There’s no reason
To deny
It’s the season
Of the lie
Having someone
Grin at you
Look at little fingers
Pointing truth
Man it’s a weight on my mind
And that’s fine
But now we wade past the point of decline
There’s no time
I’m a believer
In the new
Past receiver
All come true
Look to the east
Filled with hate
Neutral flashers
While we wait
Man it’s a weight on my mind
And that’s fine
But now we wade past the point of decline
There’s no time
I’m an old lover
You’re so sane
Who’s the answer
Of what I mean
In this ocean
I fell into
Break me out of
The shell I grew
Man it’s a weight on my mind
And that’s fine
But now we wade past the point of decline
There’s no time
There’s no time
(There’s no time)
There’s no time
(There’s no time)
No time
(There’s no time)
No time
(There’s no time)
Exploring the Shadows of Truth and Deceit
“Lying Season” by Alice In Chains delves into the complex emotional landscape of deception and the burden it places on the mind. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a time dominated by dishonesty, with the phrase “season of the lie” capturing a pervasive sense of falsehood. The repeated references to weight and decline suggest a growing sense of hopelessness as the truth becomes harder to find. The song’s narrator struggles with the emotional toll of being surrounded by insincerity—highlighted by lines about grinning faces and pointed fingers.
Searching for Meaning Amid Disillusionment
Throughout the song, there’s a yearning for clarity and authenticity, reflected in introspective lines about belief, love, and identity. The imagery of falling into an ocean and growing a shell speaks to vulnerability and the desire to break free from protective barriers. “Lying Season” resonates as a meditation on the difficulty of navigating a world where truth is elusive and time feels scarce.
