5 Seconds of Summer: Lie to Me Meaning

Lie to Me Lyrics

[Verse 1: Luke]
I saw you looking brand new overnight
And I caught you looking too, but you didn't look twice
You look happy, oh, mmm
You look happy, oh

[Pre Chorus: Luke & Calum]
Flashing back to New York City
Changing flights so you...

   Lie to me by 5 Seconds Of Summer is in fact about Luke’s toxic relationship and how he’s in so much pain that the others were so concerned but could only watch from the sides and watch as the red flags popped up and how his relationship burned. He can’t see that its a bad relationship and he just wanted to have a perfect relationship and that he wished she would still love him even though she never did. He keeps thinking back to when he thought they were meant to be. He isn’t happy and she is happy. He just wants her to lie to him about whether she actually loves him or not. Kinda wish they had never met because he can’t forget her just she easily did with him. He feels like he is being test but he hopes it will be easier to see the next day. Lie to me is singing to an ex after they both have moved on to new relationships. He still has feelings for his ex but knows she has truly moved on in her heart. He is asking her to lie to him and tell him she loves him even though he knows she does not.

   This song is about having a toxic relationship and you cannot do anything but to accept a lot of situations. He accepted that she already moved on but he was asking for her to come back. But there is also a line that says, "While I'm cleaning up your mess, I know he's taking off your dress", he knew that she already had a new lover but he still cannot fix himself. Lie to me is simply asking for her to lie one last time that she loves him.

   Lie to me is singing to an ex after they both have moved on to new relationships. He still has feelings for his ex but knows she has truly moved on in her heart. In the song, he is asking his ex to lie to him and tell him she loves him even though he knows she does not nor ever will. He will move on physically, but will never fully replace his ex internally. We've all been there.

   I think is song is a metaphor for a toxic relationship and/or a relationship of lies. But if I’m being specific, I think it’s about a past relationship that Luke or any of the other 5SOS boys have been in that wasn’t such a great time. But I also feel like that this song is about Arzaylea’s and Luke’s relationship. Since it was rumored or proven that she cheated on Luke, then it wasn’t such a great relationship. And then it seems like she didn’t love him and the lyrics were, “I know that you don’t but if I ask you if you love me, I hope you lie lie lie lie to me”, so that’s why I think the song is about a toxic relationship.
