Lying Lyrics
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, baby, it’s my poker face again
Someone get me straight
I’ll play it cool
But I’ve been faking it
[Chorus]
You know I’ve been lyin’
You know I’ve been lyin’
You know I’ve been lyin’
You know I’ve been lyin’
[Verse]
My heart’s beating faster, faster than it seems
I tell you I’m bad but only in my dreams
I’ll tell you what I’m feeling
My nature’s been conceiving
Everythin’ that I could be
What you know and all of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, baby, it’s my poker face again
Someone get me straight
I’ll play it cool
But I’ve been faking it
[Chorus]
You know I’ve been lyin’
You know I’ve been lyin’
You know I’ve been lyin’
You know I’ve been lyin’
You know I’ve been lyin’
You know I’ve been lyin’
You know I’ve been lyin’
You know I’ve been lyin’
You know I’ve been lyin’
You know I’ve been lyin’
You know I’ve been lyin’
You know I’ve been lyin’
[Outro]
(Here we go)
(Nice dude)
Lying Lyrics Meaning
[Pre-Chorus]
In this section, Malcolm Todd uses the metaphor of a “poker face” to represent the emotional mask he wears to conceal vulnerability. Despite his efforts to maintain composure and appear unaffected, he admits to faking it. The cry for someone to “get me straight” reflects a desire for clarity or rescue from the confusion he’s trapped in. This reveals his internal struggle—torn between the pressure to appear strong and the desire to be genuine.
[Chorus]
The repeated confession of “You know I’ve been lyin’” becomes a mantra of emotional release. Malcolm Todd confronts the truth that he’s been dishonest—not necessarily maliciously, but as a survival mechanism to avoid confronting his deeper emotions. The repetition reinforces the weight of the lie and the toll it has taken, creating a rhythm that mirrors the cycle of pretending and the underlying need for honesty.
[Verse]
Here, Malcolm Todd peels back the emotional layers to reveal his anxiety and self-doubt. He contrasts how others may perceive him with who he is in private, suggesting that his perceived flaws are part of a more complex inner world. His dreams and imagination clash with the polished version of himself that he shows others. The verse portrays a longing for someone to see and accept his full self, including the parts he’s tried to hide.
[Pre-Chorus]
This repeated section emphasizes the ongoing nature of Malcolm Todd’s emotional performance. The return of the poker face symbolizes the recurrence of his internal defense mechanism. Despite wanting to break free from the act, he finds himself caught in a loop of pretending to be okay while feeling increasingly disconnected from authenticity.
[Chorus]
The extended repetition of the chorus reinforces the emotional climax of the song. Malcolm Todd’s continued admission of lying becomes more desperate and raw with each line, as if the act of repetition itself is an attempt at catharsis. It suggests that even when the truth is spoken, it takes time and vulnerability to let it fully sink in and be acknowledged.
[Outro]
The outro offers a shift in tone, adding a touch of lightness or camaraderie with the phrases “Here we go” and “Nice dude.” These lines may represent a return to casualness or an ironic contrast to the emotional weight of the rest of the song. They could also signify Malcolm Todd’s reentry into his social persona—one that downplays vulnerability just after revealing it—completing the cycle of emotional exposure and retreat.
