Song Meaning of “Lies Define Us” by Sarah Jezebel Deva
This song is an exploration of how lies have the power to shape and define us. We often lie for different reasons – to protect ourselves, to avoid difficult conversations, or because we think it’s easier than telling the truth. But the lies can add up and eventually take on a life of their own, defining who we are and how we’re seen by others. In the chorus, Sarah Jezebel Deva expresses her desire to move past all these lies and be true to herself: “I want to believe in something grown from truth…let the truth define us!” She expresses the sweet irony of how living a lie can be easier in the short term, but in the long term, if we embrace the truth, the reward is greater. We gain freedom and more authentic relationships when we realize that understanding comes much more effortlessly from truth, not lies.
