Man In Denial
Tenishia feat. Aneym Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lie, deceive, make believe but truth is haunting you
Hide, deny, make me cry, you′ll be the one to lose

My heart misses a beat when you look at me
Intoxicated of love I keep believing you
I keep believing you
I keep believing you

Man in denial so trivial and banal
You slowly become what I hate the most

Man in denial I play with fire
I'm trapped in your lies, blinded by lust

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tenishia feat. Aneym's song "Man In Denial" paint a picture of a tumultuous relationship where one partner is lying and denying the truth, while the other is left feeling hurt and trapped. The opening lines, "Lie, deceive, make believe but truth is haunting you, hide, deny, make me cry, you'll be the one to lose" set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is calling out their partner for their dishonesty, warning them that they will eventually face consequences for their actions.

The chorus of the song expresses the singer's conflicting emotions. They feel a spark of love when they look at their partner but are simultaneously aware that they are being taken advantage of. They are "intoxicated" by their love for this person, but also "trapped in their lies" and "blinded by lust." The bridge of the song introduces the term "man in denial," which is directed towards the partner who is lying and deceiving. The singer notes that this person is becoming "what I hate the most" as they continue to avoid facing the truth.
