The raw emotion and intensity of Jelly Roll in Liar with lyricism and personal struggles warrior. His voice holds hurt and resolves as he weaves pain and anger around themes of falsehood and degradation. With such heavy guitars and pounding drums creating the energy, it becomes a punching-bag scenario where every word only gets more impactful. He even has frustration and determination in the way he sings the chorus, a sense of fighting to rise against the lies that trap you.
The lyrics evoke someone who has been deceived and played but is not going to lie down. Jelly Roll’s emotional delivery makes the song feel intimate as if he’s addressing the listener directly. No One Of You. The combination of rock and country feels unique; the song is wild and daring.

The most potent aspect of Liar is its honesty. The song is not only about anger it’s about growing and moving on. Throughout the song, reminiscent of Breaking the Habit, bringing the electronica vibe, the pace intensifies as the narrator talks about overcoming pain. This song is one of Jelly Roll’s most powerful performances and contains his signature storytelling mixed in with powerful melodies.
That same intensity runs through Devil Down, a song that delves into the wars we wage with addiction and restraint. Whereas Liar is about trying to escape the lies, Devil Down is about the struggle to escape lousy behavior. The eerie lyrics and refusing, immersive melody evoke a darkly uplifting state. Jelly Roll’s voice feels lived in, hoarse and thick with regret and temptation, with every word a lived truth.
