We tell ourselves to feel powerful, desired, and seen. Sweet Lies explores what happens when the mirror finally tells the truth.
Sweet Lies is not a love story. It is a mirror.
This blues-driven visual narrative follows two ordinary people living parallel illusions—each mistaking reflection for truth, attention for meaning, and fantasy for identity.
Key Takeaways
In this video, you’ll explore how self-deception works quietly and symmetrically.
How glamour, status, and proximity can turn ordinary lives into imagined power.
And how recognition arrives not through rejection or triumph, but through seeing the illusion for what it is—on both sides of the glass.

Sweet Lies
Verse 1
You came to me in quiet hours, soft and slow,
Promising comfort only you could know.
A little warmth on a cold, cold night,
But every kiss just steals the light.
Chorus
Sweet lies, whispering my name,
Dripping honey on the flame.
You lift me high, then let me fall,
Sweet lies, I believed it all.
Verse 2
You wear your colors bright and kind,
A painted dream inside my mind.
Wrapped in joy that fades too fast,
You never loved, you just outlast.
Chorus
Sweet lies, whispering my name,
Dripping honey on the flame.
You lift me high, then let me fall,
Sweet lies, I believed it all.
Verse 3
You taste like peace, but you burn like sin,
I swear I won’t, then I dive right in.
You say you love me, but it’s control,
Leaving sugar scars on my soul.
Bridge
You say “just one more bite,” and I give in,
You’re the battle I can’t win.
You smile sweet and twist the truth,
Every craving steals my youth.
