Bonus Track
Sicks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They stand before themselves
For richer or for poorer,
in sickness and in health
Words are mostly meaningless the only truth that really is
(We’re all getting) by telling lies, telling lies
(Everyone we love) is telling lies, telling lies
(Everyone alive) is telling lies
She feels the whole world on her shoulders as she tucks her kid in bed
It gets better when you’re older and they believe the words she says
Words are mostly meaningless, the only truth that really is
(We don’t really mind) telling lies, telling lies
(cause we’re all getting by) telling lies, telling lies
Maybe that’s why I never felt like I could trust any friend of mine
(everyone alive) is telling lies, telling lies
She walks naked in the bedroom as I’m lying on my back
And says "baby please by honest have I been getting fat?"
But my words are mostly meaningless the only truth that really is
(Everyone we love) is telling lies, telling lies
(Everyone we know) is telling lies, telling lies
Maybe that is why I can justify the way I live my life
(Cause everyone alive) is telling lies
The song "Bonus Track" by Sicks portrays how everyone in this world tends to hide their true selves and feelings behind lies. The first verse describes a typical wedding ceremony where the couple vows to stick together in both good and bad times. However, the singer believes that words in such ceremonies are meaningless because everyone tells lies, which is the only truth that exists. The lies are portrayed as a way to get by in life, and everyone does it, including the ones we love. The singer feels that this might be the reason why they could never trust anyone.
The second verse tells a story of a mother who feels the weight of the world on her shoulders as she puts her child to bed. She tries to console herself by saying that things will get better with time and that her child believes the lies she tells them. The lies are again described as a way to get by in life, and everyone does it. In the final verse, the singer's partner questions their physical appearance, and the singer again confesses that their words are meaningless, and they too tell lies. The song ends with the realization that everyone alive is telling lies because it's a way to get by.
Overall, the song "Bonus Track" by Sicks talks about how society is built on lies, and everyone tells lies to survive. The song tries to bring attention to the fact that people need to be more honest with one another to create a better world.
