Post/war Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Payment for sin
Paid in full on the end of a knife
Swallow it whole
Medicine for your soul
Golden hearts are cold as ice
The light from the hall
Is all that you saw
Under the door
The light that you swore
Was god, it gave you heart
Tell me why
We're all here now
Suffering it seems
If your god
Is wholly unimpressed by me
I won't be surprised
Is it a lie
Is it a lie
I don't care I just need to know
It can't be a lie
It can't be a lie
Why would you hurt me if you don't love me
Empty your head
Color it red
This room is far too white
Give me call
Say'n you've lost it all
You can no longer see the light
Who turned it off
The cigarette cough
The voice in the hall is silent
Who are you now
Tell me how
How the world is violent
Tell me why
We're all here now
Suffering it seems
If your god
Is wholly unimpressed by me
I won't be surprised
Is it a lie
Is it a lie
I don't care I just need to know
It can't be a lie
It can't be a lie
Why would you hurt me if you don't love me
Is it a lie
No can't be a lie
Is it a lie
Can't be a lie
Liar
The lyrics of Post/war's song LIE speaks about pain, sin, and the questioning of the existence of a higher power. The first few lines describe the physical scars that one may carry from past mistakes, viewed as payment for their sins. The imagery of paying in full at the end of a knife is particularly powerful, suggesting that the pain caused by the knife is a lesson that needs to be learned.
The next lines suggest that pain can be a form of medicine for the soul, but this comes at a cost. Those with "golden hearts" may seem cold as ice, potentially indicating that the removal of emotions can protect oneself from further harm.
The next verse shifts to a memory of growing up in a dark room, where the only source of light was from under the door. The light was seen as God, providing some sense of hope and a "golden heart." The chorus questions the purpose of suffering, particularly in the eyes of a higher power that may seem unattentive to human pain.
The second verse adds to the theme of confusion, asking who turned off the light and questioning one's identity amidst a violent world. The song ends with the repetition of the phrase, "is it a lie," potentially indicating a loss of faith in a higher power and a sense of betrayal from those who may have inflicted pain.
Overall, LIE is a powerful reflection on pain, trauma, faith, and the search for meaning amidst suffering.

Same. It’s funny because if you don’t notify Perseus and lie. Only Bell dies along with the nukes being activated.
Spider
He has a point of putting bell down and if it wasn't for the brainwash Perseus could win and then killing bell is just a "loose ends" cause he might betray and go back to Perseus
Sumswag Gaming
