Lived a Lie
You Me at Six Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I would be a dreamer for life
Somebody told me I would never reach the other side
Well you say I'm old news, but cross your fingers
I’m yours to lose.
What if I told you, that things will never improve
And if I lived a lie
So I can burn up bright,
(So I can burn, so I can burn)
The grass is always greener,
Someone else's past is always cleaner,
But I'm a believer, that there's a fool in all of us
And if I lived a lie
Would someone meet me on the other side
So I can burn up bright
Oh, I don't really know where our ghosts go
No, I don't really know where Our ghosts go
So live a lie just tonight, tonight
We are believers, we are believers
We are believers, we are believers
We are believers, we are believers
We are believers, we are believers
We are believers, we are believers
We are believers, we are believers
We are believers, we are believers
We are, we are.
If I lived a lie
Would someone meet me on the other side
So I can burn up bright
And if I lived a lie
Would someone meet me on the other side
So I can burn up bright
Oh, I don't really know where our ghosts go
No, I don't really know where our ghosts go,
So live a lie just tonight, tonight
And burn up bright.
The lyrics "Well somebody told me, That I would be a dreamer for life, Somebody told me I would never reach the other side" suggest that the singer has been told that they will never achieve their dreams or accomplish something they truly desire. However, they refuse to give up and believe that they still have a chance to succeed. The line "What if I told you that things will never improve" is a sarcastic response to those who doubt the singer's abilities or hope for the future. The chorus "And if I lived a lie, Would someone meet me on the other side, So I can burn up bright" implies that the singer is willing to take risks and live a life that isn't necessarily truthful or authentic in order to achieve their dreams. They hope that, regardless of the choices they make, they will be remembered and celebrated for their passion and drive. The bridge "The grass is always greener, Someone else's past is always cleaner, But I'm a believer, that there's a fool in all of us" speaks to the universal experience of comparison and envy. The singer acknowledges that it's easy to look at someone else's life and think it's better or easier, but they still have faith in themselves and their ability to overcome challenges.
Overall, "Lived A Lie" is a song about determination, risk-taking, and perseverance in the face of doubt and criticism. It encourages listeners to pursue their dreams and not be afraid of failure or making mistakes.

I still do not know where souls go, so let me live a deceitful life tonight and burn brightly.
