Carl wrote this about a season of struggling with lust, when he idolized the girl he was with and believed she was the one and only. Over time he saw that the enemy was using that obsession and desire to deceive him. The song turns into a declaration aimed straight at Satan: I see what you're doing now, and you don't control me anymore.
Deceived lyrics
When I see you are there Stopped in sound when I hear your voice My heart it won't stop beating I love you touching me Here we go, whispers in the skies And I believed everything before me I believed you were the one To bring the truth and the life I need See it fall before my eyes My breath, the last breath my soul What you conjured up and whatcha lookin for And I can see the hollow look in your eyes Drowning in your lies I can feel you pull away I can hear your empty words I can see you are the masquerade When I hear you call my name I'll be writing songs about your strife It doesn't matter what you say I won't give you the time Half-hearted, torn by your lies I felt the fire rush in through my veins Pressing down deep in my core Can't see the cares that you ever gave You played me like a fool Left me in a mess I can't contain Sealed the mark you carved on this heart Was just a pawn in this game you played Drowning in your lies I can feel you pull away I can hear your empty words I can see you are the masquerade When I hear you call my name I'll be writing songs about your strife It doesn't matter what you say I won't give you the time Don't know why I stayed so long This vicious cycle held me to the wall I can't find the words to express You left my heart into a broken mess Made me think there's no one else Your twisted words are cruel and bleed right out Saw right through those darkened eyes I can see you are the devil in disguise Drowning in your lies I can feel you pull away I can hear your empty words I can see you are the masquerade When I hear you call my name I'll be writing songs about your strife It doesn't matter what you say I won't give you the time Drowning in your lies I can feel you pull away I can hear your empty words I can see you are the masquerade When I hear you call my name I'll be writing songs about your strife It doesn't matter what you say I won't give you the time
