Givēon’s “Lie Again” Lyrics Meaning

The logical implication behind Giveon’s “Lie Again” is that the addressee has cheated on the vocalist. Moreover, the latter is the type of person who, let’s say prefers an untouched woman. And for whatever reason, he knows that his sweetheart has been with someone else and is also the she type, if asked, would admit it to him. But it’s as if ask, Giveon must. 

So in the process he is also instructing the addressee to deceive him into believing that, most simply put, some other guy didn’t sleep with her.

The interesting thing about this song is that, once again going back to the singer’s preference for a virginal type, the lyrics read like maybe Giveon can be referring to something the addressee did before hooking up with him. Indeed, we all know that some guys are like that. Once they fall in love, even the thought of their sweetheart having been sexually active in the past is more than they can comfortably bear.

But to note, the title of this song is in fact “lie again”. And all things considered, it’s hard to imagine that the vocalist would get this bent out of shape about something that happened back in the day.

So at this point, we are compelled to take Giveon’s own explanation of the narrative into consideration. And as explained, the addressee’s past is indeed a factor here and now. And that would be because, as implied in Giveon’s description, she is still engaged in such activities.

In other words, something about her past romantic history should have deterred the vocalist from falling in too deep. But fallen in love he has, and now he prefers sweet lies to the bitter truth.
