Much The Same Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of my honest heart
So naturally the truth
Flows from my mouth
Of course I have lied
My share of times in my life
But it's pulling the teeth
They pass to even spit them out
So it's so hard to find
That I've been lying
To myself all this time
I say I know you but
It's time I realized
This life I lead is far
From glorifying
Redundancy is plaguing me,
It happens all the time
Because I just keep trying
And it's so dark in here
And I need you near
To ease my growing fear
So now I know the truth that
I've been missing all along
Or maybe just didn't want to hear
And I confess I'm a lifetime liar
Of the truest kind
But I'm no longer blind
In Much The Same's song "Liar," the singer reflects on his past and admits the ways in which he has been dishonest. He begins by expressing his pride in his honest heart and how truth comes naturally to him. However, he acknowledges that he has lied before, but struggles with admitting those lies to others. He says it's "pulling the teeth" to even speak about them.
As the song progresses, the singer realizes that he's been lying to himself and others about how well he knows someone. He understands that his life is not what he imagined it to be and that "redundancy is plaguing" him. Despite his challenges, he expresses a desire to find redemption and confesses that he's been a "lifetime liar of the truest kind" but is no longer blind to the truth.
The lyrics to "Liar" reveal the struggle of admitting past mistakes and the importance of being honest, even when it's difficult. The singer's journey towards self-awareness and introspection shows a level of vulnerability and maturity that makes the song relatable to listeners.
