"A Beautiful Lie" adalah sebuah lagu yang menggugah pikiran oleh band rock alternatif 30 Seconds to Mars. Lirik lagu yang ditulis dengan indah mengeksplorasi tema penyangkalan, kesesuaian, dan pencarian makna dalam hidup. Penyanyi utama Jared Leto melukiskan gambaran tentang seorang individu yang bergumul dengan masa lalu mereka, berusaha melepaskan kebenaran dan merangkul kebohongan yang menenangkan. Lagu ini diakhiri dengan seruan untuk melepaskan diri dari ekspektasi dan ikatan masyarakat, sambil tetap berpegangan pada keyakinan bahwa "ini hanyalah sebuah permainan."
A Beautiful Lie Lyrics
30 Seconds to Mars
Lie awake in bed at night
And think about your life
Do you want to be different?
Try to let go of the truth
The battles of your youth
'Cause this is just a game
[Chorus:]
It's a beautiful lie
It's the perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful it makes me
It's time to forget about the past
To wash away what happened last
Hide behind an empty face
Don't ask too much, just say
'Cause this is just a game
[Chorus]
(Oh Oh
The end of the world)
Everyone's looking at me
I'm running around in circles, baby
A quiet desperation's building higher
I've got to remember this is just a game
(So beautiful, beautiful
It's a beautiful lie
So beautiful, beautiful
It's a beautiful lie
So beautiful, beautiful...)
[Chorus]
And think about your life
Do you want to be different?
Try to let go of the truth
The battles of your youth
'Cause this is just a game
[Chorus:]
It's a beautiful lie
It's the perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful it makes me
It's time to forget about the past
To wash away what happened last
Hide behind an empty face
Don't ask too much, just say
'Cause this is just a game
[Chorus]
(Oh Oh
The end of the world)
Everyone's looking at me
I'm running around in circles, baby
A quiet desperation's building higher
I've got to remember this is just a game
(So beautiful, beautiful
It's a beautiful lie
So beautiful, beautiful
It's a beautiful lie
So beautiful, beautiful...)
[Chorus]
