Liar
The Niro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
where all days are ok
Tuesday, Friday and Saturday
You can wash your
sense with the rain water
When you're in Nowhere
you're your own best friend
you need nothin' else
Scream!
Liar (x 4)
Scream!
Liar (x 4)
Scream!
Liar (x 4) and
Breathe
Welcome to Nowhere
you talk to yourself
when you're in Nowhere
you need nothin' else
Scream!
Liar (x 4)
Scream!
Liar (x 4)
Scream!
Scream!
Scream!
The Niro's song "Liar" seems to be an ode to the somewhat freeing feeling of being in Nowhere, a place where everyday is "OK" and time blends together with no discernible difference between Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. The lyrics paint the picture of a solitary existence where the singer is content to simply wash their senses clean with the rainwater and talk to themselves. There's a hint of rebellion as they scream out the word "liar" repeatedly, as if defying someone trying to control or manipulate them. However, the end of the song suggests that perhaps this wild abandon and lack of social conformity ultimately leads to a need for release through a series of more intense screams.
Overall, the lyrics seem to convey a sense of isolation, but also of empowerment in being able to find contentment within oneself. The repetition of the word "liar" adds a questioning quality to the narrative - what is it that the singer is defying or rejecting? Perhaps it's societal expectations or stereotypes of what a happy and successful life should look like, or perhaps it's a personal struggle with honesty and authenticity. Either way, the song seems to provide a release for these emotions through the raw, passionate vocals and sparse instrumentation.
Line by Line Meaning
Welcome to Nowhere
The start of a journey into a place devoid of meaning or purpose.
where all days are ok
A place where everything is dull and insignificant.
Tuesday, Friday and Saturday
Days that are reduced to mere labels as they hold no significance in Nowhere.
You can wash your
sense with the rain water
In Nowhere, cleansing oneself is merely a physical action with no real effect on the mind or soul.
When you're in Nowhere
you talk to yourself
you're your own best friend
you need nothin' else
In Nowhere, isolation is the norm and self-reliance is a necessity. One has no choice but to become their own companion.
Scream!
Liar (x 4)
Scream!
Liar (x 4)
Scream!
Liar (x 4) and
Breathe
The act of screaming “Liar” over and over again represents the frustration and loss of trust in oneself and one's surroundings. The exhale represents a release of this tension.
Welcome to Nowhere
you talk to yourself
when you're in Nowhere
you need nothin' else
The repetition of these lyrics reinforces the emptiness and desolation of Nowhere, where talking to oneself becomes the only form of communication and self-sufficiency is a survival tactic.
Scream!
Liar (x 4)
Scream!
Liar (x 4)
Scream!
Scream!
Scream!
The repetition of these lyrics represents an unyielding sense of hopelessness and despair, a cry for help that goes unheard.
