The Benelux plays when other bands have already unplugged and ended the night. These club rockers create a danceable sound that is as contagious on record as on stage. As a four member set, the band exists somewhat as an anomaly to the one-man electronica acts on NON Records. But one listen to The Benelux shows they share with their label-mates an affectation for electronic music, cutting guitar rifts between live sampling and distorted synths.

Liar
The Benelux Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I cannot talk i'm on the phone,
you're at the other side of town
you went to bed, she rolls alone
you'll be surprised for all the things that you don't know.

i'm a liar even if i'm true, even if i'm true to you
i'm a liar even if i'm true, even if i'm true to you
i'm a liar even if i'm true, even if i'm true to you
i'm a liar even if i'm true, even if i'm true to you

so lie beside me, lie next to me
your heart is true but you can lie, but you can speak.
can you remind yourself all, everything, that you can do, that you can lie, that you can bring?

i cannot stay, i've to go
i've these dreams which i draw
so before we take the fallen clothes
i must insist there're some things you have to know:

so lie beside me, lie next to me
your heart is true as you can lie, as you can speak.
can you remind yourself all, everything, that you can do, that you can lie, that you can bring?

i cannot stay, i've to go
i've these dreams which i draw
before we take the fallen clothes
i must insist there're some things you have to know

i'm a liar even if i'm true, even if i'm true to you.
i'm a liar even if i'm true, even if i'm true to you
i'm a liar even if i'm true, even if i'm true to you
i'm a liar even if i'm true, even if i'm true to you

so lie beside me, lie next to me
your heart is true as you can lie, as you can speak.

can you remind yourself all, everything, that you can do, that you can lie, that you can bring?
can you remind yourself all, everything, that you can do, that you can lie, that you can bring? sorry.
i cannot stay, i've to go
i've these dreams still, which i draw
before we take the fallen clothes, before we take the fallen clothes, before we take the fallen clothes
i must insist there're some things you have to know

i'm a liar even if i'm true, even if i'm true to you.
i'm a liar even if i'm true, even if i'm true to you
i'm a liar even if i'm true, even if i'm true to you
i'm a liar even if i'm true, even if i'm true to you

so lie beside me, lie next to me
your heart is true but you can lie, but you can speak.




can you remind yourself all, everything, that you can do, that you can lie, that you can bring?
so lie beside me.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Benelux's song "Liar" could be interpreted in a number of ways, depending on how one chooses to approach them. One possible interpretation is that the song is about a person who is being unfaithful in a relationship or who is hiding some other important information from their partner. The line "I'm a liar even if I'm true" suggests that even if the person is telling the truth about some things, there are other things they are not being honest about. The chorus encourages the partner to lie next to them and reminds them that they too have the ability to lie and bring things to the relationship.


The second verse expands on this idea, with the lyric "your heart is true but you can lie, but you can speak" suggesting that even though the partner may have good intentions and be truthful in general, they too have the potential to be dishonest. The repeated line "can you remind yourself all, everything, that you can do, that you can lie, that you can bring?" seems to be asking the partner to reflect on their own behavior and acknowledge that they also have the ability to deceive.


Overall, "Liar" is a complex song that explores themes of honesty and deception in relationships. It suggests that even if someone is telling the truth about some things, there may be other important truths that they are hiding or distorting. The song encourages both partners to reflect on their own behavior and to acknowledge their own capacity for dishonesty.
