"Lie" is the first single by Black Light Burns from their debut album Cruel Melody. It is set to go to radio on March 20, with a music video coming soon after.
Song Information
Lie was the first full Black Light Burns song Wes Borland had shown to the public. Previously, various samples were available on the band's MySpace page, but on March 29, 2007, Borland put up the full version of Lie, after responding to some controversial remarks from the other members of Limp Bizkit. This led to many fans believing the lyrics in the song were meant to discredit his former bandmates, and the time he spend in the band. The song contained lines such as "I'm living a lie, and it's not the best thing for me" and "I follow these pigs around, but I never get used to it". The song notably features an unusual and flashy solo at the end, something missing from Borland's previous works. As a whole, the song is an unusual blend of extremely dark guitar driven music and programmed drums. The chorus of the song was co-written by Wes Borland and Richard Patrick (Filter, Army of Anyone, The Damning Well)
