Cause I'm a Liar

Mcki Robyns-P's song 'Cause I'm a Liar' delves into the complex and often dark world of deception and self-deception. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has become so entangled in their own lies that they can no longer distinguish between truth and falsehood. The song opens with a sense of disgust and repulsion towards the act of disguising oneself, suggesting a deep internal conflict about the necessity of lying to be considered 'worth existing.' This sets the stage for a narrative that explores the addictive and destructive nature of deceit.

The recurring theme of a 'lying game' and 'masquerade' serves as a metaphor for the social facades people often wear. The lyrics describe a life that is 'boring' and 'dull' without the excitement of deception, indicating a paradoxical relationship with lying—it is both repulsive and exhilarating. The imagery of 'dancing senselessly on the shadows of the betrayed' and 'a smiling and crying and lying charade' underscores the emotional turmoil and moral ambiguity that come with living a life of lies. The song suggests that lying has become a coping mechanism, a way to inject some semblance of excitement into an otherwise monotonous existence.

The chorus, with its repeated declarations of 'I’m a liar, liar,' emphasizes the protagonist's acceptance of their deceitful nature. The lines 'After all fire, fire / Is something I pursue' and 'I’ll infect you too / With the addictive taboo / Of bidding the truth adieu' highlight the contagious and destructive nature of lies. The song concludes with a sense of resignation and despair, as the protagonist acknowledges that their world is 'covered in lies' and that 'there’s nothing else to do / Except bid the truth adieu.' This final admission encapsulates the song's exploration of the inescapable cycle of deception and the emotional toll it takes on both the liar and those around them.

The song's dark, introspective lyrics are complemented by its haunting melody, creating a powerful and thought-provoking piece that challenges listeners to reflect on their own relationship with truth and deception.
