lyrics

Wayna is the lead character in Deep End by Nisi Shawl, a transplanted personality hoping with all her strength that she will be reunited with her lover once the body she's been managing is settled on a planetary colony. This song is about feeling like you can't achieve what your body should because your mind is damaged and you've been crushed by insults and jibes from others. It's about having no strength and feeling powerless. It's about wanting to be saved from a state of emotional and mental destitution by a man. Wayna is a strong woman who comes to the conclusion that she doesn't need her male lover. I wish I could be as strong as Wayna.

Cheat and lie, I'll stay with this cheat and lie routine
Til I meet a nice boy
Who won't mind my dirty soul

While I grow cold
Nursing a lie of my own
There goes my mind
Staring at your diary there on the bed

While I grow cold
Nursing a lie of my own
There goes everything, you know
You could have it so much better

Cheat and lie, I've got this cheat and lie thing going
Til I meet a nice boy
Who won't mind my dirty soul

Keeping you with me
Was ever so easy
Keeping you happy, well
Words I couldn't hear

There's a possibility
In the sky
Some words
Outline our future
Together or apart
There's a chance
Everything will be fine

Could you just fly away today?
Reach up, grab those words
There's a chance
Everything will be fine

While I grow cold
Nursing a lie of my own
I couldn't stop myself
With your diary there on the bed

Cheat and lie
I've got this cheat and lie thing going
Til I meet a nice boy
Who won't mind my dirty soul
