Question about English (US)
This is a part of lyric;
All my life they told me
I would never succeed
Put me down, controlled me
Made me follow their lead
Bought the lies they sold me
For too long, I am finally free
1. I think "put me down" means "they silenced me," did I get that right?
2. I think "bought the lies they sold me" means "I knew they told me a lie, but I had to pretend I believe it," did I get that right?
Thank you in advance.

1. "To put someone down" = to belittle, to insult someone (in this case)
2. I bought the lies they sold me = I believed the lies they told me (not pretended, believed them for real)
