Rather Lie has slowly creeped up as my favorite song on MUSIC. The more I listen, the more I feel like I’m picking up on hidden meaning
Listen to the message of the song then compare it to the relationship he has with his fans. Carti is fully acknowledging that he can use his power, status, and aura in his relationship to make his love interest forget about all of his flaws and shortcomings. Carti’s a textbook example love-bomber, and he only reverts to doing after a major f*** up/loss of aura occurs in his life.
Basically, I think Carti intentionally used AI to get this album done faster to appease his fans. MUSIC is pretty far from being gkmc, but I think Rather Lie is a nod to the way he treats his relationship with being a musician vs being a celebrity. Also a reflection of how he views his relationship with fans. He says he doesn’t want to lose them but simultaneously he knows he holds all the power in this relationship. ngl Carti spazzed on this bih if all of this was intentional

Need Weeknd only version

Carti song for people who hate Carti
