Lie

A lie is a statement that is known or intended by its source to be misleading, inaccurate, or false. The practice of communicating lies is called lying, and a person who communicates a lie may be termed a liar. Lies may be employed to serve a variety of instrumental, interpersonal, or psychological functions for the individuals who use them. Generally, the term "lie" carries a negative connotation, and depending on the context a person who communicates a lie may be subject to social, legal, religious, or criminal sanctions. In certain situations, however, lying is permitted, expected, or even encouraged. Because believing and acting on false information can have serious consequences, scientists and others have attempted to develop reliable methods for distinguishing lies from true statements.

Types

Bad faith

As defined by Sartre, "bad faith" is lying to oneself. Specifically, it is failing to acknowledge one's own ability to act and determine one's possibilities, falling back on the determinations of the various historical and current totalizations which have produced one as if they relieved one of one's freedom to do so.

Élie

Élie is the French equivalent of "Elias" or "Elijah."

    "Lie" is the first single by Black Light Burns from their debut album Cruel Melody. It was released to radio on March 20.

    Song information

    Lie was the first full Black Light Burns song Wes Borland had shown to the public. Previously, various samples were available on the band's MySpace page, but on March 29, 2007, Borland put up the full version of Lie, after responding to some controversial remarks from the other members of Limp Bizkit. This led to many fans believing the lyrics in the song were meant to discredit his former bandmates, and the time he spent in the band. The song contained lines such as "I'm living a lie, and it's not the best thing for me" and "I follow these pigs around, but I never get used to it".

    The song notably features an unusual and flashy harmony guitar solo at the end, something missing from Borland's previous works. As a whole, the song is an unusual blend of extremely dark and vicious guitar driven music augmented by the programmed percussion of Charlie Clouser alongside the live drums of Josh Freese. The band played this song on Last Call with Carson Daly in promotion of the album.

    Lie

    by: Clayton Risner

    (Verse 1)
    I wish I could hide my face
    Put it away for eighty days
    Then reappear with out a trace
    I want to take the memories
    Throw them in a winter sea
    Because they remind of your mistakes
    (Pre-Chorus)
    And it kills me to know that we
    could have been something
    And it kills me to know that you
    were my best friend.
    (CHORUS)
    You were a lie
    from the beginning
    You were a lie
    from the start
    You were a lie
    that kept on sinning
    You were the lie
    that captured my heart
    (VERSE 2)
    You were the liar, I was the fool
    Knowing the truth but being so cruel
    You out of all knew the rules
    Stripping me from my sanity
    Painting your picture for all to see
    But now I'm not yours to please
    (Pre-Chorus)
    And it kills me to know that we
    could have been something
    And it kills me to know that you
    were my best friend.
    (CHORUS)
    You were a lie
    from the beginning
    You were a lie
    from the start
    You were a lie
    that kept on sinning
    You were the lie
    that captured my heart
    (BRIDGE)
    I hope you're happy that you made me cry
    I hope you're happy that you made my joy die
    I hope you're happy that you tore me apart
    I wanted the truth, was that too difficult?
    (CHORUS)
    You were a lie
    from the beginning
    You were a lie
    from the start
    You were a lie
    that kept on sinning
    You were the lie
    that captured my heart
