Lyrical Meaning

The songs introduction is written in the form of a poem, to describe the feeling of pain and suffering during the aftermath of a serious life chancing breakup. While the song reflects on a past marriage Fierce experienced, the song also talks about the possible meaning during certain arguments she had with her ex-lover, coming into realization that he indeed lied often. During the storytelling of this heartbreak, Fierce reflects on her feeling of his new lover, that despite their happiness, he's still a liar. Fierce also, shows signs of jealousy as she starts wishing nothing but the worst for her ex-lover and his new wed to be. In contraction to her own words she wishes that he should of kept "the ring on". Meaning, that the after some time being separated with her ex-lover, Steph comes into realization that with no doubt she's unfairly being replaced by a new woman and she somehow wished to still be him. According to the lyrics content, the song is believed to be directed at Johnny Johnson.


Background and Development

Ultimately, when I wrote “Liar”, I already had the song envisioned in my head, it wasn’t something I wrote from scratch. Matter of fact, some of the melodies where already living in my head for a while now, and surprisingly, they were the first to come out when I started to experiment on the soundboard for the new album. From what I’ve written, this song is kind of like a piece of a dramatic short film. It did come from a true place because in my life I've dealt witht his exact situatuon, only this time I'm in the position of reflecting back on it. However, I didn't know what I was getting myself into when recording this song. There was so much tension going on in my life, that I just felt numb when recording. With the fact that I didn't think I was goin to be recording, especially with the anouncemant of my hiatus. However, I think that's why Daniel took advantage of the moment by challening me.

I think this sound just brings a total different approach from what I've been doing the past two-three albums. In terms of vocalization and how the song builds up, It is quite shocking! No one expects a song to be in acapaella for about 4 minutes and then transition into a whole different sounding song without sounding like a mess. I can honestly sya that with this song I experimented with my voice a little more than I have in the past. I would say that it's a bit more sonic .I had to learn how to break it down and make it sound more thin but sonic at the same time. Which was hard for me, because my vocals are abit thicker and can fall in the Once again I'm just challenging myself as a vocalist.

I wrote the idea for the song and me and Daniel began working in the studio immideately, adding piece by piece. Obviously, we didn't feel limited, so we just sort carried on with what we were doing without forming a structure, which is why the acapella lasts for a good 4 minutes, until the violin melodies come creeping in with a more medolic backbone. There was this special moment in the studio, when Daniel reached out to me to remind me that the song was already 4 minutes in, before any real "medolic" sound was introduced. I simply told him that it was ok, and that excited him a bit more.

Eventually, we just made like 20 cuts for this song and each cut we added something different and different, making the song sound better each time. That's how eventually ended up having this epic family of violinists in the form of an orchestra working together, to differentiate each part of the song. It was just crazy how insane this song was developing each time. I remember that the first cut served only of violins. It didn't have that oopmph the final version has. Then the next cut we decided to add flutes, then the next cut we decide to add a tamborine, then the next we decided to add more air, then the next we decided to add this backdrops of random noise that we made on the soundboard. It was very complex. Until finally the song sounded exactly like I envisioned it. I nearly just darn out cried tears of joy because my voice was hurting at that point, I had been awake for 52 hours and I could feel the song and what I just done with my lyrics. I felt like a true artist and that moment was magical. You would think that at this point in my career I would be very bored and broken, but It felt like the very first time with this song in particular.

Composition

The song begins with a sound which is produced by violins and an ambiance that's orchestrated by a vintage soundboard. With a hushed quiet intensity, Steph vocals become present and she sings in an almost acapella form. Her voice sounds more high pitched than usual, but remains a rich but soft and almost whispered texture. The sound of ambiance produced by violins and a soundboard continues but this time with the company of more violent violin strokes. As the song progresses, Steph's vocals become more present and harmonized as the violins fade in an out at a continuous pace, each moment in differentiation of the next. By the time the second verse comes in, the sounds matures a little more, as some of the lyrics are sung with more emphasize and eventually Steph introduces a more upscale set of notes. Once again, the violin composition keeps growing a little more present and melodic until everything comes to a halt. During this moment, the whole production goes completely quiet, as a more forceful and hoarse note is heard with the spooky stroke of violins. A flute is then introduced alongside the violins and the song's more melodic pace returns hinting a dramatic climax. Once the 4 minutes of acapella comes to a finish, a more fast paced production, with a more pulsating harmony is introduced. Almost dancy in its discretion, Steph's vocals also grow more angry and horse. Meanwhile, in the background a family of violins are heard alongside a smashing tambourine and groovy like flute that was introduced after the long unexpected pause earlier in the song. During this climax, Steph's vocals grow longer and angrier as the outro comes to a finish with sharp dramatic violins going off until eventually fading out in complete.

"Liar" Lyrics:

"Like an ember,
fighting a rain storm
one can only suffer,
for so long.....
I remember
all those endless fights
I was so young back then,
I thought I was gonna be strong enough to put up the fight
But I was wrong
My heart was robbed from my very eyes
They sure did warned me and told me...
Every first love dies!
but I will rise
I'll return, yeah eh
This beast isn't tame
You will learn
I will rise
I'll return
Even being what you are
There is no other choice
but for you to LIIEE
I never meant to hurt you
I swear I din't mean those things I said
I never meant to do that to you
next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead
Oh does she love you
what she's capable to do
Does she take you like I do
oh you fucked her, she was good yeah
does she take it like I do
whoa oh, ooh oh Like ooh oh oh....
Do you want me again, should I believe
You always told me that you loved me
but sometimes I wondered if I should of believed
Oh I loved you, God I loved you
I'd slay a dragon for you
Oh, DIE!
but i will rise, I will return
THIS BEAST ISN'T TAME!
You will learn
and I will rise
You'll see me return
Even being what you are
There is no other choice
but for you to LIE!
When you should of kept the ring on
you should of kept the ring on
Then I wouldn't even tried it
and I would've known
And I wouldn't have pulled you tighter
No I wouldn't have pulled you close
I wouldn't have screamed
No I can't let you go
even when the door is closed
No I wouldn't have pulled you to me
No I wouldn't have kissed your face
You wouldn't have begged me to hold you
You haven't done the same in the first place
Ah but I know you wanted me to beg oh oh
Every lie that you threw burns inside now
Oh Oh, but you should of kept the ring on
you should of kept the ring on
LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIARRRRRRRRR! oh
LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIARRRRRRRRR! oh
I use to be so afraid, now she better share your grave
Tried to give you a chance, but you still threw it away
you're still a liar
you still a liar
you're still a liar!
