about

Art.Oli.B's first single, Betrayer is an 80s minimalist style synthwave / experimental synth pop song about the experience of knowing, living with, or being hurt by someone who betrays your trust, your friendship, your family, your love, your life, of being constantly lied to, gaslit, manipulated, but finally discovering the truth and overcoming their lies and toxicity. It speaks directly to that person, and lets them know you'll never fall for it again.

lyrics

Betrayer song lyrics:

Traitor (spoken in multiple languages)

You seem to think that I’m crazy,
or so you’ve told somebody else (whisper: everybody)
but I am not the psycho here
the liar, the thief, the coquetier

You seem to think the truth is hazy
it’s only so to you (whisper: everybody knows)
cause I am not the psycho here
the liar, the thief, the buccaneer

You’re just an empty promise
Just something to admonish

Chorus:
Oh come betrayer
you’ve no more claim
you’ve no more game
Oh come betrayer
your guise is shone
your façade is done
laid bare betrayer

You seem to think I’m such a fool
but no, I’m on to you (whisper: cheater)
cause I am not the psycho here
the liar, the thief, the racketeer

You seem to think lies are a tool
you can’t recall the truth (whisper: liar)
so I am not the psycho here
the liar, the thief, the puppeteer

You built my trust
you narcissistic fu** (slap)
out for yourself and no one else
you’ll fail me not again

Chorus

Ay deja ya (Spanish: Oh stop that)
Stop

Yeah, ok, this is how it goes

Oh come believer
can’t you see he’s conned you too
Oh come believer
you’ll find you’re just as screwed

Chorus
