Lies
Provision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the shame that fell from your lips, gave you away.
I failed in believing, I could trust you again.
And the love you have for me, you have to bury in the
back of your mind.
I cannot look in your eyes. Anymore.
You won't be telling me lies. Anymore.
After all I've done for you. How could you do this to me?
The lyrics of Provision's song "Lies" depict a person facing the bitter truth of betrayal by a loved one. The song begins with the singer expressing his desire for the truth, which he believed he was entitled to. However, he finds himself let down when he realizes that the other person has been lying all along. The shame that falls from the other's lips gives away their deceit. Despite having trusted the other person before, the singer feels that he has failed in believing in them once again. The love that this person once had for him is now buried in the back of their mind, hidden away.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the deep sense of hurt and betrayal felt by the singer. He says that he cannot look in the other person's eyes any more because he knows that they will continue to lie to him. The relationship has been irreparably damaged because of the lies, and the singer cannot trust the other person anymore. He wants them to stop telling him lies and own up to their actions.
The final lines of the song express the singer's sense of confusion and disbelief at the other person's behavior. He wonders how they could do this to him, especially after everything he has done for them. The lyrics of "Lies" convey a powerful message about the importance of honesty and trust in relationships.
