Beautiful Lies

Alex Robbins' song 'Beautiful Lies' delves into the emotional turmoil and heartbreak that comes from being deceived by someone you deeply trusted. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship built on falsehoods, where the protagonist initially believed they would find solace and love in their partner's arms. However, this belief is shattered as they realize they were fed 'beautiful lies,' leading to a profound sense of betrayal and disillusionment.

The recurring line, 'Oh you were bound to break 'em,' emphasizes the inevitability of the heartbreak. The protagonist's vulnerability is palpable, as they describe how their heart raced every time they looked into their partner's eyes, only to have their trust and love torn apart. This repetition underscores the cyclical nature of the pain and the inescapable reality that their partner was always going to break their heart.

Robbins also explores the internal struggle of overthinking and the sleepless nights that come with it. The line 'I'm losing sleep with my own enemy' suggests that the protagonist is battling their own thoughts and emotions, exacerbated by the realization of their partner's true nature. The metaphor of the partner being 'addictive like tobacco' highlights the difficulty of letting go, despite knowing the relationship is toxic. The song captures the essence of a painful awakening to the truth, where the protagonist must confront the reality of their partner's deception and the impact it has on their emotional well-being.
