liar
Passionworks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when you're with me aha
You son of a bitch you're only using me
I set you free
Liar!
Go for your desire
So you leave me crying
You live for my pain but not for me
You said I was something special here
- so special that you left!
The fear in your lies reveals a chicken inside
you try to hide
Liar!
Go for your desire
So you leave me crying
for your empty fire and soul
You live for my pain but not for me
You live for my pain but not for me
Liar!
Go for your desire
So you leave me crying
for your empty fire and soul
You live for my pain but not for me
You live for my pain but not for me
You live for my pain but not for me
The lyrics to Passionworks' song "Liar" describe the experience of being used by someone who only sees you as a means to their own end. The singer laments the fact that the person they've been spending time with is only using them for their own pleasure, and doesn't care about their needs or feelings. The first verse sets up this dynamic, with the singer being told that their company makes the other person feel better, only to find out later that they were being used. The chorus repeats the accusation of lying, and urges the other person to pursue their true desire, rather than pretending to care about the singer. The second verse is a bit more self-reflective, with the singer wondering what made them seem so "special" to the other person that they were willing to lie and manipulate to spend time with them. Ultimately, however, the chant of "liar" persists, highlighting the sense of betrayal and pain the singer feels.
