The Liar
Trouble Over Tokyo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wooh It's been a long time since i wrote anything down
my ambition - it took over
And I looked at others to put things right.

Wooh I can't belive that after all the progress i made...
I fell deeper in the coma
But I think I'm starting to take some breath!
But every time that i wake - It's like I only wake into a dream
And everything that I break - reforms itself, it reforms itself, it reforms itself,
Everything that i lose - gets found again and dust itself off clean
And every time that i choose - I forget again. I forget again. I forget again.

Wooh Have I been lying all this time to keep myself stuck?
I've been nowhere. I've done nothing. I've been talking to myself for so long...
Wooh And is my music only a way for me to ignore...

that my freedom-
Is my wisdom.
Is my movement.
Is my Kingdom.
And my Kingdom.
Is dependent.
On a Treason.

So RESPLENDENT

That it lights up
Every corner. Every Liar. Every Mourner.
Every Cancer. Every Injured. Every Killer.
Every Hinderd.

Every Believer.
Every Denier.
Every Consumer.
Every Buyer.

But every time that i wake - It's like I only wake into a dream
And everything that I break - reforms itself, it reforms itself, it reforms itself,




Everything that i lose - gets found again and dust itself off clean
And every time that i choose - I forget again. I forget again. I forget again.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Trouble Over Tokyo's song The Liar touch on themes of self-awareness, progress, and the limitations of personal growth. The opening lines express the frustration of feeling stuck in a cycle of ambition and reliance on others to fix things. The following lines speak to a sense of regression after making progress, yet with a glimmer of hope for change.


The chorus highlights the cyclical nature of life and the tendency to forget important lessons. Each time the singer wakes up, everything is like a dream and they repeat the same mistakes. The singer seems to question whether they have been lying to themselves to remain stagnant and whether their music serves as a distraction from their lack of freedom.


The final stanza speaks to the idea of personal greatness being dependent on betrayal. The word "Resplendent" appears to be a reference to the concept of "illuminati," suggesting that the singer recognizes the power structures at play in their pursuit of greatness. The last few lines of the song seem to suggest that there is a potential for growth and enlightenment for all, regardless of their beliefs or past.
