No More Lies
T & T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a darkened sky before me
There's no time to prepare
Salvage a last horizon
But no regrets from me

Maybe I'll be back some other day
To live again just who can say
In what shape or form that I might be
Just another chance for me

A hurried time no disgrace
Instead of racing to conclusion
And wishing all my life away
No-one can stop me now

Time is up it couldn't last
But there's more things I'd like to do
I'm coming back to try again
Someday maybe I'll wait till then

No more lies

They're all sitting at my table
Talking tall and drinking wine
Their time is up just like me
But they just don't know it yet

So just a word of warning
When you're in your deepest dreams
There's nothing you can hide from
I've got my eye on you

The clock is fast, the hour is near
Eventful past is ever clear
My life is set, the time is here
I think I'm coming home

No more lies

A hurried time, no disgrace
Instead of racing to conclusions
And wishing all your life away
No-one can stop me now

Time is up it couldn't last
But there's more things I have to do
I'm coming back to try again
Don't tell me that this is the end





No more lies

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to T&T's "No More Lies" speak of embracing one's mortality while still maintaining a sense of hope and determination for the future. The singer acknowledges that their time is up, but they do not regret their past actions, and they intend to return in some way or another. They urge others to be aware that they cannot hide from their deepest dreams, suggesting that one's subconscious desires are a key factor in shaping their life path. The song emphasizes the importance of living without regret, taking charge of one's own life, and continuing to strive for a fulfilling existence.


The lyrics of the song may have been inspired by personal experiences of the band members, as well as societal and cultural trends of the time. The late 80s and early 90s were a period of changing attitudes towards mortality, with the onset of the AIDS epidemic and high-profile celebrity deaths prompting greater public awareness of mortality and the importance of living in the present. Additionally, the song's themes of seizing control and living fully may have been a reflection of the cultural shift towards individualism and self-actualization that was gaining momentum at the time.

LYRICS:

I’m sorry, girl
Didn’t mean to drag you in my dreams
Baby, no more lies
Feeling free
That’s the way it’s supposed to be
For you and me
You and I both know it’s harder than it seems
Love is a two-way street
I’m letting go because the both of us don’t need to drive
Baby, it’s one at a time

That’s just the way it works
Or you and I keep getting hurt
We’re going to lose control of the wheel
So put your seatbelt on
I think we’re about to crash
In a world of pain
There’s so much work to do
So much to unpack
But it’s not your fault
I’m just kind of ass

It’s looking like I won’t be home for another year
Long left undone
‘Cause I might just drift on out of here
On the run
I’ll just be on my own
I’ll just be home alone
My troubles are my own

Unless she wants to come back

I’ll just be on my own
I’m dancing on my own
I’ll just stay on my own

Unless she wants to come back
Yeah, yeah

As you go out in the world
Don’t look back to move forward, there’s no time
In our lives
As you know
There’s something wrong in your mind (In your mind)
If you think there’s no pain in my heart
To say goodbye
Please don’t cry
I’m letting go

I’ll just be on my own
I’ll just stay home alone
My troubles are my own

Unless she wants to come back

I’ll just be on my own
I’m dancing on my own
I’ll just stay on my own

Unless she wants to come back
Yeah, yeah

I mean, my longest relationship was like 7 years
And she, she was fine
But I need to know what I’m doin’ between one to two years with you
Either way it goes
My therapist told me that I should tell you the truth
But you’re still angry
So sometimes I still feel like I should have lied
I tell you the truth because I care
But I also lie to you because I care
But if I tell you the truth I guess I can sleep better at night?
But then, it looks like I don’t care because I’m telling you the truth
I mean
I guess I’m just not a
Everybody hates when they get to that part when they realise that
I don’t wanna tell you I don’t care but if it seems like I don’t care
It doesn’t mean I don’t care
It just looks like I don’t care
Because my emotions have been sanded off
I live in LA, sweetie, what do you expect?

Thundercat and Tame Impala in one track is insane!! 🔥

@MassiveFish-hp4pm

The fusion of Thundercat and Tame Impala's dreamy psychedelic soundscapes is just perfect. I've been listening to this non stop the past couple hours. You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like this sound

@stenwald

Geeez lel

@sammyismuff
