Lipstick Lies doesn’t tiptoe around betrayal, it kicks the door in with a guitar riff and tells the truth at full volume. On this January 13, 2026 release, Ash Fault Jungle leans hard into glam metal and hard rock territory, pulling clear inspiration from bands like Brother Cane and Shotgun Messiah while keeping the emotion raw and personal.
The song is driven by a thick, no-nonsense guitar line and a bassline that keeps pushing forward like it’s got something to prove. There’s a classic rock swagger in the instrumental, but it never feels dated. Instead, it sounds lived-in, gritty, and built to carry a story that hurts. The groove locks in early and doesn’t let go.

Lipstick Lies is sharp and unapologetic. From “She walks in with a midnight grin” (0:22) to “Every kiss is a loaded gun” (0:41), Ash Fault Jungle paints betrayal in bold strokes. This isn’t just about cheating, it’s about the thrill, the manipulation, and the transactional nature of it all. Money, attention, adrenaline. Everyone involved is a pawn, and she knows it.
The hook lands hard, especially with the repeated “She’ll break your soul and laugh again” (0:52). That line sticks because it feels earned, not dramatic for the sake of it. You can hear the bitterness, but also the clarity that comes after being burned too many times. By the time the song hits “Shadow in disguise, a devil with angel eyes” (2:18), the character is fully formed, charming, destructive, and untouchable.

There’s no romanticizing the damage here. Lipstick Lies captures that moment when love flips into recognition, and the illusion finally cracks. Loud, hooky, and emotionally charged, this track proves Ash Fault Jungle knows how to turn personal fallout into hard rock that hits where it’s supposed to.
