Deception
Pledge This Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No one in this world matters
We're all gutless soulless
Worthless, no one in this world
Matters we're all putrid fucking liars.
Who am I to speak?,
I'm just as bad as everyone else, who am I to speak? I'm just as bad as everyone else on this rock.
Who am I to speak? we all lie through our fucking teeth, who am I to speak? we all lie like it's 1993.
Ask no questions here no lies, hide the truth in your eyes.

Don't be so flattered we were never meant to be this way.I dream that we all change for the meanwhile I'll stand by to watch and pray.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pledge This's song Deception reflect a sense of disillusionment and cynicism towards the world and its inhabitants. The opening lines, "No one in this world matters, We're all gutless soulless worthless," highlight the belief that humans are devoid of any moral fiber or purpose. The repetition of the phrase "Who am I to speak?" suggests a lack of confidence in the singer's ability to judge or critique others when they, too, are flawed. This sentiment is reinforced with the lines, "I'm just as bad as everyone else on this rock, we all lie through our fucking teeth, we all lie like it's 1993."

Throughout the song, we can see a theme of deception or lying. The line, "Ask no questions here, no lies, hide the truth in your eyes," alludes to the idea that we often conceal our true intentions or feelings, either to avoid conflict or to manipulate those around us. However, the chorus provides a glimmer of hope for change, "I dream that we all change, for the meanwhile I'll stand by to watch and pray." This line expresses the desire for transformation and growth in society but also acknowledges the current state of the world.

Who am I to speak? we all lie through our fucking teeth, who am I to speak? we all lie like it's 1993.
