The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Shuōhuǎng" by the artist "Zhang XinZhe"

Zhang XinZhe's poem "Shuōhuǎng" (literally "Lie") is saturated with bitterness and disappointment from insincerity in a relationship. The lyrical hero addresses his beloved, who, judging by the text, spends nights with someone else. He understands perfectly well what is happening, as evidenced by the lines: "In reality, I know everything, I just don't say it" and "You pretend to be busy, But this is a pretense."

The hero is tormented by insomnia, waiting for his beloved's return and listening to her unconvincing excuses. He feels deceived, as the phrase suggests: "When the rays of light penetrate through the window, He will turn out to be a liar." Despite the pain and resentment, he continues to love and forgive, hoping for a change for the better: "You can rely on me," "I still love you the same way, And I always try to forgive."

However, the hero is tired of lies and pretense. He offers to break off the relationship if his beloved cannot be honest with him and with herself: "If I am not the one you can rely on, Let's stop and not torture ourselves."

The final lines of the poem sound like a call for sincerity. The hero is ready to forgive and forget the betrayals if his beloved simply stops lying: "You don't have to pretend, I will forget everything, Just don't lie."
