Growing up in Malibu, California, she began learning the violin at the age of four and left regular school five years later with the goal of becoming a world-class violinist; she practiced eight or nine hours a day and read a wide range of literature. Progressing to writing her own music, she studied under various teachers and went to Indiana University, which she left over issues regarding the relationship between classical music and the appearance of the performer. Through her own independent label Traitor Records, Autumn debuted with her classical album On a Day: Music for Violin & Continuo, followed by the release in 2003 of her album Enchant.
She appeared in singer Courtney Love's backing band on her 2004 America's Sweetheart tour and returned to Europe. She released the 2006 album Opheliac with the German label Trisol Music Group. In 2007, she released Laced/Unlaced; the re-release of On a Day... appeared as Laced with songs on the electric violin as Unlaced. She later left Trisol to join New York-based The End Records in 2009 and release Opheliac in the United States, where previously it had only been available as an import. Currently she is on tour to promote her newest album Fight Like A Girl. She played the role of Painted Doll in Darren Lynn Bousman's 2012 film The Devil's Carnival.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to be your faithful one
I want to show you all the beauty you don't even know you hold
I'm hurting you for your own good
I'd die for you, you know I would
I'd give up all my wealth to buy you back the soul you never sold
I want to mix our blood and put it in the ground
I want to win your trust, your faith, your heart
You'll never be deceived
Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, Liar
I want you to heal you pretty sweet
(I want to heal you pretty sweet )
I'll throw rose petals at your feet
I'll spend eternity comparing all my poetry to yours
I want to see love through your eyes
(I'll throw rose petals at your feet )
You'll never have to compromise
I'd give up all my fame to bite your demons and your bloody woes
I want to mix our blood and put it in the ground
So you can never leave

You'll never be deceived

The song "Liar" by Emilie Autumn is a hauntingly beautiful and disturbing piece that explores the obsession and possession of a person. The song starts with the singer expressing their desire to hold the person they are addressing to the sun, to be their faithful one, and to show them all the beauty they hold which they are unaware of. However, the singer is also hurting the person for their own good and is willing to die for them. The following lines reveal the extent of the singer's possessiveness and obsession as they want to mix their blood and put it in the ground so that the person can never leave.
The song then turns into a series of repetitions of the word "liar" which could be interpreted in a few ways. It could be the singer calling the person a liar or it could be a reflection of the singer's own lies, indicating that they are lying to themselves about the real nature of their obsession. The song then ends with the repetition of the desire to mix their blood and put it in the ground, showing the singer's obsessive desire to possess the person they are addressing.
The lyrics of the song indicate a dark and twisted relationship, with themes of obsession, possession, and control. The repetition of the phrase "I want to mix our blood and put it in the ground" is especially chilling, as it shows the extent to which the singer is willing to go to keep the person they are addressing under their control.

Wow, I think I've officially found my favorite version of liar... just the right amount of hate and spite, nicely dispersed throughout the song. I like the harmony ASP adds as well.
