Lie To Me
The Poodles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and I, I don't wanna be your prisoner anymore
and tell me, tell me you would die for me
oh make me, I'll belive you'll save me from captivity
I've been waiting, waiting for the day that never comes
I'm still searching for a glimpse of something to hold on
Try, I really wanted you to try
I want you to lie to me
So I can feel alive
I want you to crush me
Say the words I love thee
It's easy when you lie to me
Save me from reality
I want you to lie, lie to me.
Let me carry you far away
From all of this darkness
I wanna hear you speak my name
Your fondle flame is burning inside of me
You're responsible for striping me of all
my pride and dignity
Wicked woman you don't understand
the scars I'm hiding
My heart is like a dagger
deep inside your careless hand
Try, I really wanted you to try
But I'll compromise.
I want you to lie to me
So I can feel alive
I want you to crush me
Say the words I love thee
It's easy when you lie to me
Save me from reality
I want you to lie, lie to me
lie to me.
I'm obsessed, I need to have you night and day
Am I the hunter or am I the pray
Stalking you at night
And I know, I'll end up being your sacrafice.
I want you to lie to me
So I can feel alive
I want you to crush me
Say the words I love thee
It's easy when you lie to me
I've had it with reality
I want you to lie, lie to me.
Tell me, tell me you would die for me.
The lyrics to The Poodles' "Lie To Me" tell a story of a person who is trapped in a painful relationship but cannot let go. The song opens with the singer expressing their desire to no longer feel the pain of the relationship and their wish to no longer be a prisoner to their partner. Despite their pain, they still yearn for their partner to tell them that they would die for them and that they would be saved from their captivity.
As the song continues, the singer admits that they have been waiting for a better day that may never come, and they are still holding onto some hope that their partner will try to make things right. However, they come to a point of compromise and ask their partner to lie to them since it is easier than facing the harsh reality of their situation.
The singer is so obsessed with their partner that they are willing to endure the pain caused by their wickedness. They feel stripped of their pride and dignity and describe their partner as a heartless person who does not understand the scars they are hiding. The second verse ends with the singer accepting that they will compromise despite their desire for their partner to try.
The chorus repeats the singer's plea for their partner to lie to them, so they can feel alive and be saved from reality.

In the end, the singer asks their partner to lie to them for the final time as they are no longer willing to endure the pain of reality.
Overall, "Lie To Me" is a powerful song that describes the painful reality of a failed relationship and the desire to hold onto the illusion of love. It highlights the desperation that comes with being trapped in a toxic relationship and the willingness to compromise to hang on to something that is causing immense harm.
