Vanilla Ninja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So far from despondency
But you found a thousand ways
To shadow up my face
Your kisses turned from hot to cold
And I felt - like a centerfold
Cheap 'n' nasty - with dirty men
Sitting in the dark just feeling low
I'm ruined to the heart - I'm on the road
To nowhere - to nowhere
If you wanna lie to me again
There is a rotten place they call the end
Just go there - and stay there
Liar
Oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh
Liar
Oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh
You took a quick escape
But left your lies in perfect shape
As long as my mem'ries live
I never will - forgive you
So if we meet - somewhere tonight
You'd better - be set to fight
In the darkness - of missing stars
You won't see me
But you'll feel me inside
Sitting in the dark just feeling low
I'm ruined to the heart - I'm on the road
To nowhere - to nowhere
If you wanna lie to me again
There is a rotten place they call the end
Just go there - and stay there
Liar
Oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh
Liar
Oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh
The winds of change - blow through my soul
And the warlords try to take control
I will never rely on you
And the pain will hit you sham on you
Sitting in the dark just feeling low
I'm ruined to the heart - I'm on the road
To nowhere - to nowhere
If you wanna lie to me again
There is a rotten place they call the end
Just go there - and stay there
Liar
Oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh
Liar
Oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh - oh oh oh oh
Liar
The song "Liar" by Vanilla Ninja follows the story of a relationship that has fallen apart due to lies and deceit. The singer feels betrayed by their partner and left with a ruined heart, feeling as though they are on the road to nowhere. They try to escape the pain of the situation, but their memories of the lies are still with them and they cannot forgive their partner. The lyrics speak to the feelings of hurt, anger, and betrayal that can arise from disloyalty in a relationship.
The imagery of the lyrics paints a picture of darkness and despair, as the singer sits in the dark feeling low and wishing for their partner to leave. The use of metaphors, such as feeling like a centerfold and being on the road to nowhere, adds depth and complexity to the emotions being expressed. The chorus is repetitive but impactful, with the word "liar" being shouted in a powerful and emotive way.
Line by Line Meaning
We found a place to be
We thought we were in a good place in our relationship
So far from despondency
Far from feeling hopeless
But you found a thousand ways
But you found many ways
To shadow up my face
To make me feel bad about myself
Your kisses turned from hot to cold
Your affection turned from warmth to indifference
And I felt - like a centerfold
And I felt objectified and disrespected
Cheap 'n' nasty - with dirty men
Feeling low and powerless around people who don't care about me
Lookin' for love that they never will get
Trying to find love in all the wrong places
Sitting in the dark just feeling low
Feeling sad and isolated
I'm ruined to the heart - I'm on the road
Feeling deeply hurt and lost
To nowhere - to nowhere
Feeling directionless
If you wanna lie to me again
If you want to deceive me again
There is a rotten place they call the end
Our relationship will come to a bad end if you continue to lie
Just go there - and stay there
Just leave and don't come back
Liar
You're a liar
You took a quick escape
You left quickly
But left your lies in perfect shape
But left your deceptions intact
As long as my mem'ries live
As long as I remember
I never will - forgive you
I will never forgive you
So if we meet - somewhere tonight
So if we happen to meet tonight
You'd better - be set to fight
You better be prepared to fight
In the darkness - of missing stars
In the absence of light and guidance
You won't see me
You won't physically see me
But you'll feel me inside
But you'll feel the impact of what you've done
The winds of change - blow through my soul
I am going through a time of change and growth
And the warlords try to take control
Negative forces are trying to control me
I will never rely on you
I will never trust or depend on you
And the pain will hit you sham on you
And you will feel the pain you caused me
Liar
You're a liar

As an adult u know that there will be hearts broken.
...so what can u do?
Be neutral and try to explain that this is life and u should get used to that?
F*uck that! U play this song and scream "LIAR" with her/him!
That's parenthood.
Well that only get her/him so far...
...but she/he will learn...
As we all know...the first time is the hardest
In my opinion u did the only right thing.
With the f*ucking right song! HELL YEA!

I've started listening to V.N. at my earliest -teens. About 20 years later it's still my favourite band by a long shot. 👌

When my daughter came to me feeling lovesick for the first time, because her partner was - well a Liar - to cheer her up I played this song to her, sang it with her and of course screamed Liar - for my daughter this was a quite helpful song for those kind of feelings. Now she's a Vanilla Ninja fan just as I am and 'Liar' among her favorite songs, because the world looks a bit brighter and lighter after screaming out all the stress and sometimes pain

Music is a great vent to let out emotions...I remember yelling with them in this song too after I got seriously betrayed by a friend...It is such a big relief...
