Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How long till this aching goes away?
How long should I stay?
How long should I keep myself awake?
Where were you in the end?
Where were you when I said?
I'm a liar just like you and that's ok
There's nothing left to see
There's nothing left to be it's all been done
There's nothing left for you
There's nothing left for me it's all been done
There's nowhere left to hide
There's nowhere left to run
And it's all gone, it's all gone
And I, I'm a liar just like you,
And that's okay.
And I, I'm guilty, just like everyone today.
And I, I'm a liar just like you,
And That's okay.
And I, I'm guilty, just like everyone today.
Who holds on to all of this history
Nothing's new it's all been ending
Over over over again
Over over over again
Holding on to all this history
Nothing's new it's all been ending
Over over over, and again.
And I, I'm a liar just like, and that's okay.
And I, I'm guilty, just like everyone today.
Today.
The lyrics to Neverending White Lights feat. Raine Maida's song "Liar" is an exploration of guilt, aching pain, and the cyclical nature of mistakes. The singer is questioning how long they will continue to feel the pain and how much longer they should stay in this state before moving on. They wonder where the person they're addressing was when they needed them, questioning their loyalty and reliability. However, in the chorus, the singer admits that they are also a liar and guilty, like the person they are addressing. They accept this as okay, acknowledging their flaws and mistakes as part of the human condition.
The line "Who holds on to all of this history, nothing's new, it's all been ending, over, over, over again," points to the cyclical nature of mistakes and pain. The singer seems to be stuck in a cycle of guilt and pain, unable to break free. They hold on to their past mistakes as if it defines them, unable to escape the cycle of pain and guilt. However, they find solace in the fact that they are not alone in their struggles. Everyone is a liar and guilty in some way, and it is okay.
In summary, "Liar" is a song about accepting one's flaws and mistakes while acknowledging the cyclical nature of pain and guilt. The singer questions how long they should hold on to their pain, wondering where their support was when they needed it.
