Lying Has To Stop
Soft Hair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You lie, you'll never ever change
And say bye, bye
You should turn back now
You're only crying just because
There's no return now
And all this lying has to stop
I'll never coincide if the chemistry is right
Oh babe do you see the light of day
I like to watch you run
But I'll never touch your bum
Oh babe do you see the light of day
You should turn back now
You only crying just because
There is no return now
Well, all this lying has to stop
Lying has to stop
Lying has to stop
If I told you
Lying has to stop
You know it
All this lying has to stop
The lyrics to Soft Hair's song "Lying Has To Stop" convey a message of frustration and disappointment towards someone who is dishonest and unwilling to change their ways. The opening lines of the song, "You'll find there's never any time for babes and wine, You lie, you'll never ever change, And say bye, bye," imply that the person being addressed is preoccupied with other things and is also deceitful. The chorus repeats the phrase "all this lying has to stop," emphasizing the main theme of the song.
The second verse explores the dynamic between the two people, suggesting that while there may be chemistry between them, they are ultimately incompatible due to the other person's propensity for dishonesty. The line "I'll never coincide if the chemistry is right, Oh babe do you see the light of day" implies that while the singer may be attracted to the other person, they cannot connect with them on a deeper level due to their lies. The reference to "watch[ing] you run" but never "touch[ing] your bum" further emphasizes this idea of distance and incompatibility.
Overall, "Lying Has To Stop" is a song about the frustrating and ultimately unproductive nature of dishonesty. The repeated chorus of "lying has to stop" implies that the person being addressed needs to change their ways in order for the relationship to move forward. However, the second verse suggests that this change is unlikely to happen, as the two people are simply incompatible due to their differing values and levels of honesty.

It's been six years and this is still my favorite video - and one of my favorite tunes - of all times. No one I personally know shares my enthusiasm (poor sods...), but it feels good knowing that somewhere 3,632,180 people do. Bless you all.
