  1. Lie To Me

From the recording Marble Ghosts

This was “Cheese 2”, another riff from the same session that included ‘Alone’. ‘Alone and ‘Lie to Me’ were sent to Dylan as ‘Cheese 1’ and ‘Cheese 2’ and were used in Dylan’s demo reel for Adam to showcase what he could do with the tracks.

‘Lie to Me’ features an intricate fingerstyle bass intro that builds into a catchy, heavy intro. Despite the scream vocals in the chorus, other than ‘Alone, it is the band’s most radio-friendly track, particularly because of the contrasting harmonies in between the harsh vocals.

Lyrically, ‘Lie to me’ is a song about betrayal and about building something that was never going to succeed. It is supposed to be cathartic as the final act of betrayal frees the person.

Lyrics

Don’t call me brother
Don’t call me friend
Open my eyes
Stitched shut can’t see
Open my eyes
So I can believe
Don’t lie to me
Everyone can see the truth
Don’t lie to me
Everyone can see right through
I’ll be better after
After you’re gone
After you’re gone
Don’t lie to me
Everyone can see the truth
Don’t lie to me
Everyone can see right through
When the world it fell apart
It was broken and burning right from the start
When the world when the world fell apart
Don’t lie to me
Everyone can see the truth
