Following on… Read Full Bio ↴Sea Girls is a British four-piece band based in London.
Following on the heels of both the NME and Radio 1 Huw Stephens cherry-picking Sea Girls as Ones To Watch For 2018, the band released their follow up to January's HEAVENLY WAR - new single EAT ME WHOLE which furthers the bold claim that they are one of the most reliable new bands for penning these instant indie-disco, festival ready anthems.
Fronted by Henry Camamile, the single is the first to be taken from the band's third EP - EP3 which follows EP1 CALL ME OUT and EP2 HEAVENLY WAR and is another timely example of what this young British band are capable of.
Arriving in London via Leicestershire and Kent, Sea Girls know there is nothing understated or apologetic about a bold chorus, especially one that can be sung in unison by thousands of fans together of all walks of life. Sea Girls have these choruses in spades.
Henry Camamile on EAT ME WHOLE – “It’s a story about the moment at a party when it’s just about to kick off over someone being rude and one guy thinking he’s the man, but in reality they’re just killing the vibe. It was written the same day we recorded it, so it has that exciting and impulsive energy of a brand new jam, so we thought let’s do something in the moment to reflect the story of the song and see what happens. The music and the lyrics all came together and we love how it sounds.”
Following the quartets maiden UK headline tour in February, with fans screaming the words back to them the festival season is fast approaching with appearances confirmed at Reading and Leeds festival, Citadel, Truck, 110 Above, Live At Leeds, The Great Escape and Belladrum to mention but a few.
Lie to Me
Sea Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But if I don't say it, then I haven't said it
I wanna die in a dream of me and you
But I know you're happier not hearing truth
See the problem is I cut my teeth on something that I shouldn't eat
Let's kick back doing bad things just for fun
So you can just lie, lie, lie to me
My mouth is crazy over yours
So you can just lie, lie, lie to me
You tell me I'm the one that makes you mad
But do I make you the antithesis of sad
You said that you and me we should forget it
But that look on your face tells me that I misread it
See the problem is I cut my teeth on something that I shouldn't eat
Let's kick back doing bad things just for fun
I'm a baby when it comes to my thoughts
So you can just lie, lie, lie to me
My mouth is crazy over yours
So you can just lie, lie, lie to me
I wanna give my body and soul
Or I could give you sweet sweet nothing at all
But if you give me a midnight call
I'll be there waiting for you at the end of the road
I've got a scared brain inside of my skull
We walk a fine white line with nowhere to go
I've got a mindset you put in my head
Just shine a bright bright light to a book to forget
I'm a baby when it comes to my thoughts
So you can just lie, lie, lie to me
My mouth is crazy over yours
So you can just lie, lie, lie to me
I'm a baby when it comes to my thoughts
So you can just lie, lie, lie to me
My mouth is crazy over yours
So you can just lie, lie, lie to me
You can lie, lie, lie, lie, lie to me, night night night lie to me
You can lie, lie, lie to me, any night, every night
Just lie, lie, lie to me
Lie, lie to me
Lie, lie, lie, lie to me, any night you can lie, lie, lie to me
Any night, every night you can lie to me
You can lie, you can lie, you can lie to me
Any night, any night you can lie to me
You can lie, you can lie, you can lie to me
The opening line of the song, “Choking on my words, yeah, it's pathetic, But if I don't say it, then I haven't said it,” seems to convey a sense of desperation and vulnerability. The singer is struggling to articulate their feelings, but at the same time, they know they have to express themselves. As the song progresses, it becomes apparent that the singer feels strongly for someone but also recognizes that the other person may not feel the same way. The lyrics, “I wanna die in a dream of me and you, But I know you're happier not hearing truth,” suggest that the singer is living in a fantasy world and that they understand that the other person may not feel the same way.
In the chorus, the singer repeats, “So you can just lie, lie, lie to me, My mouth is crazy over yours.” These lyrics seem to suggest that the singer is willing to accept any kind of affection from the other person, even if it means lying or pretending. The bridge of the song is perhaps the most revealing section, where the singer says, “I wanna give my body and soul, Or I could give you sweet sweet nothing at all, But if you give me a midnight call, I'll be there waiting for you at the end of the road.” Here, the singer seems to confess their love for the other person, but at the same time, they recognize that the feeling may not be mutual.
Overall, “Lie to Me” is a poignant exploration of unrequited love, the feeling of helplessness that it often brings, and the willingness to accept any form of affection, even if it means being lied to.
