Lie To Me
Steve Aoki Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

You used to like me touching you
You used to feel the sparks
I used to make you love with madness
I used to have your heart
You used to keep your hand in the small of my back

I used to make you glow
We used to become one like magnets
And now you gonna go, oh

And I don't wanna know, ah
Baby can we turn back the time?
Turn the clocks to when you were mine
If you don't wanna stay
If there's no other way
Then baby lie to me

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Then baby lie to me
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie

I don't know what you want from me
But you can have it all
I promise to be all you're after
Just don't walk out the door
So look me in the eyes, let me show you my truth
I promise not to cry
No, don't get down to tie your laces
Don't say what's on your mind, oh no

'Cause I don't wanna know, oh
Baby can we turn back the time?
Turn the clocks to when you were mine
If you don't wanna stay
If there's no other way
Then baby lie to me

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Then baby lie to me
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Baby lie to me
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Then baby lie to me, oh no
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Maybe we could just realign
I'll be good, I promise this time
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
If you don't wanna stay

If there's no other way
Then baby lie to me

Overall Meaning

The song "Lie to Me" by Steve Aoki featuring Ina Wroldsen is a plea from one person to another to save their relationship even if it means lying. The song talks about how their relationship has changed and how they used to be so close, and how it's painful to see it slowly falling apart. They reminisce on the good times and wonder if they could ever get back to how things used to be. The chorus is a plea to the other person to lie to them and pretend that everything is okay even if it's not.

The verses of the song express a deep sense of loss and heartbreak. The lyrics describe how the two used to be very in love and how they used to be completely in sync, moving like "magnets." Now, however, the other person is pulling away and leaving, and the singer doesn't know why. The chorus of the song is a desperate attempt to save the relationship, begging the other person to lie to them and pretend that everything is okay even if it's not. They want to go back to the good times, and even if it means pretending, it's better than nothing at all.

Overall, the song is a complex portrayal of the pain of togetherness turning into loneliness, and the lengths that people will go to maintain an illusion of love, even if they know deep down that it won't last long. The song encourages listeners to reflect on their own relationships and the lengths they would go to keep them alive.
