Without A Word Of A Lie (Soundcloud)

Without A Word Of A Lie (Youtube)

This song will be a bit of deja-vu for Mr Dee, as it was written in January 2024 prior to me using BIAB. I thought it was such a reasonable song that it merited an update and enhancement that BIAB gives. So essentially i've swapped out the original drum pattern, my basic bass playing and acoustic rhythm, and used BIAB drum, bass and electric rhythm guitars to fill out the sound. I was working on this prior to Sol releasing his recently song "Your A Baby and Wonderful", which I really enjoyed. I mentioned in my comments to Sol that babies are pure and unspoilt until society starts to shape them. Well, this song sort of goes down that path on how we all get swept up in life's course and things shape us...in this song how the negative things have shaped us. Enough psychoanalysis!!!

So the video was shot in 2024, you see me playing bass and rhythm to my original track, but as that's been swapped out of the audio you'll notice it's not in sync. The original is on my Youtube channel should you want to see it.

WITHOUT A WORD OF A LIE

Do you remember the lies we’re strung when we were young?
Mind games played by loved ones, still haunt you.
Serve to beguile us, misdirect us and dumbfound us.
Without a word of a lie, we were so naive.

Without a word of a lie, without a word of a lie.
Without a word of a lie, without a word of a lie.

Do you still wear the scars from the lies of yesteryears?
Innocence came at the expense of humility.
All said in jest I’m sure, still we stay repressed,
Without a word of a lie, per chance to scream.

Give it some time, the seed of a lie will grow.
Self confidence so fragile and breaking.
Give it some time, the fruit of a lie will show.
Innocence is never lost, it’s taken.

Can you sense the betrayal that held you back?
Does it still threaten you today?
You know you’re still hurting, don’t say it ain’t so.
Without a word of a lie, needed love to dream.

Without a word of a lie, without a word of a lie.
Without a word of a lie, without a word of a lie.

Give it some time, the seed of a lie will grow.
Casual lying is the game you play.
Give it some time, the fruit of a lie will show.
That’s how you get your rush, acting that way.

Give it some time, the seed of a lie will grow.
Self confidence so fragile and breaking.
Give it some time, the fruit of a lie will show.
Innocence is never lost, it’s taken.

Without a word of a lie, without a word of a lie.
Without a word of a lie, without a word of a lie.
Without a word of a lie, without a word of a lie.
Without a word of a lie, without a word of a lie.
