As regards people saying OP for RWBY Volume 2 lied, where do you get this idea? The lyrics are about the end of innocence, putting aside childish things, and questioning one's purpose. All that happened in this Volume. Maybe it did not happen to the extent some expected from the lyrics, but it did happen. Personally speaking:

-I never saw anything that was even remotely close to "end of innocence" or "putting aside childish things". Sure, things got more serious, but I never saw anything I could call "end of innocence".

-I did see the "questioning one's purpose" part...kinda. I mean, we technically got it through Oobleck asking WBY about their reason to be huntresses, and their answers to it, along with how there's obviously more than what they said. However...it didn't have much impact on the plot of the volume. I'm not mad in this aspect as I know things like that get developed later.

Although I seriously wished Ruby was asked that question too. I understand, she's innocent, foolish, and simply loves heroes and fairy tales too much that she doesn't really need a reason to become a huntress. But I want for there to be a reason for Ruby, otherwise it doesn't feel interesting at all compared to the rest. WBY got a bit of character development in that part, why couldn't the R, the Main Main Protagonist get some too?

^Regarding the opening, I'm only mad about a few things, but not to a big extent.
