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."
French masculine given name
Lie (song)
"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.
Spleen
The spleen (from Greek σπλήν—splḗn) is an organ found in virtually all vertebrates. Similar in structure to a large lymph node, it acts primarily as a blood filter.
The spleen plays important roles in regard to red blood cells (also referred to as erythrocytes) and the immune system. It removes old red blood cells and holds a reserve of blood, which can be valuable in case of hemorrhagic shock, and also recycles iron. As a part of the mononuclear phagocyte system, it metabolizes hemoglobin removed from senescent erythrocytes. The globin portion of hemoglobin is degraded to its constitutive amino acids, and the heme portion is metabolized to bilirubin, which is removed in the liver.
The spleen synthesizes antibodies in its white pulp and removes antibody-coated bacteria and antibody-coated blood cells by way of blood and lymph node circulation. A study published in 2009 using mice found that the spleen contains, in its reserve, half of the body's monocytes within the red pulp. These monocytes, upon moving to injured tissue (such as the heart), turn into dendritic cells and macrophages while promoting tissue healing. The spleen is a center of activity of the mononuclear phagocyte system and can be considered analogous to a large lymph node, as its absence causes a predisposition to certain infections.
Spleen (Chinese medicine)
The Spleen (Chinese: 脾; pinyin: pí) is one of the zàng organs stipulated by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is a functionally defined entity and not equivalent to the anatomical organ of the same name.
In the context of the zang-fu concept
As a zàng, the Spleen is considered to be a yin organ. Its associated yang organ is the Stomach. Both Spleen and Stomach are attributed to the Earth element.
Regarding its stipulated functions, the Spleen
- the jīng weī constitutes a large part of the body's acquired qì (the other part coming from breathing, by facilitation of the Lung zàng). In this spirit, the Spleen is also called "root of the postnatal" (后天之本, pinyin: hoùtiān zhī běn]) - as opposed to the congenital qì, which is stored by the Kidney zàng. The Spleen absorbs jīng weī from the food after it has been preprocessed by the Stomach and the Small Intestine, and then distributes it to the whole body, especially upwards to the Lung and Heart, where jīng weī is transformed into qì and xuě (blood). Thus, TCM also describes the Spleen as the source of "production and mutual transformation" (生化, pinyin: shēng-huà) of qì and xuě.
- the Spleen distributes the water extracted from the food and distributes it to the whole of the body, especially to the Lung and Kidney zàng, and thus assists the body's water metabolism.

My Lie
by: AvatarI´m not the only one, who has looked to the stars
in peace, in fear, in wonder, inside
I´m everything you´re not
I´m everything you want
I´m everything you´ve been
I´m everything you´ve seen
I´m not the only one, but I´m also a part,
of you, of us, of nothing, of time
Time bound to your thoughts
Travelling through nothing
Living in my lie
A door has opened to the ocean´s heart
We´re all within
Drops of water tied to the streams
No one can win
Why do you tend to fear all the thing that I love?
The dark, the void, the depths, the end
It´s coming anyway
It´s coming our way
It´s coming to your door
It´s you it´s coming for
Why do you tend to fear to show what you hide,
from me, from us, from nothing, from time.
Time
Travelling through nothing
Living in my lie
A door has opened to the ocean´s heart
We´re all within
Drops of water tied to the streams
No one can win
There´s nothing here to see
There´s nothing here for me
There´s nothing here to win
There´s only what´s within
You are the only one just like everyone else
One wave, one thought, one world, one loss
Time is nothing but an empty void
Time bound to your thoughts
Travelling through nothing
Living in my lie
A door has opened to the ocean´s heart
We´re all within
Drops of water tied to the streams
