Lyrics for The Truth Is, You should Lie with me as interpreted by sheslikeohsoemo

The Truth Is, You should Lie with me Lyrics
Caught you looking at my reflection
This is not the way we procreate
Give me something else than affection
Swollen suffering fantasy of hate
You're a pretty face
You should like me
I wanna get used by you
Cause I'm full of hate
Just excite me
I wanna get bruised by you
The murder that marks you every day
The stain on your soul won't wash away
We spit on the cross just like we're trained
We scowl and screw away the pain

"But i'm up for it if you are handsome. Let's keep that morningstar burning."

You're a party boy
You should like me
I wanna get used by you
Cause I'm unemployed
Just to spite me
I wanna get bruised by you

When you burn in hell
They remind you
Of all the things you screwed up in your life
I'll be one of them
If you're inclined to
Turn away from the ever-glowing light

You're a pretty face
You should like me
(All I want is to see through you
If only you were alive I could trust you)
I wanna get used by you
Cause I'm full of hate
Just excite me
(But now alone in your bed we'll prove
you do not have to love to be in pain too)
I wanna get

You should lie with me
The truth is, you should lie with me

favorite song off the new album :D
as far as meaning... i'm not completely sure but i think that wanting to get hurt has something to do with it.

This song is a look at people who use sex to remedy self esteem issues. The pun on the word "lie" is saying that while they're having sex they're fooling themselves.

i think it's pretty clear that this song is about a homosexual relationship (one night stand?). "this is not the way we procreate" and "when you burn in hell" all references to judeo-christian intolerance of homosexuality. also, the voice that says "i'm up for it if you are handsome" is clearly a man.

i agree with coldvoltage. when the guy says,
"Let's keep that morningstar burning."
the moringstar is actually not a star at all, it's the planet Venus. and in christian mythology, Lucifer is reffered to as the morning star. so forbidden homosexual love= the devil.

i'm gonna have to agree with jayemel, although not neccessarily to remedy self esteem issues, maybe to ignore everything else that's going on: "We scowl and screw away the pain".
i doubt the song has anything to do with homosexuality. it talks about the cross and burning in hell for your screw ups. maybe instead of being gay, promiscuous sex? sex before marriage? they're sins. plus, max bemis just isn't gay, hah.

Reading the homosexual one night stand interpritation of this song I'm quite certian that it's much more acurate than my own, but here it is.

my take is a teen pregnancy interpretation, and deciding to abort it.

the first verse is about the sex. You're young, you're not in love, and this is not sex to procreate. and ends with, "Swollen suffering fantasy of hate" or the realisation that yes, you're pregnant.

The second verse discusses the choice to have an abortion. because you know you're not ready to have a child but deep down you can't help but feel guilt, fell like a sinner.

The third verse has sort of the same tone, only it's almost coming from the prespective of the unbornchild, the "ever glowing light"

Finally in between these verses you have your party boy and pretty face who put no thought into their actions and just did what they did.


and that's just what i thought

Just for the record: Just because a band makes a song with a gay theme, it doesn't mean they're gay. Also, in case I ended up sounding rude, I have nothing against Christianity, religion, LGBTQ, or anything of that sort. \o/ Now that I've gotten that out of the way...

Okay, this song confuses me. I'll think I have a good explanation, but then I look over the lyrics again and something contradicts what I'd come up with. :< But, ignoring a few lines that don't fit it, I think it has to do with a guy from a very religious, conservative background finding himself sexually attracted to another man. That obviously causes moral conflict for him, but he ends up rejecting religion/accepting that he's going to hell and gets into a kinda messed up sexual relationship with the guy he's attracted to.

i think its a song with characters...like radiohead's paranoid android.
the first character is max
the second is the girl who has this sexy relationship with him

or it is just mocking general ideas of casual sex form both genders

I agree with jayemel, the part where he says "your a party boy, you should like me" gives it away. :P

i don't really think its about being gay?
i've always seen it as him singing from a girl's point of view.
the typical girl who always falls for the asshole but has gotten used to it by now, is aware that's she's only being used and is in turn using him.

i agree with paco taco and likegiants. everytime i heard the song i always thought he was singing from the point of view of the girl halfway the song.

anyways, first time i heard this song, it really sounds like how i feel sometimes. i was in a bad part of my life and i hated myself. when i felt like shit i used to have sex or ask my boyfriend to hit me. i think the song is about a screwed up girl that knows it and she is trying to punish herself even though at the same time she knows it's screwing up the guy; cause really i knew he was going to hate himself after the sex/abuse.
