Lies Lyrics

Cover art for Lies lyrics by CHVRCHES

"If I feel low"

The way I hear it on my Beats headphones, the last word there doesn't sound like low. It sounds like alone.

"Fall down in front of me"

This sounds to me like either bow down or bend down.

I could be wrong on of or both of those lines from the lyrics. But it's just how it sounds to me.

I think the song is about a girl wanting a guy to show her he's totally devoted to her by showing both knees, falling down in front of her and following her eyes. She can call him up and expect him to answer.

His reward for all this? Her selling him lies that he can't get enough of, lies that maybe he believes to be true, at least until they are revealed to be lies. One of them being that she can feed his dirty mind like she knows what he wants. I don't doubt that to be true. She can feed his dirty mind, probably. But whether she actually will or not is what remains in question as to whether that's true or just a lie to get him to be devoted to her.

Listen again....on some decent headphones this time.

I don't know, but I hear "alone" as well. I have both cd and vinyl version of the album, and I listened to both of those albums through Grado SR80i, Beyer DT880 and Denon D600... and I believe those are quite decent ;-).
