Lie to Me
Quietdrive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sitting right across from you
I feel the heat come through
It burns inside my chest, it's caving in
Always thought the world of you
Never needed any proof
The more and more I know
Oh boy
I thought that I would be stronger
(You don't have to go)
(Please, you don't have to say this)
I thought that this would be harder
(I don't have to know)
(Cuz I know I can't take that)
You can take the pain away
With everything you say to me
Just lie to me, lie to me
I don't care, it doesn't matter
You can take the pain away
With everything you say to me
Just lie to me, lie to me
Don't you know that I can't handle the truth?
I'm spending money out of the bides
Something to do dark inside
The art of asking you
Is something I can't do but maybe just
If you look me in these eyes
Tell me everything's alright
That's all I need to know
That's all I need to know
Oh boy
I thought that I would be stronger
(You don't have to go)
(Please, you don't have to say this)
I thought that this would be harder
(I don't have to know)
(Cuz I know I can't take that)
You can take the pain away
With everything you say to me
Just lie to me, lie to me
I don't care, it doesn't matter
You can take the pain away
With everything you say to me
Just lie to me, lie to me
Don't you know that I can't handle the truth?
The art to wanna face the night
Aside you with your blithe
The day that I came crawling back to you
What do you do when you're the answer?
Told you to kill
Cuz the love is to love you
Love is the loneliness
That's coming home with you
With you
You can take the pain away
With everything you say to me
Just lie to me, lie to me
I don't care, it doesn't matter
You can take the pain away
With everything you say to me
Just lie to me, lie to me
Don't you know that I can't handle
Don't you know that I can't handle
Don't you know that I can't handle the truth?
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
The lyrics to Quietdrive's song "Lie to Me" describe a situation where the singer is alone with someone they care about in a bedroom. The singer feels intense emotions, as though a fire is burning inside their chest, and they find it difficult to deal with. They once thought highly of this person and trusted them completely, but now they've discovered something that's causing them great pain.
The singer is desperate for the other person to tell them something that will make the pain go away, even if it's not entirely true. They're asking to be lied to because they can't handle the truth. In the second verse, the singer admits to indulging in self-destructive behavior, spending money and doing things that make them feel bad, but they still can't face the truth they've learned. The lyrics take a turn towards the darker side when they plead to be lied to and state that love is loneliness.
The song is about the emotional pain that comes from discovering a truth that one does not want to face or accept. The singer is essentially asking for someone to hide the truth from them and make the pain go away. While it may not be the healthiest approach, it's a very relatable emotion that many people can identify with.
Line by Line Meaning
All alone in your bedroom
You're by yourself, in your private space
Sitting right across from you
I'm here, facing you
I feel the heat come through
I sense the intensity of the moment
It burns inside my chest, it's caving in
The feeling inside me is overwhelming, like a weight on my chest
Always thought the world of you
I held you in the highest regard
Never needed any proof
I never doubted you
The more and more I know
As I discover more about you
It kills me just to hear it
It hurts me so much to hear the truth
You can take the pain away
You have the power to make it all better
With everything you say to me
Just by speaking to me
Just lie to me, lie to me
Tell me what I want to hear, even if it's not true
I don't care, it doesn't matter
As long as I don't have to deal with the truth
Don't you know that I can't handle the truth?
I'm not strong enough to deal with reality
I'm spending money out of the bides
I'm wasting money recklessly
Something to do dark inside
To fill the void or numb the feeling inside
The art of asking you
It's difficult for me to ask you
Is something I can't do but maybe just
I struggle to communicate with you
If you look me in these eyes
If you stare into my eyes
Tell me everything's alright
Assure me that everything is okay
That's all I need to know
That's all I want to hear
The art to wanna face the night
The desire to confront issues at night
Aside you with your blithe
Next to you, with your carefree attitude
The day that I came crawling back to you
When I begged for your forgiveness
What do you do when you're the answer?
What do you do when you hold the solution to everything?
Told you to kill
I urged you to end our relationship
Cuz the love is to love you
Because the way to show love is to leave you
Love is the loneliness
Love is the feeling of being alone
That's coming home with you
That's what you're taking with you
Lie to me
Deceive me

I love quietdrive. this video isn't my favorite, and doesn't make sense to me. However, this song is absolutely incredible. I have a feeling this new album is going to be their best work in a while. =)

i don't find anything wrong with the video,simple it may be,but it's unique and who cares for paying a bunch of money for a music video! love it,and even though we all can have different meaning for a song,doesn't mean you have to completely understand the video - love it quietdrive/kevin!
Emma A
What's wrong with the video? It's different from their other ones... but there's nothing wrong with that! Personally, I find videos of bands just performing the song for the official video pointless... Very awesome song! :) <3
