Lover's Lie
Veda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

where'd you go
the leaves they move too fast
i was lost looking for your face
did you go to catch the lovers lie
or to move the stars and put them in place
is there ever a dream of mine you haven't heard
i'll keep running ahead of the race
to hope i put a sparkle in your eye
did you know when you move i breathe
i'd take blind destiny over empty space
as my friends slowly fade into ghosts
i hold on tighter, and struggle for demands




i'll keep running ahead of the race
until i put a sparkle in your eye

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Veda's song Lover's Lie portrays a lover's desperation in search of their beloved. The opening lines, "Where'd you go, the leaves they move too fast, I was lost looking for your face," sets the tone of confusion and frustration. The singer feels lost and unable to find their lover, who has presumably gone to catch the "lovers lie" or to rearrange the stars. These lines could suggest that the lover is trying to fix something that has gone wrong in their relationship. The phrase "lovers lie" could represent a deception or illusion that has caused a rift between them, and rearranging the stars could mean an attempt to fix things.


The second stanza talks about the singer's hopes and dreams that their lover hears and understands, and their determination to keep running ahead of the race to make their lover happy. The line, "Did you know when you move, I breathe, I'd take blind destiny over empty space," suggests that the singer feels incomplete without their lover and would rather be blindly led by fate than live without them. The last stanza describes the singer's struggle to hold on to their relationship even as their friends fade into ghosts. They are determined to put a sparkle in their lover's eye and keep running towards them.


Overall, Lover's Lie portrays a strong sense of longing and desperation for love and connection. It speaks to the idea that sometimes in relationships, things may go wrong, but the hope is that love and effort can ultimately fix it.
