I've been thinking of everything
I used to want to be
I've been thinking of everything
Of me, of you and me
This is the story of my life
(These are the lies I have created)
This is the story of my life
(These are the lies I have created)
I'm in the middle of nothing
And it's where I want to be
I'm at the bottom of everything
And I finally start to leave [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/0-9/30_seconds_to_mars/the_story.html ]
This is the story of my life
(These are the lies I have created)
This is the story of my life
(These are the lies I have created)
(I've created...)
And I swear to god
I'll find myself in the end
And I swear to god
I'll find myself in the end
And I swear to god
I'll find myself in the end
In the end
And I swear to god
I'll find myself in the end
In the end, in the end, in the end, in the end
This is the story of my life
These are the lies I have created
This is the story of my life
Thse are the lies I have created
(I've created)
This is the story of my life
These are the lies I have created
What i get from this is that you live your life. Only for you to find out that all of the things you did, all of the things you've said, everything is built on lies. Then when you tell your story it shows that it was full of lies.
I think it is about a person, who in the past has lied and all of these lies have built up over time. They want to be rid of them and find their true self, not live a lie anymore just be.. Them and he is telling the person they love most or a person the would trust with their life, that he will find who he really is. Love it!!
I think this song is about how after the end of a relationship, he realized he had changed himself to be who she wanted him to be, not who he had wanted to be. "these are the lies i have created" they don't feel real to him anymore and now he understands it wasn't worth it to be something you aren't.
Or
i see the lies i've created as more like the lies we all create about our lives. The way we rewrite our own personal histories to benefit ourselves. No one is ever completely honest about how they caused things in their life to not turn out right.
When u set back and think of everything, of your thoughts before today.. And it just goes ti figure.. Things that happen... But i will figure things out for myself in th end.
