Lies
Weird naked indian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or are you spinning another game?
Don't know what to believe
Is that your arm or another trick up your sleeve?
So many lies, so many dreams
Can't see the wood for the trees
Killer shake, perfect smile
He'll take from anyone who crosses his eyes
No hooks, no ties
Living in the shadow of your lies
So many lies, so many dreams
Can't see the wood for the trees
So many lies, so many dreams
He's happy when we're on our knees
(So sick of the dreams)
(So sick of the lies)
(So sick of the wool pulled over our eyes)
(So sick of the dreams)
(So sick of the lies)
(Nothing is real it's all in the eyes)
(So sick of the dreams)
(So sick of the lies)
(I'm sick of the lies)
(So sick of the lies)
But he won't stay there
No he won't stay there
So many lies, so many dreams
Can't see the wood for the trees
So many lies, so many dreams
He's happy when we're on our knees
Yeah
The lyrics of Weird Naked Indian's song "Lies" seem to be about someone who is tired of being deceived and manipulated by a person who tells lies and creates false dreams. The opening lines question whether or not the things being said are true or if they are just part of another scheme. The singer is unsure about what to believe and wonders if the person is trying to trick them in some way.
The chorus emphasizes how the lies and false dreams are overwhelming and hard to see past. It feels like the person is constantly being deceived and manipulated. The verses describe the manipulative person as having a killer shake and a perfect smile, but also being willing to take advantage of anyone who crosses his eyes. The person has no real connection or attachment to anyone, and instead lives in the shadow of his own lies.
The bridge emphasizes the singer's frustration over the situation. They are sick of the lies and the dreams that never seem to come true. They feel like they've been deceived and their vision has been clouded by the wool pulled over their eyes.
Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the dangers of being manipulated and deceived by someone who is only in it for their own gain. It highlights how powerful deception can be and how it can make it difficult for people to see the truth.
