 B. What the moral message of the song?

answer :
after we interpret and interpret all the lyrics of the song, it is clear that the song is about the vocalist Imagine Dragons
and Reynold who openly admit all the mistakes he has done to his lover. In the lyrics of the song itself it is clear that
Reynolds gracefully admits all the mistakes he admits that he often causes problems he often says and so on by
admitting all his mistakes and trying to be honest with his lover makes Raynald feel that he is a bad liar a good liar is a
liar who does not admit his lies while a bad conception is a liar who admits all his mistakes that is the exact analogy.
Renold in this song also hopes that all his confession and honesty can be accepted by his lover and cannot be trusted by
his lover.

what we can make from this song is that many people are reluctant to admit their mistakes because

they are consumed by their egos and our prestige is too proud to apologize when the mistakes are too embarrassed to
admit themselves this is a mistake even though other people sometimes can respect us more if we want to admit the
mistakes of just pretend to be perfect this song teaches us to admit all our mistakes and try to be honest because
admitting ourselves to be wrong can make us a better person we can't wear masks and pretend to be the most perfect
person even though in reality we have there are so many mistakes and flaws in yourself.
