	Story Behind the Song Helen Mountford, a well known Melboune musician, played cello on this track while very pregnant. The song took longer to write than most, particularly the lyrics which have gone through many changes. The song hints at secrets, unfullfilled dreams, and inability to communicate deep feelings and shameful thoughts. Dark and mysterious. Lyrics Stupid Lies We can cry at the old movies When we think that no one's there And hope that no one's listening As we kneel to say our prayers For it's still too much to compromise Or say we really care And so we keep pretending it's dust in our eyes How can we tell apart the truth from all those stupid lies The trick with the mirror Holds the key to your success It's in your reflection Each extravagant excess There are ways to cover the sorrow that you feel And so you keep pretending it's dust in your eyes How can you tell apart the truth from all those stupid lies In that moment when you realise There's an empty space to fill That never feels satisfied For everything you do out of fear In a painful world How can you stand tall When you have so much to hide The secret thoughts of hunters As they feel the rushing thrill Holds some fascination for me So quiet and so still If I should have a passion That would make me wish to kill It would course through me like poison like the things I despise How can I tell apart the truth From all those stupid lies
