Liar
Nine Inch Nails Lyrics

She spreads herself wide open to let the insects in
She is willing to expose herself to all kinds of dangers, even those that are seemingly insignificant, just to feel something.

She leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's been
She tries to lure people in with her charms, but in reality, she is leading them on a path of destruction.

She has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin
She has a cold, calculating nature and will do whatever it takes to survive - even if it means betraying those closest to her.

Seeds from a thousand others drip down from within
She has been with so many people that she is physically and emotionally soaked in the memories and desires of others.

Devils speak of the way in which she'll manifest
Even demons are frightened by her power and are unsure of what she might do next.

Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress
Even the purest of beings are not immune to her darkness, and she takes pleasure in corrupting them.

I need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness
She has a desperate need to be around others, but only if she can control or harm them in some way. Otherwise, she experiences a profound sense of isolation.

And I now know the depths I reach are limitless
She is aware of the extent of her own depravity, but instead of feeling shame or remorse, she revels in the knowledge that she can always sink lower.

Oh my beautiful liar
Despite her toxic nature, the artist is still entranced by her beauty and captivated by her lies.

Oh my precious whore
To him, she is simultaneously the most valuable and the most worthless thing in the world.

My disease, my infection
The singer recognizes that he has become addicted to her, and her presence in his life is slowly destroying him.

I am so impure
He feels tainted and corrupted by his association with her, but cannot bring himself to break away entirely.
