Pretty Little Liar

Coldrain's 'Pretty Little Liar' delves into the theme of deception and the superficiality of appearances. The song's protagonist confronts someone who hides behind a facade of innocence and charm, but whose true nature is manipulative and hollow. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of this 'pretty little liar,' who uses their outward beauty and rehearsed innocence to deceive others. However, the protagonist sees through this veneer, recognizing the emptiness and deceit that lie beneath.

The chorus emphasizes the protagonist's rejection of the liar's advances and false declarations of love. Lines like 'You say you love me, really think I hate you' and 'You say you want me but I don't even want to' highlight the protagonist's disdain and refusal to be ensnared by the liar's manipulative tactics. This rejection is further underscored by the repeated command to 'go, go,' signaling a desire to distance oneself from the toxic influence of the liar.

The song also explores the liar's internal emptiness and the futility of their actions. Despite their efforts to impress and gain attention, the liar's true self remains unfulfilled and isolated. The lyrics 'With a song you make 'em sweat / But your make up can't disguise you' and 'A night spent alone in bed / Beats the nothingness inside you' reveal the liar's struggle with their own lack of genuine connection and self-worth. Ultimately, 'Pretty Little Liar' is a powerful commentary on the dangers of superficiality and the importance of seeing beyond appearances to recognize true character.
