Discover the story of the song > White Lies – Alice Glass

The protagonist is reflecting on how she and other girls are often told stories or given excuses to avoid thinking about unpleasant things. Whoever she is with, her partner, tells her lies to protect her from the truth. She asks for more lies because she doesn't want to think about it. She feels cursed because she can see through the lies and knows what her partner really wants her to see. She understands that her father prefers to hear what he wants, and it's easy to make herself smaller and pray that her fate won't interfere. She feels like she wants to disappear. The protagonist emphasizes that her partner is afraid of what they see and that God forgives them and wants to wash away the remnants of her pain.
