Bad Liar
Selena Gomez [TakTaraneh.Com] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tryna distract myself
But then I see your face
Oh wait, that's someone else
Ohh, tryna play it coy
Tryna make it disappear
But just like the battle of Troy
There's nothing subtle here
Bigger than it used to be
If you want you can rent that place
Call me an amenity
Even if it's in my dreams
Ooh you're taking up a fraction of my mind
Ooh every time I watch you serpentine
Oh I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Oh tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Not to think about you
No, no, no, no
Not to think about you
No, no, no, no
Oh I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Oh tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Not to give in to you
No, no, no, no
Not to give in to you
With my feelings on fire
Guess I'm a bad liar
I see how your attention builds
It's like looking in a mirror
Your touch like a happy pill
But still all we do is fear
What could possibly happen next?
Can we focus on the love?
Paint my kiss across your chest
If you're the art, I'll be the brush
Ooh you're taking up a fraction of my mind
Ooh every time I watch you serpentine
Oh I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Oh tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Not to think about you
No, no, no, no
Not to think about you
No, no, no, no
Oh I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Oh tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Not to give in to you
No, no, no, no
Not to give in to you
All of my feelings on fire
Guess I'm a bad liar
And oh baby let's make reality, actuality, a reality
Oh baby let's make reality, actuality, a reality
Oh, oh, I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Oh tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Not to think about you
No, no, no, no
Not to think about you
No, no, no, no
Oh I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Oh tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Not to give in to you
No, no, no, no
Not to give in to you
With my feelings on fire
Guess I'm a bad liar
The song "Bad Liar" by Selena Gomez talks about the confusion and obsession that one feels over someone they are attracted to. Selena talks about how she tries to distract herself from thinking about this person, but every time she sees them, she gets drawn back in. She tries to be coy, but it's clear that she is not subtle in her feelings towards this person. In the privacy of her room, she dreams about being with them and seems to want to give into her feelings, but she knows that it will only complicate things further.
The lyrics go on to illustrate how the attention that this person gives her is like a drug, and yet she still fears what could happen next. It's as if this person has a hold on her - a "fraction of her mind" - that she can't shake, and she is constantly battling with her own thoughts and feelings. She realizes that she's a "bad liar" because she can't hide the fact that this person affects her deeply.
Overall, "Bad Liar" is a relatable anthem for anyone who has ever been unable to resist the pull of an attraction, even when they know it's not good for them.
Line by Line Meaning
I was walking down the street the other day
I was walking outside on a road
Tryna distract myself
Trying to keep myself busy
But then I see your face
But then I saw someone who looks like you
Oh wait, that's someone else
Oh wait, that's not actually you
Ohh, tryna play it coy
Ohh, trying to act nonchalant
Tryna make it disappear
Trying to ignore it
But just like the battle of Troy
But just like the famous battle in mythology,
There's nothing subtle here
There's nothing subtle about it
In my room there's a king size space
My room has a large bed
Bigger than it used to be
It's bigger than it was before
If you want you can rent that place
If you want, you can stay there
Call me an amenity
Consider me as a perk
Even if it's in my dreams
Even if it's only in my imagination
Ooh you're taking up a fraction of my mind
You're on my mind
Ooh every time I watch you serpentine
Every time I watch you move like a snake
Oh I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Oh, I'm attempting to
Not to think about you
Not to think about you
Not to give in to you
Not to let myself fall for you
With my feelings on fire
My emotions are intense
Guess I'm a bad liar
I can't hide my feelings very well
I see how your attention builds
I see how you become more interested
It's like looking in a mirror
It's like seeing myself
Your touch like a happy pill
Your touch is like a drug that makes me happy
But still all we do is fear
But we're still both afraid
What could possibly happen next?
What will happen next?
Can we focus on the love?
Can we just focus on each other?
Paint my kiss across your chest
Let me kiss you all over
If you're the art, I'll be the brush
If you're the canvas, I'll be the paintbrush
And oh baby let's make reality, actuality, a reality
Let's make our dreams come true
