The Liar
Rev. E.D. Campbell Lyrics

The lyrics of Rev. E.D. Campbell's song The Liar depicts a sense of betrayal and deception in a relationship. The first verse talks about the singer holding the door for their lover, who did not have the courage to leave in the first place, and instead lingered around but did not speak their mind. There seems to be a clear lack of communication and honesty, thus indicating an underlying tension and mistrust in their relationship.

The chorus of the song revolves around the phrase "But your colours, they're out of control," which can be interpreted in various ways. Perhaps it is a metaphor for the partner's erratic behavior, emotional instability or hidden agendas that the singer is finally realizing. The mention of "brighter times" is bittersweet as it leaves the singer conflicted about how to move forward after realizing their partner's lies. The repeated use of the phrase "But your colours" suggests that the singer is trying to focus on their partner's true emotions and motives and trying to make sense of their erratic actions.

The final verse of the song seems to be a plea to the partner to be honest and forthcoming before leaving. The singer is yearning for closure and is also regretful of not speaking up before. The use of phrases like "nothing feels the same without your love" and "some things I'd rather say before you go" imply a deep emotional attachment to the partner and the desire to reconcile, despite the trust issues.
