- Lie Again is just a story of
wanting information,
getting the information,
and then regretting that you have that information at all.
So it's the quote, "Ignorance is bliss."
When you have great music,
but you don't have the story or the song yet,
it is just like a itch that you have.
So I was sitting with the music for like,
probably like two weeks,
just like listening to it every single day.
Like, I don't know what story would be told on this.
And then within the two weeks,
you know, that story happened in like
real time.
Yeah, so Too Honest To Me,
I kind of wanted it to sound like
I was cutting someone off.
Like we're having a conversation
and I was just like, "Stop."
It's so simple and so natural.
It's not forced.
It feels like an authentic dialogue
that's actually happening.
And you don't really hear people say,
"You being too honest."
That's a question I always have
is do people really want the truth?
You know, it's one thing for you to tell me
and then I move on.
But if you tell me this
and I'm still gonna stay,
what's the point.
I kind of was like what's the point of even
having it if I'm not going anywhere so.
So a sweet lie could be as simple as
just asking your significant other,
"Am I the best you ever had?
"Am I the one you love the most outta anyone?"
And in your mind,
if you thinking of someone you love more,
it doesn't matter.
Just lie to me and tell me that it's me.
That's the sweet lie.
That's the sweetest lie actually.
I'm pretty sure this isn't the first lie.
So I was just like, you know what?
There's other lies that I don't even know about
that I'm not even hurt from yet.
So just put this in that.
I want to compartmentalize it over here
and just,
just lie again.
When I write lines, like
"Am I being insecure?"
I love simple nuanced lines like that,
because that's literally something I would,
I could probably scroll through my texts
and see that I sent that to someone before.
And I wanna make sure I could feel it,
my verses, with stuff like that at least.
It just feels real.
People claim that they want the truth about everything,
which I disagree.
I don't, I don't think that's the truth.
There's some people who ask
a lot more questions than others.
And I think, when I was writing this,
I was becoming a person of just,
I don't care to ask questions for what.
I like to use verses as progressing a story.
And then the pre as just, you know,
where the poetry comes in.
So the chorus, that's what the song is about.
Really.
I think verse, you should,
I want people to listen.
Pre I want people to start to sway.
And then the hook,
I want them to start singing out loud.
