Lies
Mr. Blackwell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I spin another line on you
You can't blame a fella for trying
I'm hoping you eat my every word
Doesn't it taste so good?
But deep inside I'm dying
Oh! I wanna word with you
It's time for another white lie
White lies just another white lie
I did it to get close to you
And I will tell a million more
White lies just another white lie
I do it to get close to you
And I will tell a million more white lies
One day I know you'll understand
That I didn't really have much choice
I just had to hide it
Sometimes good men do bad things
Just as bad men can do good
Tell me which way you like it
Oh! I wanna word with you
There's never a perfect time
However much I try
Oh! Why don't you sit yourself down?
Cos we gotta talk this through
It's time for another white lie
White lies just a little white lie
I did it to get close to you
And I will tell a million more
White lies just a little white lie
I do it to get close to you
And I will tell a million more white lies
Oh-oh oh-oh
I was just playing girl I was just playing by your rules
Oh-oh oh-oh
Just another white lie and I'll tell a million more
White lies
The song "Lies" by Mr. Blackwell talks about the importance and impact of lies in a relationship. The lyrics are written in a conversational manner with the singer admitting that he tells white lies in order to get close to the person he is singing to. The singer expresses that he hides his true feelings and inner turmoil with lies, although he knows that it is not a healthy way to deal with things. The chorus of the song says "White lies, just another white lie. I did it to get close to you. And I will tell a million more." This shows that the singer will continue to tell lies to this person because he feels like he has to in order to have a connection with them.
The lyrics also show a sense of desperation from the singer's point of view. He wants the person he is speaking to, but he feels like he cannot be his true self in order to get them. He even admits to spinning another line on them to get them to believe in his lies. The line "Doesn't it taste so good? But deep inside I'm dying" shows that while he enjoys getting the person's attention through his lies, he knows that it is not the right way to go about things.
In conclusion, the song "Lies" by Mr. Blackwell touches on the theme of relationships and how lies can impact them. While the singer admits to telling lies to get close to the person he is speaking to, it is important to note that this is not a healthy way to start or maintain a relationship. This song can serve as a cautionary tale for relationships based on deception.
