Spread Legs Not Lies
The Blackout Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm hiding from you
And all your lies
Are coming true
The tales have now begun
I'm lying to you
And your serpents tongue
Close your eyes and swallow
Time is on your side
I will make you feel so hollow
Time is on your side
So lay down for me
Time is on your side
And feel so hollow
I now see your disguise
I'm hiding from you
And all your lies
Are coming true
The tales have now begun
I'm lying to you
And your serpents tongue
Is killing you
Everybody knows that you're a liar
It is time to fight with fire
Get down
I'm telling the truth
Time is on your side
Time is on your side
Time is on your side
Time is on your side
Time is on your side
Time is on your side
Time is on your side
Time is on your side
The lyrics to The Blackout's song Spread Legs Not Lies suggest a lack of trust and a hidden agenda in a relationship. The opening line "I now see your disguise" implies that the singer has caught onto the true nature of their partner and has started to hide from them. The following lines "And all your lies are coming true" suggest that the partner's deceitful behavior is becoming apparent.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of time being on the partner's side as they manipulate the situation to their advantage. The line "I will make you feel so hollow" adds to the sense of vulnerability that the singer is experiencing. The repeated line "Time is on your side" suggests that their partner has the upper hand and is using time to their advantage in a calculated manner.
The second verse reinforces the theme of deception and betrayal. The line "Your serpents tongue is coming through" emphasizes the idea of the partner being manipulative and untrustworthy. The closing lines of the song "Everybody knows that you're a liar, it is time to fight with fire" suggest a call to action and a need to confront the deceitful partner.
