This song is based on hypocrites and those people who compulsively lie. It has an inner monologue where this person is at war with themselves on whether or not to come clean or to keep lying. But, a compulsive liar always does the latter. They lie until the end only to meet the end with hostility.
lyrics
Watching from apparent distance
We don’t see our own ignorance
Narcissistic self-involvement
Laughing at our own reflection
Tell me now what do you see?
(Dites-moi maintenant ce que tu vois)
We all see what we choose to see
(Nous voyons tous ce que nous choisisson de voir)
But if we stopped blinding ourselves
We would see the truth
It’s only a matter of time you know
(Ce n’est qu’une question de temps vous savez)
I know
(Je Sais)
You know?
(Vous le savez?)
Yes
(Oui)
You knew this whole time?
(Vous saviez tout ce temps?)
Yes, I just chose not to listen
(Oui, j’ai juste choisi de ne pas l’ecouter)
Now will you answer me this please?
(Maintenant va me repondre s’il vous plait?)
Yeh! What do you see?
What do you see?
(Que Voyez-vous)
Inside your lonely narcissistic lies
All things come to an end and repeat
(Toutes les choses ont une fin et repetez)
But what happens when somebody
Figures out your ways
Well I guess I will lie some more
But your defeat is the realisation
Yes, but they don’t have to know that
Why can’t you admit that you’re wrong?
Because that would make me just like everyone else
You are everyone else you fool
This fall will hurt
(Cette baisse va faire mal)
Shatter all you made
Now you’re down here
