(yLie to Me is the first single from A.D.I.M.A.H.'s debut album, Anger Evocation Seminar.
Meaning[]
The song centers on false hope and denial. Keeping with the theme of the album, it's based upon a counselor telling his patients that they'll be fine, when he doesn't know the full extent of their problem.
Structure[]
This song is notable for its frequent tempo changes. The first section is fast paced and features spoken word lines, but after the chorus, it slows slightly and changes its tune. Finally, after the next chorus, the song plays slower throughout the bridge before becoming fast again.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
A typical life I live
Deviation does not exist
Follow the arranged path
I wrought my own wrath
Lie to me
What you want me to see.
Eyes on manmade possibility
A way out what
I would never wish
[verse 2]
I want to be
Shot on TV
Death by hubris
Evaluation dismissed
Humans everywhere
Cannot comprehend
Humans everywhere
Claim they understnad
(I sure aint in control here)
[verse 3]
I never got suspended
I always did my part
I was never arrested
Though there was a good time to start
Never strayed from the pavement
I'd sink into the break
Everyday I see my mother
So she could make my next mistake
[instrumental riff]
[gun shot]
(out with the old, you know)
Music Video[]
The video is the first of many A.D.I.M.A.H. videos to feature use of CGI. The scenery changes with every tempo alteration It starts with a series of flames that form into the band. It then cuts to the band performing the song against a series of shipwrecks, then in a classroom and lastly in a field. Throughout the video, there're cuts to a young girl who gets verbally abused by her teacher, and it ends with the girl ramming a pencil into the teacher's trachea.
