| Mumford & Sons – Liar Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
The opening line "I know that things are broken". This to me, means he desperately in love with the girl. He is hanging on blindly to what he thinks of as love despite knowing its not right. We can tell that she has cheated or betrayed him in some way from the lyric "and all the while I relied on this honesty". She knows that he loves her and teased him by leaning in for her last kiss. He cannot resist because he is so in love with her. I love the subtle metaphor "cold hands". She is cold and heartless. This song reminds me of a time when I felt the exact same way. Her crying and wanting me back and not being able to resist and giving in cowardly. The feeling was all to familiar for those months it took to break up. |
