Lies
T.I. Ft. Justin Timberlake/Butch Clancy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And don't even stop to wonder
What it's like on the other side
When the demons keep pulling you under
The needle prick in your skin
The smoke that's filling your lungs
Inhaling deep on that poison
Believing the lies from the silver tongue
Saying you won't lose control
Beautiful lies
Not seeing the life that they stole
You're blind to the misery
That's erasing your history
Beautiful lies
Don't believe everything you're told
You log in and tally those likes
And discover how you feel
Weighing the worth of your life
On somebody else's highlight reel
You hold your world in your hands
Your status under your thumb
Swimming in a sea of acceptance
But you've never felt so numb
Beautiful lies
Saying you won't lose control
Beautiful lies
Not seeing the life that they stole
You're blind to the misery
That's erasing your history
Beautiful lies
Don't believe everything you're told
Beautiful lies...
The lyrics to T.I. Ft. Justin Timberlake/Butch Clancy's song "Lies" convey a message of taking control of your life and not succumbing to the negative influences around you. The opening lines, "We want you to make it, you're given the life, and you choose to take it," emphasize the idea that we have the power to create our own destinies. However, the next line, "Open the door, the snakes made it in, make love to the snake," warns against being too trusting and allowing toxic people into our lives.
The reference to "the skin keeps you warm" suggests that sometimes we hold onto harmful relationships or situations because they provide a false sense of comfort. The following lines, "It's the things you don't know, the power to grow, I give in," encourage listeners to embrace uncertainty and use it as an opportunity for personal growth. The repetition of "don't give in" further emphasizes the importance of perseverance and staying true to oneself.
The chorus, "If you're staying alive, it's hard to survive when you're feeling dead, there's nothing to be said, but I know the long road and you're gonna take it," acknowledges the struggles of life but also emphasizes the resilience and determination needed to overcome them. Overall, the lyrics to "Lies" offer a powerful, inspiring message of self-reliance and strength.
