Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My beautiful liar
Why are you crying
On your knees
You've crucified yourself
And now denial is rising
Why
So tell me
So tell me how did you lose yourself at sea
Drifting within
So tell me why did you cast yourself away
It's such a sweet addiction
You should celebrate

My beautiful liar
You are drowning
In your fear
You're cutting into me
You think if I bleed
It can save you
Why
So tell me

So tell me how did you lose yourself at sea
Drifting within
So tell me why did you cast yourself away
It's such a sweet addiction
You should celebrate

And you know if I could




I'd take your pain
But will you turn and face your disease?

Overall Meaning

In this moment's song "Lost At Sea" explores themes of self-destruction, addiction, and the intense need for love and validation. The opening lines โ€œMy beautiful liar, Why are you crying, On your knees, Youโ€™ve crucified yourselfโ€ seem to address someone who is in pain, but the use of the word โ€œliarโ€ suggests that this person has been deceitful in some way. The second verse continues with โ€œMy beautiful liar, You are drowning, In your fear, Youโ€™re cutting into meโ€ indicating that the person's fear and self-destructive behavior is affecting those around them. The chorus asks the question โ€œSo tell me how did you lose yourself at sea, Drifting within, So tell me why did you cast yourself away, Itโ€™s such a sweet addiction, You should celebrateโ€ which could be interpreted as a plea to understand how the person got to this state of mind, and perhaps also an acknowledgement that addiction can feel empowering and alluring.


The final lines, โ€œAnd you know if I could, Iโ€™d take your pain, But will you turn and face your disease?โ€ demonstrate a desire to help the person, but also suggest that the person themselves needs to take responsibility for their own healing. Overall, the song appears to be about a complicated relationship, where one person is struggling with addiction and self-destructive behavior while the other person is trying to understand and help them.
