Liar Lyrics
you think you're going to live your life alone
in darkness and seclusion... yeah, I know
you've been out there and tried to mix with those animals
and it just left you full of humiliated confusion
so you stagger back home and wait for nothing
but the solitary refinement of your room spits you back onto the streets
and now you're desperate and in need of human contact
and then you meet me and yur whole world changes
because everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear
so you drop all you defenses, and you drop all your fears and you trust me
completely, I'm perfect in every way
'cause I make you feel so strong and so powerfull inside
you feel so lucky
but your ego obscures reality that you never bothered to
wonder why things are going so well
you want to know why?
'cause I'm a liar, yeah, I'm a liar
I'll tear (rip) your mind up, I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me, I'll turn you into me
'cause I'm a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar...
I'll hide behind a smile and understanding eyes
and I'll tell you things that you already know so you can say:
I really identify with you, so much
and all the time that you're needing me is just the time
that I'm bleeding you, don't you get it yet?
I'll come to you like an affliction then I'll leave you like an addiction
you'll never forget me... wou wanna know why?
I don't know why I feel the need to lie and cause you so much pain
maybe it's something inside, maybe it's something I can't explain
'cause all I do is mess you up and lie to you
I'm a liar, ooh, I'm a liar
but if you'll give me another chance I swear I'll never lie to you again
'cause now I see the destructive power of a lie,
they're stronger than truth
I ca't believe I ever hurt you, I swear I will never lie to you again
please, just give me more chance, I'll never lie to you again, no,
I swear, I will never tell a lie, I will neer tell a lie, no, no
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Sucker! Sucker! Sucker!
I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar
I lie you, I feel good, I am a liar, yeah
I lie X4 ooh, I lie, yeah, I lie
I'm a liar, I lie, I like it, I feel good, I like it, and again
I like it again and I'll keep lying, I'll promise
in darkness and seclusion... yeah, I know
you've been out there and tried to mix with those animals
and it just left you full of humiliated confusion
so you stagger back home and wait for nothing
but the solitary refinement of your room spits you back onto the streets
and now you're desperate and in need of human contact
and then you meet me and yur whole world changes

It's a perfect portrait of a narcopath; someone who is a psychopath, sociopath or narcissist. And it is absolutely spot-on from beginning to end. Professors should use this song to explain the dark triad personality traits. Rollins is a genius.
I think this song i self explaintory to be quiet honest lol.
I think it's about a lonely girl meeting this guy who is acting as her knight in shining armor. But it's all and act, he's a liar, he's no knight, he's an ass! And sadly it's just his nature to be bad to her but he in show way can't live without her but he's not going to change.
i love this song, i love him...mmm-hmm.
I think this song is directed to the listener, even if in some parts seems that he interacts with an hypothetical girl.
@RockyFra Ive always wandered how much of this manipulative liar personality can really be found in Henry Rollins.

to me it means to try an be carefoul of the peole that sorrounds you, to be aware of people who like to lie and hurt everyone, of the pleasure of missleading and deceive. And how someone can forge a big lie to make believe that he is someone he is not, and that is to me unaceptable.
i love the part when he goes from "realizing" he's caused so much pain, seeing "the destructive power of a lie" (funniest goddamn line in the whole song, by the way, considering what happens afterwards), and then the music gets aggressive again and he does that laugh... oh man, i lose it every time.
Small detail: IN the songs there's an out in this line:
but the solitary refinement of your room spits you back [OUT] onto the streets
The Beavis and Butthead version of this is funny.
He's not taking this break up well.
It's about lying, if I didn't know any better.
This is one of the best lyrics ever
