Echoes of Deceit is a powerful song that delves into the dark world of online influencers who propagate misinformation. With a candid and conversational tone, the lyrics shine a light on the hypocrisy of those who mislead their followers and then conveniently forget their past actions. This track is a raw and unfiltered commentary on accountability in the digital age, calling for transparency and honesty.
Verse 1:
You can't get rid of this, pound for pound, top tier shame
Spewed lies like, like lies don't die, inscribed by your own hands
Scrolling through feeds, your words like blades, piercing hearts and minds
You say ‘I didn’t mean it’ but the damage is done, the truth left behind.
Chorus:
Oh, the echoes of deceit, they linger on, they linger strong
How easy it is to just forget, pretend you never played along.
Verse 2:
Peddling dreams, you wear your masks, smiling behind screens
Playing the hero when you’re the villain actually pulling the strings.
And when the tide turns, you’ll wipe your slate, cry innocence anew,
But that stain on your soul, it stains us too, it stains us too.
Chorus:
Oh, the echoes of deceit, they linger on, they linger strong
How easy it is to just forget, pretend you never played along.
Bridge:
You’re dancing on the graves of thoughts, our trust, you’ve torn apart
Runaway from the truth when it’s time to confront your heart.
Verse 3:
Reschedule the narrative, reframe the lies, hold your breath, no compromise,
But somewhere in the shadows, the whispers won’t fade, they keep our hopes alive.
Outro:
So here’s a toast to accountability, to all who take the fall,
For every sidestep, every excuse, we’ll rise and answer the call.
Echoes of deceit, they linger on, let’s break this cycle once and for all.

Song is about influencers who share mass misinformation online and then pretending they never did.
I don't want the lyrics to be forced into a rhyming, prefer lyrics to have more of a conversational tone.
currently the lyrics I have are
"You can't get rid of this, pound for pound, top tier shame
Spewed lies like, like lies don't die, inscribed by your own hands"
