Say a prayer now
Don't be scared now
You don't want trouble
Well we might get some
We might get some,
It's troublesome.
But don't you worry
You can help me...

Killing lies, killing lies,
Killing lies, killing lies

First you're worried
Then you're hurried
Don't think that everything
is gonna stay the same
That's impossible.
Before I let you go
Let me look at you
Don't you worry
You will help me

Killing lies, killing lies,
Killing lies, killing lies

Oh yes I noticed you
You are a friend of mine

    General Comment:Julian said this song is kind of cheesy, but that "the truth is sort of a difficult thing to find." He also said he was just singing this thing and this song came out. Maybe it doesn't really mean anything, just a simple song.

    General Comment:Could be about coming to the realisation that your friends aren't gonna let you in, you're just nothing to them.

    General Comment:i dont agree with the person who said the whole cd's about juliet, i highly doubt that. could just be me being in denial though,lol.love jules' voice on this song. and god,i can sense nikolai's presence in this song from the first second. even before i knew he helped w/ it, i was like wow this has nikolai written all over it. to me this song is about problems b/w two people that feels so bad its like the end of the world.

    General Comment:I think a lot of their songs are about cheating, especially this one. I absolutely love the simple, meaningful lyrics. It is my favorite song on the whole album. Before I let you go, let me look at you...Best lines in ANY song.

    General Comment:I think it's just me... but I see a lot more to this song.

    with reference to the title, it can either refer to the fact that the LIES that are being told are KILLING (awful)... OR it can mean that these lies are going on, but he wants to kill them and stop them.

    something's obviously going on in this relationship that causes the girl to become scared and worried.
    so by these lines:
    "You don't want trouble
    Well we might get some
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    We might get some,
    It's troublesome"
    anyone could look at the 2 clauses and see the same words, just written twice. but actually, in the first clause, I think he's blatantly stating that the girl "brought [them] trouble" (somehow)... so they're going to "get some".... but then, this might be a stretch, but I think he's saying "we might get SOME"... as in sex. people always say they're getting some when they actually mean they're getting sex. so because they're going to have sex, "it's troublesome".

    but then he goes on to say "but don't you worry"... telling her not to worry, because eventually, as he later says, that these "killing lies" are recognized and eventually they are both going to go "killing lies" :)

    in the second verse, still, she's worried and hurried, and he's letting her know that their relationship HAS changed. he's obviously attracted to this girl, as he wants to look at her before he lets her go. but then, he goes and tells her not to worry, because she will help him.

    maybe by coming clean she will help him? or maybe by ending the relationship she will help them both. the then goes on to recognize these killing lies again.

    maybe the whole situation just means that there are lies that exist in the relationship, and they just need to come clean with each other.

    what I can't figure out is when he says "oh yes I notice you, you are a friend of mine"... it's hard to tell (when he screams the last line) if he really means it... that their relationship is better, OR if she's ONLY a friend, and their relationship is broken.

    well, that's what I think :)

    General Comment:You know, a song doesn't have to have a lot of lyrics to mean something.

    Look at Ask Me Anything.

    I like this songs cleanness and simplicity.

    One of my faves.

    General Comment:i wouldn't say it's the weakest, but it's definitely not one of the best.. i'm not a fan of some of the songs near the end of "first impressions".

    to me this song is about a relationship/friendship that is slowly crumbling ("you don't want trouble/well we might get some"). he wants this person to work with him ("don't worry/you can help me").

    the lies are all the idiosyncracies that annoy each other (they don't express the truth, they lie, pretending they don't bother them). he realizes this is the cause of the trouble so he wants to kill them.

    second verse seems like the person won't work with him, so he gives up ("before i let you go"). at the end, though, he still recognizes the person as a friend.
