Please Don't Lie
Ryan Cabrera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An island
Shipwrecked off the coast
I'm tryin'
To reach you
I can't get close
Was something beautiful
[Chorus]
Please don't lie to me
It's all I ask of you
Please don't lie to me
Hurt me with the truth
Whatever you say
Couldn't take me away
I'm right by your side
Please don't lie
You're perfect
Too perfect
The painting
Never cracks
So show me
The canvas
Behind the mask
So tell me
What you're thinkin'
I know that there's more to say
[Chorus]
Show me you're there
Show me you're there
I'm on the outside
I know you're scared
[Chorus]
In Ryan Cabrera's song Please Don't Lie, the lyrics convey a sense of longing for honesty and authenticity in a relationship. The imagery of being lost on an island and shipwrecked off the coast suggests a feeling of isolation and distance from the person the singer is addressing. Despite the singer's efforts to reach this person, there seems to be a barrier preventing them from getting closer. The line "And all I ever wanted was something beautiful" suggests that the singer is looking for something genuine and heartfelt, beyond surface-level appearances.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's request for honesty - "Please don't lie to me, hurt me with the truth." This paints a picture of a relationship that may be based on falsehoods or half-truths, and the singer is urging the other person to come clean. The line "Whatever you say couldn't take me away, I'm right by your side" suggests that the singer is committed to the relationship, and no matter what secrets may come to light, they will stand by the other person's side.
The second verse of the song suggests that the other person may be presenting a perfect image, one that never cracks. The singer is asking to see behind this mask and to reveal the real person underneath. The line "Show me you're there, I'm on the outside, I know you're scared" suggests that the other person may be hiding their true self due to fear of rejection or vulnerability.
Overall, Please Don't Lie conveys a powerful message about the importance of honesty and authenticity in relationships, and the harm that can be caused by dishonesty and secrecy.
