Why do girls lie yea why do girls lie
When you know what it is whole time
Why do girls lie
She be scamming em online
She Charge it up until it say decline
Why do girls lie yea yea
Why do girls lie yea yea
She Gotta nigga on the side
But tell you, you the one she wanna ride
Why do girls lie
I just got 1 question imma let it fly
Yeah you say you love me but you ain't down to ride
For you it's just a high, for me I feel a vibe
I'm looking in your eyes and I can see the lies
Thought you had me lace up tight like army boots
Head game vicious kitty game be the truth but
Ain't ain't tripping off the fruit
You think I'm him, you think I'm them they say I'm a dog but I ain't goof
Pull up to your place want to see your face
When I get close my hearts at a different pace
You open up the door with some lingerie and it's laced
When you see me it's a bent look on your face
You tried to close it back I put my foot in that I push you out the way like wait who the fuck is that
Then dude stands up like who the fuck are you
Who the fuck I am I'mma show you what it do wait
Man I'm tripping dude I ain't tryna fight
I'm Shook up in the head I'm trying to get this right
Look I apologize was built up off hype
Damn you let me down thought you was wifey type
Why do girls lie yea why do girls lie
When you know what it is whole time
Why do girls lie
She be scamming em online
She Charge it up until it say "Declined"
Why do girls lie yea yea
Why do girls lie yea yea
Why do they lie
She Gotta nigga on the side
but tell you, you the one she wanna ride
Why do girls lie
Coco butter complexion hair touching her shoulders
Nasty lil walk I love it when I be over
Love it when she bend over
Hans up on them hips cuttin her ringer off while I'm kissing them lower lips
Something feel a lil different Usually touching them kidneys
She run to the kitchen what has her attention
Is it something I'm missing moving with bad attentions
Homie look like he wanted but he don't really want get it
Thinking I'm 23 ended up being Pippen
Treat me like Prince Akeem
But still threw it to Semmi
Listen i ain't tripping be blessed and do you
They say men lie but guess what women too
Why do girls lie yea why do girls lie
When you know what it is whole time
Why do girls lie
She be scamming em online
She Charge it up until it say declined
Why do girls lie yea yea
Why do girls lie yea yea
Why do they lie
She Gotta nigga on the side
But tell you, you the one she wanna ride
Why do girls lie

The song "Shadows" by SD-Theory deals with themes of desperation, helplessness, and the feeling of being lost. It starts with the plea to take the body and state of mind, suggesting a desire for escape from the present reality. The use of the word "fool" in "Fool me with a cheap surprise, gets me every time" highlights the desperate state of the singer, who is willing to be fooled as long as it provides a temporary relief. The following lines "Please take a second to wash away the pride, don't even leave me with an emptiness inside" further reinforce the idea that the singer is struggling with something internally but needs assistance to overcome it.
The lyrics "Under the ocean lies my bitterness, Sea of desperation leaves no evidence, Give me the bottle filled with turpentine, Take me from this hell I have and leave this world behind" signify the depth of despair and the desire for an escape from it. The reference to the sea and turpentine both signify a desire to erase what has already happened and start anew. The chorus repeats the phrase "I am nothing," emphasizing feelings of worthlessness and loss of identity.
In the second verse, the singer expresses feeling wounded and searching for something, even if it means digging through dirt. The repetition of the phrase "I am nothing" reaffirms the singer's sense of loss, and the chorus repeats with the same message. However, the plea for help is added at the end, indicating a glimmer of hope in the midst of the dark feelings of the song.
Overall, "Shadows" is a poignant and emotionally charged song that illustrates the struggles of someone who has lost their way in life.
Line by Line Meaning
Please take my body
I wish to escape from myself and forget who I am
Take my state o' mind
Take away my thoughts and emotions that make me feel this way
Fool me with a cheap surprise
I am easily deceived and distracted from my reality
Gets me every time
I keep making the same mistakes and falling into the same traps
Please take a second to wash away the pride
I acknowledge my arrogance and ask for humility
Don?t even leave me with an emptiness inside
I don't want to feel anything anymore, but I also don't want to feel empty
Under the ocean lies my bitterness (Lies my bitterness)
My pain and resentment is buried deep within me
Sea of desperation leaves no evidence (Leaves no evidence)
My struggles and suffering go unnoticed by the world
Give me the bottle Filled with turpentine (Filled with turpentine)
I turn to substances to numb my pain and make me forget
Take me from this hell I have And leave this world behind
I want to escape my current reality and start over somewhere else
See me fade away
I am slowly losing myself to my problems
Watch me disappear
I fear being forgotten and disappearing completely
Lost without a trace
I am directionless and feel like I have no purpose
I?m everything I fear
The worst parts of myself are what scare me the most
Can anyone find a way To help me
I feel alone and helpless in my situation
'Cause I'm nothing but a shadow
I am a mere shadow of who I used to be, and I feel empty inside
I feel so wounded
I am deeply hurt and in pain
Kick me when I'm down
I feel like life keeps throwing me curveballs and knocking me down
I search the dirt below And look at what I found
I am looking for something to give me hope or purpose, but I only find disappointment
I, I am nothin'
I feel worthless and insignificant
