Dance With Monsters

There are times when it feels like the world is full of voices telling us what to think, how to feel, and what to follow. “Lie With the Saints” was written as a response to that culture of influence. The song asks why so many people put their trust in figures who do not deserve it, who either do not know what they are doing or simply do not care about the damage they cause. It is a critique of the influencer mindset and a reflection on how easily people can be led when they are searching for answers.

The verses weave images of false leaders calling for wars that never arrive, setting fires they cannot contain, and hiding behind pride while their lies spread. These characters march with conviction but without purpose, propped up by delusion and controlled by those who hold real power. Their words may sound convincing, but the song exposes them as empty, harmful, and unworthy of the trust they demand.

The chorus makes the central point clear. This was never a war, so what are you fighting for? It is a call-out to those who manufacture causes for the sake of ego or profit. The song paints the struggle on walls that fade as quickly as the next trending ideology. In the end, the lines they draw are fake, offering nothing more than a choice between dancing with monsters or lying with saints.

The bridge drives home the warning. Believing your way is the only way, speaking loudly enough to sway the masses, does not make you right. Pride and blame may keep people locked in place, but change is impossible without self-reflection.

“Lie With the Saints” is not just about pointing fingers at influencers or false leaders. It is about the responsibility we all share to look deeper, to question who we follow, and to remember that pride without truth only leads us further astray.
