It's taken me ages to figure out this song, but I think I've got it.
"People try and hide the night
underneath the covers."
This is the most important line. Rebellion (Lies) is about children waking up to the deception that adults (People) dole out on a daily basis through challenging the authenticity of the "sleep is necessary" concept. Adults block both the night (violence, sex, language) and the light (romantic love) of the world from their children because they don't want them to grow up too fast. Win sings about this from the perspective of a child who has recognized this, who hates it, and is rebelling (hence the song title). The rebellion is in the form of resisting sleep.
Every time you close your eyes (lies! lies!)
He is telling young people that blocking out the world because of what their elders told them is deceitful.
