It's a Lie (거짓말인데)

Sondia's song 'It's a Lie (거짓말인데)' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of love and loss. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with the aftermath of a broken relationship. The recurring theme of asking about well-being and making promises to forget highlights the struggle to move on. Despite attempts to numb the heart, memories resurface, causing both joy and sorrow without any apparent reason. This duality of emotions underscores the complexity of human feelings when dealing with past love.

The chorus reveals a poignant wish: if only stopping love could also stop the pain and hatred. However, the reality is that only longing grows, almost to the point of bursting. This overwhelming sadness is often hidden behind a facade of being 'okay,' which is, in itself, a lie. The song captures the essence of pretending to be fine while being consumed by sorrow. The act of discarding memories, only to find them piling up again, signifies the inescapable nature of past experiences. The realization that these memories cannot be erased leads to a reluctant acceptance, choosing to keep them close instead.

The song also reflects on the silent, happy days and the shared laughter, which now seem like a distant dream. The hope that everything was a lie or a dream, and the prayer to return to those days, emphasizes the deep yearning for the past. The repeated act of hiding overflowing sadness with the pretense of being okay, despite knowing it's a lie, encapsulates the heart-wrenching reality of dealing with lost love. Sondia's emotive delivery and the melancholic melody further amplify the song's emotional depth, making it a poignant reflection on love, loss, and the lies we tell ourselves to cope.
