You Lied (Peach cover) Lyrics

Setting sun can't shine, now you're gone
Inside sleeping, my heart beating
You know that you tried to hide it
Couldn't you have said what you meant? Oh

Time heals, time congeals around us
Endless hours of wasted moments
Understanding, not demanding
Your eyes tell what you feel inside

Setting sun can't shine, now you're gone
Inside sleeping, my heart beating
You know that you tried to hide it
Shouldn't you have said what you meant?

You lied!

"Setting sun can't shine, now you're gone INSIDE SLEEPING, MY HEART BEATING You know that YOU TRIED TO HIDE IT Shouldn't you have said what you meant?"

I think it is about, being in an intimate relationship, (whether sexual or non-sexual) with someone who knows they are dying, but they didn't tell you they were dying. They said everything was fine. Now, you've become very attached to this person who's insides are sleeping, (dead) and are in the "anger" stage of mourning...ponder that. The lyrics just don't make sense, any other way, at least to me.

@sailingallalone I agree, but with a slight variance. I feel the person dying in the relationship may have an addiction, alcohol comes to mind. They know they are dying, killing themselves, even trying to hide it when they drink. "Endless hours of wasted moments" nearly puts the last nail in the coffin, in my opinion, on this.

@sailingallalone I personally don't see the "dying" aspect of the song?? I agree it is about being in love with someone, but that someone is not dying IMO. That someone is simply stringing along the narrator ... telling them lies to keep them in tow etc.

This is one of very few Tool songs that has no in depth, or hidden meanings. Still it is one of ten that id take with me to the deserted island. It is stunningly beautiful on every level. I never thought that it would become so very personal. Yet I have never in my 47 years, 2 marriages, and only god knows how many boyfriends, have I been so desperately in love with the man that does the perfect things, says the perfect things, buys the best gifts, but it is a complete lie. I am nothing more to him than the help, he cringes at my touch, hasnt kissed me with passion in a year. Im in the middle of packing my things, and wondering if I could have done something different, because he really did love me for a long time. He doesnt want me to leave. but..his eyes tell what he feels inside.....he lied.....

My Interpretation

Unfortunately ,Kinda think me too.I'm not recalling the song all that well though.The title caught my eye cause of my predicament.I'd like to hear it.I'm making a compilation for the sneaky bastard.

@brookespot Hope you are doing better

I've heard the Peach orignal, it's not as good as the Tool version on Salival. That is something you don't get very often, a cover being better than the orignal, but it is Tool after all!

The lyrics for No Quarter are slightly different than the Led Zeppelin version, so it should be here.

OK MAN, THIS IS SCREWED!!!....on my "salival"..this song is track 5 " merkaba"...the lyrics correspond...thats screwed up...

It's not Merkaba. Salival had tons of mistakes in the booklet when it was released. My copy says the same thing. It's like the "Lateralis" (Lateralus) fiasco. Some were printed with misspellings and messed up info when they were first printed. You probably got one of them as well.

This song is performed much better by tool. Really the only problem with the Peach version is that Peach's singer wasn't that great. Definatley not in the same league as Maynard. Maynard's voice really does a lot with this song.

I love the guitar part. SO PRETTY! I wish I could find the Peach version :(

I think it's about being in love with someone...and finding out after they leave that all they did was lie to you...and you still miss them.

Best day of my life was when I figured out how to emulate the guitar bit of this song...
