Lies
Skrizzly Adams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like I stood by mine
It's just like you to go and leave the ground
The gates of Heaven and now we're closing down
And I don't know how long we've been talking
But I'm getting tired of walking in circles so I'll break it down
I'll break it down
Leave your sins by the river
Even if they drown you know they'll last forever
And I think it's sick but it'd be better
If you quit your lies from now until forever
And I
Yea
Why don't you do just like we talked about
Like you said you would
This maverick house is gonna hit the ground
And fire's gonna burn but you can put it out
And I don't know how long we've been talking
But I'm getting tired of walking in circles so I'll break it down
I'll break it down
I'll break it down
Leave your sins by the river
Even if they drown you know they'll last forever
And I think it's sick but it'd be better
If you quit your lies from now until forever
And I
Yea
Leave your sins by the river
Even if you drown you know they'll last forever
And I think it's sick but it'd be better
If you quit your lies from now until forever
And I
Love you so but I know better than to
Throw up my guard and let it crumble to whatever
So it's a bunch of stories for another
Keep lying through your teeth even though I thought you was better
You can leave your sins by the river
Even if you drown you know they'll last forever
And I think it's sick but it'd be better
If you quit your lies from now until forever
And I
Love you so but I know better than to
Throw up my guard and let it crumble to whatever
So it's a bunch of stories for another
Keep lying through your teeth even though I thought you was better
In Skrizzly Adams's song "Lies," the lyrics address the theme of deception and the importance of honesty in relationships. The song appears to be directed towards an individual who has been caught lying, and instead of admitting their guilt or standing by their alibi, they continue to perpetuate their deceitful behavior. The singer in the song expresses their frustration with the situation, highlighting the circular nature of their conversations and the impact of the lies on the trust and reliability of their relationship. The lyrics also suggest a desire for the individual to take responsibility for their actions and leave their sins by the river, acknowledging that the truth may be difficult, but it is necessary for moving forward.
The song's chorus, "Leave your sins by the river, even if they drown you know they'll last forever. And I think it's sick, but it'd be better if you quit your lies from now until forever," emphasizes the negative effects of lies on both individuals in the relationship. The repetition of the lyrics emphasizes the importance of honesty and the potential consequences of failing to take responsibility for one's actions. The song's overall message appears to be that honesty is essential in any relationship, and a lack of it can lead to the destruction of trust and the dissolution of the relationship.

Tried to find the lyrics to this song "Lies"...couldn't find it. Scratched my head and wondered, "Why would a 5-star song be this hard to find?" Found out this is a new group and a 5+ star group.Screw you internet for filtering the 5+ groups!!!!
