Song Meaning of “Deception” by Monophonics
‘Deception’ by Monophonics speaks to the struggles of maintaining a relationship based on lies and deceit. Through lyrics like “You lie about the truth hidden away in your heart,” and “Always close enough to see but never close enough to touch,” we are presented with the deep irony of a stagnant connection: while the person in question is seemingly near enough to touch, the divide between the truth and lies has driven them apart.
The chorus reveals the full story – “All of my intuition, it proved me right once again/ I’ll find more room for my redemption, forgiven again and again/ All of my suspicion, it says it all so plain/ Deception decision, there was nothing that could remain.” The speaker is acknowledging that, although their instincts told them something was wrong, they held onto the relationship in hopes of finding redemption. In the end, though, the deception was too much to bear and the relationship had to come to an end.
This song speaks to the power of deep-seated doubt and how even though it’s very hard to walk away from something that you want so badly, sometimes it’s necessary in order to keep yourself safe and protected. It’s a strong reminder to trust your gut and step away from something that doesn’t feel right.
