    Henry Rollins is an interesting dude. Definitely an artist. He was the lead singer of the punk band Black Flag for a period. He has done a one man spoken word tour. He has done quite a bit of acting/movies. Definitely one of a kind.

    Henry Rollins is intellectual. I've always felt that he wrote this song in the "third person" as a public service message to help society see beyond the facade to better guard ourselves. I think Lex sees it as a good break up song because the main character is coming clean and being honest about his behavior... and that's something we all long for after a breakup but rarely get. It's cathartic. Another Rollins song I would highly recommend is "Low Self Opinion", it's another deep rocker!

      Rollins has a great story about meeting David Lee Roth at some function in the early 80s. They both knew each other and Dave pulled out a cold beer from his coat pocket and gave it to Henry and said, "How about THAT?!" Imagine those two talking to each other. That must've been something else. They're of the same mold despite their disparate music styles. Both love talking at the very least, but both are smart and witty and offbeat characters.

    I like this song a lot and stayed up until the middle of the night to hear it on the live stream (I live in England). Henry Rollins was the vocalist for Black Flag, a hardcore punk band which I loved. When they split up, Henry formed his own band and I saw them play on 3 occasions. Always an intense experience, with Henry giving it 100% emotional energy and commitment.

Heck, I even like polka, salsa, mariachi... I appreciate ALL good music and I love the fact that y'all cover such a wide variety of music -especially music from "my era!"

    This song is about dealing with a narcissistic person, a pathological liar, a sociopath.
    Henry Rollins is a very intense person. Highly intelligent, very straightforward, direct and honest in real life. He has had a very crazy life and he has used punk rock, singing for Black Flag, and his solo music, to get his anger and frustrations out and to confront his demons.
    He is actually a very insecure, well mannered, well spoken, polite, and kinda shy person that doesn't like being in the spotlight unless onstage and then he is an animal.
    He is someone I have always looked up to as a human being because he is so real and genuine.

Henry himself thought the comics were a laugh, but cautioned against ever showing them to Glenn in person as he would most definitely not appreciate the humor.

      Fourth vocalist for BLACK FLAG. Most known though. 1. Keith Morris 2. Ron Reyes (Chavo) 3. Dez Cadena, then Henry came in around August of 1981 and cemented the spot. Henry was in a fantastic DC Hardcore/Punk band called S.O.A. (State Of Alert) prior to becoming the singer of Black Flag.

    Rollins the muscle bound punk rocker! You should watch his videos. lol. He and Iggy Pop were wild punk rockers. Iggy was with the Stooges, Rollins with the Black Flag, punk groups.
    Rollins is very bright and involved with a lot of other things outside of music these days. Including politics, acting, author, etc I think yall have seen him on movies before. Also he is muscular as hell ha!

    Mr. Rollins is bringing his spoken word tour to my humble little town (Albany NY) and I'm tempted to go. I've heard it's an experience or "a whole vibe" as the kids would say, but what if I don't like it or have to use the restroom I'd be ascared to get up and walk out.

      1000x YES…every song on “End of Silence”, “Come in and Burn”, and the other songs on this album (Weight) are better than Liar. But this is the only song from Rollins Band I ever heard on the radio or on MTV back in the day, so it’s the only one most people know. It was the “hit”.

    Henry Rollins was shining a light on narcissism. It was like a narcissist's confessional. That line "I'll tell you things you already know, so you will say 'I identify with you so much'." really screwed me up in my 20s as I never believed the guys that seemed to 'get me' :D Cheers for reacting to this.

    Henry is an intense cat but also quite intelligent. Doesn't touch drugs don't even think he drinks alcohol. Dude lifts weights and works from the moment his eyes open until they close. Dude is always amped. He has done a lot of different stuff after gaining notoriety in the mainstream market with Rollins Band. Black Flag was a popular punk band in the 80s but were not tapping into mainstream culture, more kind of underground but they were huge in the punk scene.

    Henry Rollins is an iconic figure in entertainment... Started out as the vocalist for hardcore punk band Black Flag... then reached fame in the 90's as the frontman of Rollins Band... He also starred in roles in a number of movies - 'Heat' (w/ DeNiro, Pacino & Val Kilmer) and 'Johnny Mnemonic' (w/ Keanu Reeves & Ice-T) ... Lately, he's made a living doing spoken word tours... u can hear some of his humorous anecdotes and monologues on UA-cam. He claimed he has ended his musical career after "achieving everything" he set out to do.

    I've always loved this song ever since it was released. My ex-wife absolutely loathed this song. She's my ex because I realized she was a stone cold liar. That's probably why she hated it so much; she felt like it was calling her out, making her think about what a piece of sh** she was. Lex is right, it's a good breakup song. Every time I play it I think about how much she hated hearing it and it puts a smile on my face as I turn the volume up.

    Absolutely worth to listen to. You mentioned it could be a “Breakup Song”. It could be the the thoughts of a full grown narcissist. There are various possibilities an expert “gaslighter”. It could be a person that had to suffer and would rather destroy faith in other people and that would require destroying his own feelings again or confusing (“mess you up and lie to you”). He even said “I don’t know why I feel the need to lie and cause you so much pain. Maybe it’s something inside of me. Something I can’t explain…”.
    I really like his spoken word performances. They are full of information and even humor. He’s quite an artist and I would like to experience that.
    Thank you for covering it.

    It's a song about how people are infected by the harsh realities of social interactions and our desire for them. Hence the reason not only is the antagonist a lier, but he turns thise he comes into contact with into liers as well. He's legendarily secluded and critical of society and people's motives.
