Another Lie Lyrics
She's a rumor in the night
It's crazy
You can see her but she isn't there
She's the stealer of the light
It's crazy
But you go anywhere
It was just a summer night
Maybe
When a shiver cut across the air
Should you run and get away
Maybe
To go where-where-where
She crouches the hunter
Ready to tell you
Another lie
Another lie
You could see the side of someday
Feel the power of the young and strong
You were learning how to fly someway
You were wrong-wrong-wrong
She jumped at the moment
A chance to tell you
Another lie
It was just a summer night
Maybe
When a shiver cut across the air
Should you run and get away
Maybe
To go where-where-where
She jumps at the moment
She crouches the hunter yeah
You look and you know she's telling you
Another lie
Another lie
Why it's crazy
When you feel you're getting stronger
Why it's crazy
All the lies are getting longer
Another lie
Another lie
It's crazy
You can see her but she isn't there
It's crazy
But you go anywhere
Maybe
When a shiver cut across the air
Should you run and get away
Maybe
To go where-where-where
Ready to tell you
Another lie
Feel the power of the young and strong
You were learning how to fly someway
You were wrong-wrong-wrong
A chance to tell you
Another lie
Maybe
When a shiver cut across the air
Maybe
To go where-where-where
She crouches the hunter yeah
You look and you know she's telling you
Another lie
When you feel you're getting stronger
Why it's crazy
All the lies are getting longer
Another lie

"she" is the system. the system that makes you go to school, tells you that you must get a job and have money to achieve happiness. she is the lies that drown a person from birth. the chill in the air is that moment when you realise this and question your sanity. she tells you your wrong wrong wrong. this song is about that insecure moment that alot of people will soon have to face
I find that analysis interesting enochatron. I really like how he illustrates uncertainity with the repeated use of "maybe".
"It was just a summer night, maybe"
Was it just a summer night? Summer means of course warmth, happiness, good memories etc. But was it really a summer night this happened?
"When a shiver cut across the air"
Now you realise this uncertainity, something is wrong, this can't be another summer night.
"Should you run and get away? maybe... to the where-where-where"
I think maybe means you think you can but you can't. You think it was a summer night, and even when the shiver is sent across the air your think you can run, but where? Truth is, there is nowhere to run. I don't think this song is particularly about the "system". I think it is about power and control in general. Towards the end is the most interesting part for that analysis:
"Why it's crazy, when you feel you're getting stronger, why it's crazy, All the lies are getting longer"
Now you realise, you are getting stronger, YOU are getting power and control. Oh but all of your lies they just keep on getting longer... You are system now, you spread the lies that contaminate our world. Maybe.
Beef.
