the boy and the tele Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been told the same lies
And you don't care
I just want you to be mine
And life ain't fair
And life ain't fair
Making life like a movie
Yeah I hope this shit get dangerous
Get it popping off with action
Yeah you know we making bangers
Said ya never switch up, you can't remember cause I'm famous
Now I had a glow up, I'm in the 'Rari switching lanes quick
Its the last night drinking with you, had to have the top down
Last night fucking with you, heard that you an opp now
Every time I want you, I be going through emotions
Don't need all the drama, catch me chillin by the ocean
It's the same lie
Same one that you said about three times
Can't trust you
I can't really fuck witchu
All the love we had, ain't really mean nun to you
In a new Benz, switchin up with new friends
Got a lot of enemies, don't know what to do with them
Screw them, only thing I need is my tool man
Got my head crazy, feelin like I'm off two xans
Making life like a movie
Yeah I hope this shit get dangerous
Get it popping off with action
Yeah you know we making bangers
Said ya never switch up, you can't remember cause I'm famous
Now I had a glow up, I'm in the 'Rari switching lanes quick
Its the last night drinking with you, had to have the top down
Last night fucking with you, heard that you an opp now




Everytime I want you, I be going through emotions
Don't need all the drama, catch me chillin by the ocean

Overall Meaning

The song "Lies" by The Boy and the Tele's is a bold and empowering anthem that conveys the singer's strong resolve to stand up against the deceitful actions of a former lover. The repeated line "All those lies you used to tell me" emphasizes the theme of deception, and the confident tone of the lyrics suggests that the singer has moved past the pain and betrayal of their relationship. The line "Do you think that I care? Do I look in despair?" shows that the singer is resilient and unaffected by their former lover's attempts to manipulate them.


The lyrics also suggest that the singer has gained clarity about their situation and is no longer willing to tolerate being lied to. The line "I've been around far too long" implies that the singer has the experience and wisdom to recognize when someone is not being truthful. Additionally, the line "But you got it oh so wrong" suggests that the former lover underestimated the singer's intelligence and ability to see through their lies. This defiance is further emphasized in the chorus when the singer says "I have no feelings for you, so what are you gonna do?", demonstrating that they have moved on and are not afraid to stand up for themselves.


Line by Line Meaning

Miss me, miss me, miss me, miss me
I don't miss you, don't miss you, don't miss you, don't miss you


All those lies
I know all the lies you've told


All those lies you used to tell me
You used to tell me all those lies


Do you think that I care?
I don't care, do you really think I do?


Do I look in despair?
I don't look sad or upset about it


Were you going to say
Were you going to tell me


what you were doing today?
About what you were doing today?


'cause if you think that I mind
Because if you think I'm bothered


then you're going to find
You'll realize


I have no feelings for you
I don't have feelings for you anymore


so what are you gonna do?
What are you going to do about it?


You thought you were smart
You thought you could fool me


that you got a hold of my heart
That you had my heart under control


But you got it oh so wrong
But you were completely mistaken about that


I've been around far too long
I'm not easily fooled, I've been around a long time


And did you really believe
And did you honestly think


that I had no idea?
That I had no clue what was going on?


You told me all these lies
You lied to me so many times


that I knew all along
But I knew the truth the entire time

My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
They should've worshipped her sooner
If the heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
We were born sick
You heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom"
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick
But I love it
Command me to be well
A-a-a-a-a-a-a, amen, amen, amen
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Oh good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Oh good God, let me give you my life
If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
Drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Oh good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Oh good God, let me give you my life
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then, I am human
Only then, I am clean
Oh, oh, amen, amen, amen
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Oh good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Oh good God, let me give you my life

It's not even about sexuality. Here is a direct quote so stop saying what you think it's about without researching.

Lyrically the song is one large metaphor comparing a lover to religion.

"Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life."

Speaking with The Irish Times, Hozier said about matters of the heart: "I found the experience of falling in love or being in love was a death, a death of everything. You kind of watch yourself die in a wonderful way, and you experience for the briefest moment – if you see yourself for a moment through their eyes – everything you believed about yourself gone. In a death-and-rebirth sense."

@pearltears8039

Jesus says to love everyone as your self and not to judge one another....
for God is Judge.....

if you say this song isnt Christian.....then that means you agree with the video and the Violent things they did to the guy?

ROMANS 14:10-23
10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you also look down on your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God;

11 for it is written: “‘As I live,’ says Jehovah,* ‘to me every knee will bend down, and every tongue will make open acknowledgment to God.’”
12 So, then, each of us will render an account for himself to God.*

13 Therefore let us not be judging+ one another any longer, but rather make this YOUR decision, not to put before a brother a stumbling block or a cause for tripping.

14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is defiled in itself; only where a man considers something to be defiled, to him it is defiled.

15 For if because of food your brother is being grieved, you are no longer walking in accord with love. Do not by your food ruin that one for whom Christ died.
16 Do not, therefore, let the good YOU people do be spoken of with injury to YOU.
17 For the kingdom of God does not mean* eating and drinking, but [means]* righteousness and peace and joy with holy spirit.
18 For he who in this regard slaves for Christ is acceptable to God and has approval with men.
19 So, then, let us pursue the things making for peace and the things that are upbuilding to one another.
20 Stop tearing down the work of God just for the sake of food. True, all things are clean, but it is injurious to the man who with an occasion for stumbling eats.
21 It is well not to eat flesh or to drink wine or do anything over which your brother stumbles.
22 The faith that you have, have it in accord with yourself in the sight of God. Happy is the man that does not put himself on judgment by what he approves.
23 But if he has doubts, he is already condemned if he eats, because [he does] not [eat] out of faith. Indeed, everything that is not out of faith is sin.

I go to a catholic school and in religion we had to pick a song that had a deep meaning (other then love songs) one of the girls picked this song and you should’ve seen how triggered the teacher got

@dylanoliver4861

Aya’s Piano damn you should find a different catholic school lol, i went to one for one year and everyone was so gay and all the nuns knew it and loved everyone

@skaterboi_0542

That girl is literally me

@MomijiHyuga804

How did they react?

@Aya_Raad405

MomijiHyuga804 she airplanes the lyrics on the screen and once it got to the chorus she was like “hang on, I don’t understand this part.” Then the girl was like, it’s ok we’ll explain it at the end.” She told us to stop air playing before the song ended and then we had this whole debate about it putting out the wrong ideas on Catholics. And some girl was like “yeah, but half the people don’t even care about what the song is about, if it’s a good song then it doesn’t really matter.” Then the bell went.
