I Lied
Mustasch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And what is wrong, what's wrong
Is it what we have become, and what we've done
And what we didn't do to get things undone
The truth will sacrifice
While we tried, while we tried to work it all out
Now I need a place to hide
I Lied, I Lied to you baby, that's right
I refuse to break down
I won't cry, I won't cry
How come I never fall in love
I wonder why, I really wonder why
The plan I had for my life
It seemed so right
I thought I had it all figured out
Now I need a place to hide
Cause I Lied, I Lied to myself, that's right
Here in my hideout in the shades
I go insane, it feels like I'm going insane
I call upon winds, I call upon rain
Cause I hate, I hate to lose
Though I feel it's pretty cool
I know that time, time heal all wounds
I pretend that everything's alright
I Lied, I Lied to you all
I said hello, where are you from
And what is wrong, what's wrong
Is it what we have become, and what we've done
And what we didn't do to get this undone
The plan I had for my life
It seemed so right
How come I never fall in love
I refuse to break down
The lyrics to Mustasch's song "I Lied" are quite introspective and deal with themes of personal deception and the struggle to maintain a façade of strength in the face of internal turmoil. The opening lines see the singer asking someone where they are from and what is wrong, before speculating on the reasons for the issues that afflict them. The following lines touch on the idea that in trying to fix things, the truth may be sacrificed at times. However, the singer himself has lied, and now feels the need to hide. The subsequent verses see the singer struggling with the idea of breaking down and falling in love, and the feeling that despite having a plan for his life, it doesn't seem to have panned out as expected.
The chorus sees the singer dealing with the consequences of his lies, and the need for a place to now hide. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the persona is struggling with a sense of being lost and displaced, and the idea that time heals all wounds is intimated. In the end, however, the singer is still lying, and is forced to confront the fact that he has been lying to himself and others.
