The lyrics of Sanctum's song Lie Low seem to call out someone who is trying to conceal their true identity or hide their true self from the world. The chorus repeatedly urges this person to "show us your face," exposing the ugliness that lies beneath their exterior. The lines "you're gonna burn" suggest that this person will be punished for their deception, perhaps by being ostracized or facing some form of karma. The song also suggests that this person is trying to take others down with them, possibly because they don't want to be alone in their deceit.
The overall tone of the song is confrontational, with the repeated demands to "show us" sounding like a challenge or even a threat. The lyrics also suggest a certain level of anger or betrayal, as if the person being called out has done something wrong or hurtful. The lines "cause people are fools" hint at a certain level of contempt or disdain the singer has for others who might be easily deceived.
