liar
soap! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never getting what you want
Sick of getting what you give
Try all you want to bury it
Can’t get away from what you did
Empty mind plastic heart
Going down like a stack of cards
Throw it up and walk away
Sick of all the games you play

Won’t you smile for me
Try to be
Something else instead
Won’t you die for me
Cry for me
The truth dies in your head

In the dark I’ll find you once again
My filthy little liar
Eat your heart I know what’s in your head
Bullets could be brighter
Blood drips you know that you’re not dead
Step into the fire
My filthy little liar

The truth is dead until it speaks
Who said strength is never weak
Split your tongue and poison veins
Liars go by different names
Nothing is ever as it seems
Lines are blurred another scene
Strip the paint and see the cracks
Seen too much there’s no turning back

Won’t you smile for me
Try to be
Something else instead
Won’t you die for me
Cry for me
The truth dies in your head

In the dark I’ll find you once again
My filthy little liar
Eat your heart I know what’s in your head
Bullets could be brighter
Blood drips you know that you’re not dead
Step into the fire
My filthy little liar
My filthy little liar

I feel insane
Trapped in a cage
Crying in vain
Liar in hell
Try to escape
Take the blame
Down on your knees
Begging me
Tainted by rage
Dandy mistake
Digging your grave
Now it's late

In the dark I’ll find you once again
My filthy little liar
Eat your heart I know what’s in your head
Bullets could be brighter
Blood drips you know that you’re not dead
Step into the fire




My filthy little
My filthy little

Overall Meaning

The song "Liar" by soap! is an emotionally-charged piece that delves into the themes of betrayal, lies, and revenge. The lyrics convey a message of frustration towards someone who has consistently deceived and hurt the singer, making them feel trapped and helpless. The opening lines suggest that the person has not been able to achieve what they desire and is tired of receiving the same negative outcomes. They try to bury their past, but the consequences of their actions seem to follow them wherever they go, like a stack of cards that is about to crumble.


The chorus of the song emphasizes how the truth dies in the liar's head, and the singer wishes for them to reveal their real self. The phrase "filthy little liar" is repeated several times, possibly to express the singer's disgust towards the person. The second verse highlights the devastating effects of deception; it mentions how liars go by different names and how nothing is ever as it seems. The bridge section (I feel insane/Trapped in a cage/Crying in vain) implies that the singer feels mentally trapped and exhausted, which is a common effect of long-term deception.


The song's music is dark and intense, matching the lyrics' mood, with the prominent use of distorted guitars, bass, and drums. The song's title and lyrics are a reference to the act of lying, and the message is relatable to anyone who has experienced deception in their life. The anger and frustration evident in the song could be a cathartic release for anyone who feels helpless and betrayed.
