So He Begins To Lie Lyrics

The camera's watching,
He takes a breath,
Even though that they know,
That he knows,
That they're on to him,
He don't break a sweat - no.

It grows and grows and grows,
Inside of him,
There's nothing there,
All along he knows,
Those mirrors started to lie to him,
His reflection faded.

The crowd are waiting,
He takes the stage,
Cross his heart,
Hand on heart,
Open heart,
That he's gone legit,
He was never there - no.

As easy as closing his eyes,
So he begins to lie.

The camera's watching,
The camera's watching him lie.

i believe that this song is about a man struggling under the pressure of the jeremy kyle show, taking a lie detector test to prove his fidelity but of course he is a cheating scumbag and lies about it, on stage, in front of the thousands of unemployed people who sit watching the jeremy kyle show instead of working.

To me, this is a song about politicians, or spokesmen in general. However much they may wish to not be corrupt, "it grows and grows and grows" and they end up lying to the cameras.

My Interpretation

For some reason I always thought this song was about Kele himself, as he is notorious for simply making things up during interviews
