I Lie All The Time from A Moonless Night by Snowapple Collective (Official Video)

The Clerk presents: I Lie All The Time! Laidback LA vibes, with a slinking drumbeat and shimmering keys and more than a touch of soul. The witty, poetic and political spoken word interludes of Laurien SHE Snowapple and Aryeh-Or recall Gil Scott-Heron’s classics.

I Lie All The Time is part of Snowapple’s ‘A Moonless Night’ project. Snowapple’s latest album comes from a dystopian universe, viewed through the prism of a dream or a kaleidoscope. In addition to the music, the project consists of a 60 minute, surrealist art film and a book of poetry. The film is directed by: Eva Schumacher, Nora Tinholt and Laurien SHE Snowapple.

The music of 'A Moonless Night' came out on vinyl, CD (available from Zip Records or at all tour dates) and streaming services on Friday 4 October, 2024.

The vinyl and CD contain 26 tracks including bonus tracks and poems from the film, while a streamlined version of the album with 10 songs is available for streaming.

[Spoken]
We all got a false speaking tongue
But the words fall on deaf ears
When your mind tells the truth to the dump
The machine keeps running on fear

[Sung]
I lie all the time
And I just keep getting better
Should I tell the truth
I just place the blame on you

[Spoken]
There once was a man in a tower, who reverberated
That he deliberately spread misinformation
And he smiled with perverse titillation
As the population turned on itself
One hipster adviser estimated that
It would only be a matter of time,
The attacks.
Does your analyst have the needed italicized depth
Of investment ideas to prophesize whose lie is best?

[Sung]
You even lie about the weather
Are you suddenly telling the truth?
Who is bombing who?

[Spoken]
Opposing opinions spread panic
Unhindered by national borders
The wise man take orders from algorithms
And stay silent
Our dreams are manufactured in mass by the lowest bidder
While we dance around in circles
Drunk on false sense of choice

[Sung]
We lie all the time
We even lie about the weather
Why do our lies tell the truth?
That's just what humans do

[Spoken]
As the safety blanket of our old beliefs wears thin
Moral fibers torn by a too long game of tug of war
Back and forth we force feed our “shoulds”
Through clenched teeth and intravenous tubes.
Tied to the bedpost of our immoral infirmary
Still hope streams in on sun beams
Muted rainbows refracting through cracked glass
And a dove drops the olive branch

[Sung]
All lies all the time
All lies all the time
(I don't care about the weather)
Is the mirror reflecting the truth?
Or am I just looking through you?

[Spoken]
After they shot us, they started to step on us
And one of the men asked the other to check whether we were all dead

Maybe I am dead?
Am I dead?

Peace wasn’t implemented as it should be
Shame turned into fear
All of our tongues became numb
And we all have false hearing ears
When we speak our lies to each other
The man in the tower smiles wide
And I just keep getting better
Now I’ve got nothing left to hide

Now you tell me
Was that a lie?
