“I want to be your lie” was born as a small praise of lies, understood not as a malicious deception, but as a protected space in which to reinvent oneself. The narrator looks at "beautiful lies"—the ones we wear like colorful umbrellas under the salt of life, high heels on the cobblestones of discomfort—to explain how often, in adulthood as in adolescence, we need masks to find the courage to be ourselves.

In the chorus, desire is reversed: “and I would like to be your lie” It becomes a declaration of love and admiration for those who know how to self-determine, even at the cost of building a different reality. Between minimalist piano and intimate cello, the piece maintains a whispered, almost confidential tone, like a secret whispered between two people who choose to embrace each other even in their most fragile fictions.
