I Know

I Know

It's an obvious lie—just look and you'll see it

It's invisible to the eye, yet the sign seeps through

Go left, go right— which is the right answer?

If that's the obvious lie

yeah yeah yeah

I Know

I can see through the fake

On the page where layered lies are turned over

yeah yeah yeah

Your lie

Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe (I Know)

A close hint comes into focus

Understanding every difference properly

real eyes realize real lies

Struggling, you can't hide your tail

Lock onto the fleeing prey

Heart opened—shall we talk now?

A mismatched, scattered puzzle

How does that heart‑pounding feeling feel?

I can see through the fake

On the page where layered lies are turned over (I Know)

I Know (yes)

Key Grammar Structures

• 見え見えlie　見ればわかるeye

  ➔ Conditional –ば

  ➔ The verb "見れば" is the conditional form of 見る. It means “if you see”.

• 目に見えない　けど染み出るsign

  ➔ Conjunction けど (but)

  ➔ "けど" connects two contrasting clauses: "目に見えない" (invisible) and "染み出る" (to seep out).

• その見え見えlie　なら

  ➔ Conditional –なら (if/when)

  ➔ "なら" attaches to a noun phrase "その見え見えlie" to mean “if that lie is …”.

• 見抜けてるフェイク

  ➔ Progressive –ている (colloquial -てる)

  ➔ "見抜けてる" is the contracted form of "見抜いている", indicating a continuing state of “seeing through”.

• 重ねた嘘がめくれるページで

  ➔ Subject marker が and location particle で

  ➔ The clause "嘘がめくれる" uses が to mark "嘘" as the subject, and で indicates the place "ページ" where the action occurs.

• もがいても尻尾を隠せていない

  ➔ Even‑if ても and negative progressive ていない

  ➔ "もがいても" means “even if (someone) struggles”, and "隠せていない" is the negative progressive of "隠す" (to hide).

• 話そうか

  ➔ Volitional + か (suggestion/question)

  ➔ "話そうか" uses the volitional form "話そう" (let’s talk) followed by "か" to turn it into a tentative question: “Shall we talk?”

• 嘘付けば付くほど

  ➔ Conditional ば + comparative ほど (the more …, the more …)

  ➔ "付けば" is the conditional form of "付く" (to attach). "ほど" means “the more …, the more …”. Together they express “the more you attach a lie, the more it shows”.

• 心割って　さぁ　話そうか

  ➔ Te‑form connection (verb‑te + next clause)

  ➔ "割って" is the te‑form of "割る" (to break). It links to the next clause "話そうか", creating a sequence: “Break (open) your heart, then…”.
