Flenn – Liyam Lyrics ( English Translation)
[Verse 1]
Life shows so many faces
Oh Lord, protect me from the friend who breaks trust.
The past is gone, faded into dust,
yet I still see that tear as it fell.
I thought I was clever, calculated it all,
placed my faith and watched it fall.
My life passed in a blink
when death comes for me, there’s no price at all.
It’s fine if your road is far,
oh pure one, the orphan still walks toward you.
I come carrying my mother’s prayers
my load is heavy, but you never knew.
[Chorus]
My heart leaned toward you — only you.
To me, you were my family.
So why did you throw away the trust we shared?
The days, oh the days…
The days were wasted for nothing.
People have turned into liars.
[Verse 2]
No word holds true today.
Innocence has closed its book for good.
A soul is priced in millions now
and our years together meant nothing when greed stood.
You waste years, none get out clean.
The days keep turning — remember that well.
If you hold a secret, guard your tongue.
I’ve seen the strong crush the weak with wealth,
men with no shoulder to lean on.
I’ve seen a father cry for his children
he didn’t wait for time to rebel.
You may struggle and find nothing at all.
Be patient through trials if you’re wise.
When a man shows you kindness, stay by his side.
[Outro]
It was only days — and they slipped away.
The days, oh the days…
The days were wasted as a loss.
📖 Lyrics Meaning
This song is a lament about betrayal, the passage of time, and the harsh realities of life. The speaker reflects on a friendship or close relationship that ended in broken trust (“the friend who betrays”). They had calculated everything, trusted deeply, but life passed quickly, and death is indifferent. The “pure one” (possibly a spiritual figure or a beloved person) is distant, yet the speaker still walks toward them, armed only with a mother’s prayers.
The chorus mourns wasted days and the loss of loyalty — “people have turned into liars.” In the second verse, the speaker observes a world where innocence is gone, souls are measured by money, and long companionship means nothing when temptation appears. They warn to guard secrets and be patient. They also note the cruelty of the powerful crushing the weak, and a father’s despair. The final advice: when someone treats you kindly, stay loyal.
