Utopians Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no need to feel this bad
I won't tell anyone
too much shame killing me inside.
Why you act as if you care
you don't need to fool me again
you are so right the fault is mine
I should have never trust you
When you said in a sweet tone
kiss me when you pleased
kill me if you don't believe me
Please don't try to put your arms around me
please don't try to fool around with me
I knew that I was right
When I told you that I was
Nothing more than a break
from your misfortune life
so now that you have found
All you were looking for
you beg me to disappear
an old regret something to tell
I should have never trust you
When you said in a sweet tone
kiss me when you pleased
kill me if you don't believe me
Please don't try to put your arms around me
please don't try to fool around with me
Come on now tell me that
you think of me at least at night
don't tell me that we've tried
I don't need more of your lies
Please don't try to put your arms around me
The song "Lies" by Utopians is about a person who trusted someone they were in a relationship with, only to be let down by them. The lyrics speak about the pain and shame that the singer feels due to the other person's actions. The singer knows that the other person does not truly care about them and is just pretending, which only adds to the hurt. The repetitive plea for the other person to not try to comfort or be intimate with the singer highlights the emotional distance that has come between them.
The singer realizes that they made a mistake in trusting the other person, and the relationship was only a temporary escape from their own troubles, whereas for the other person, it was just a way to pass their time. The other person now wants the singer to disappear, leaving them with nothing but regrets. The singer feels used and manipulated, and the only thing they want at this point is for the other person to admit the truth and stop lying to them.
Overall, "Lies" is a song about the pain of being betrayed by someone you trusted and the need for honesty and genuine feelings in a relationship. The lyrics are raw and emotional and speak to anyone who has been hurt in a similar way.
