THE BITCH/BASTARD LIED TO YOU!

Tiny Vessels – Death Cab for Cutie

This song is tricky. If that bitch lied (presumably about not fucking someone else), I would like her to know that I haven’t loved her for a really long time. Listening to this song, I think she would get the idea. The idea that I’m thinking ‘she is beautiful but she doesn’t mean a thing to me’ is devastating. There is nothing nice or pleasant or sweet about this song. There is a underlying sentiment of pure, black hatred in this beautifully presented musical arrangement and that’s probably what needs to be conveyed in this situation. If she lied about using the last of the mayonnaise or something equally innocuous however, I would change my selection to “Livin’ on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi. – JRN

Cute Without The ‘E’-Taking Back Sunday

I don’t care how cool you think you are.  How mature and grown-up and together.  When somebody lies to you, that black ball of betrayal ferments into this pouty, whiny little bitchmonster that renders you a 14 year old emo kid again.  Hence, Taking Back Sunday.  I’m going to use this space to publicly defend Emo as a genre.  It is the opposite of today’s wave of hipster, detached, irony-based rock.  Sure, it’s sappy and simplistic for the most part, but so was punk rock, and that mattered, and so does this other shitty music I like.-KRC

Apologize – One Republic

I’m the type of person that when someone wrongs me I cut them off completely. So if I was lied to then that is what id to. I’m assuming I was cheated on in this scenario and I just wont put up with that. This song is about how in love he is with her and when she fucks it up as much as it pains him he’d rather cut her off then continue putting himself in that potential situation again. I feel like I’m the same way. So peace out bitch and listen to this melodramatic song while I’m walking out on you. Oh and Timbaland, just adding in some ‘hey hey hey’s’ in the background of this song does not make this shit yours. Calm down son and respect. -RC

Liar Liar- The Used

When that bitch/bastard lies to you, it’s going to hurt. You’ve presumably shared a good amount of good times with this person, all the while thinking you could trust each other with anything. And although you’d like to think of yourself as a mature, rational adult who can keep calm in any situation, you can’t. You will freak out, either to that person’s face or intenrally. And instead of being that collected, cool you that’s in your head, you will devolve to a child just screaming and wailing the first thing you knew about liars-they’re pants are on fire, and depending on what part of the country you grew up in, they also hang from telephone wires. Which I always thought meant lynching. Don’t lie kids- we’ll set you afire and hang your ass out as a warning. -MG

Another Lonely Day – Ben Harper

When people lie to me I get hurt.  I don’t get angry or want to retaliate, I usually just find a corner to curl up in and prepare to spend some good time sulking until I feel like moving on.  This song brilliantly captures the forlornness of feeling like you’re all by yourself in this world, surrounded by emptiness.  I suppose it isn’t as hopeless as all that, but if I want to revel in all of that shit, then Ben Harper is the best way to do it. Picturing him all alone with his guitar singing this tender song in the middle of a vast stage, I feel like he understands me.  That is unless HE too is a liar, in which case I gotta go find a new sulking corner. -LF

Unsuccessfully Coping With the Natural Beauty of Infidelity – Type O Negative

I’m also assuming the bitch lied to me about being with someone else so I’m choosing the greatest “Fuck You Because You Cheated on Me” song ever.  Yeah this song is misogynistic as all hell but hey, if you’re a dude who’s had his heart ripped out by a lady you’re probably warranted a few chants of “Cunt! Whore! Slut!” and this song will give you tons of that (complete with the wonderful  New York pronunciation of “whoo-aa”).  Plus you know that Peter Steele has been romantically destroyed.  Just listen to the way this 6’ 6” giant screams out “Yeah I’m a maaaannn, but it still hurts!”  Plus the sing along of “I know you’re fucking someone else” is probably the greatest “Haha I caught you” moment in all of music.  On the other hand though, if she really isn’t cheating on you and you’re just a paranoid asshole, you’re kind of fucked after you play this song around her. -ASW
