supposed ability to predict the future.

You still want everyone to love you
Pointing out the other person's desperate need for attention and affection from others.

Well here's a tip of my hat to you, Big Brain:
Sarcastically praising the other person's supposed intelligence and wit.

Do you really believe they can't see through
Challenging the other person's belief that they can deceive people with their lies.

A circus punk playing a foul game?
Insulting the other person by comparing them to a lowly and dishonest performer in a circus.

Let me cast you a light, one that's natural
Offering to shed light on the truth in a natural and honest way.

And with me you can strike that pose yeah
Encouraging the other person to be their true self and not put on a fake persona.

And you melt for the camera
Pointing out the other person's tendency to put on a show for others and be phony.

'Cause your lies become you
Suggesting that the other person is defined by their lies and deceit.

Yes, your lies become you
Reinforcing the idea that the other person's lies are an integral part of their identity.

How am I living without you?
Wondering how life is going without the other person, implying that it's not easy but manageable.

Mm I'm not even sure now that I'm sane
Expressing uncertainty and ambiguity about one's own sanity in the aftermath of the relationship.

But this little dog's got enough sense
Using a metaphor of a dog to imply that the singer has enough common sense to avoid getting hurt again.

To know not to sleep in the cold rain
Being smart enough to avoid making the same mistake twice, and taking care of oneself.

How are you doing without me?
Asking how the other person is doing since the end of the relationship, implying that they may not be doing well.

I'm sure you've found some new game
Assuming that the other person has moved on and found someone else to play games with.

I never wanted to miss you
Admitting that the artist never really wanted to miss the other person, but may still have some unresolved feelings.

But then I never thought I could take pain
Acknowledging that the singer didn't think they could handle the pain of being without the other person, but somehow managed to survive.

Hope it's warmer for you, princess
Insulting the other person by calling them a princess, and expressing the hope that their life is not going well.

I in fact hope it's hot as hell
Taking pleasure in the idea that the other person may be suffering and experiencing misery.

And you get what you asked for
Suggesting that the other person may have brought their problems upon themselves, and gotten what they deserved.

'Cause your lies become you
Reiterating the idea that the other person is characterized by their deceit and dishonesty.

Yes, your lies become you
Emphasizing the importance of honesty and integrity in defining one's true identity.

Yes, your lies become you after all
Summing up the song's message that lying and deception can ultimately define who a person is, and that it's important to be true to oneself.
