What does “anything you say will be used against you in court” exactly mean?

Is it really “anything” and how will it be used? Never thought about it, but it sounds kind of strange.

Let’s say you murder someone. The police suspect you did it, so they interview you. One thing they ask is where you were when the murder happened. Imagine you lie and say you were at the bowling alley.

Fast forward to your trial. The prosecution will bring up the police officer who will testify that you said you were at the bowling alley. Then they show security camera footage from the night in question which proves you were never at the bowling alley! The jury will realize you lied, and so you probably are the murderer.
