Michael's answer is correct, but he is not referring to the phrase that you are talking about.
It just means "to be in," for example:
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. This means beauty depends on the person looking.

If I said "lie in", I would be referring to waking up in the morning and deciding that my bed was warm and so I should stay in it. I would "lie in".
