Open Your Eyes, Your Life Is a Lie

MGMT
Your Life is a Lie

A man can tell a thousand lies
I’ve learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secret
I have learned
till then
it will burn inside of me

Madonna
Live to Tell

Here’s the deal
Open your eyes
Your life is a lie
Don’t say a word
I’ll tell you why
You’re living a lie
Your life is a lie

up above and down below

and don’t ever hold me down.
Now my feet won’t touch the ground

And in the end
It’s only round and round, and round

I’ve been looking so long

that I almost
believe that they’re real

is no portrait of me
It’s too real to be shown
to someone I don’t know

There’s no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss

Can’t keep my mind from the circling sky
Tongue-tied and twisted,
just an earth-bound misfit, I

Pink Floyd
Learning to Fly

I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide

I see colour raining down
Feral feeling, swaying sound
But I don’t know what you want

Birds fly over the rainbow,
why then, oh why can’t I?
