The song "Author Unknown" by Jack Off Jill is a confrontational and angry track that expresses frustration with someone who has lied, exaggerated, and hurt others. The lyrics suggest that this person has tried to create a false version of their own history, but the singer sees through this facade and is not fooled. The first verse encourages this person to examine their own words and actions, suggesting that they will eventually be exposed as a fraud. The reference to "pick and shovel" implies that they will be buried in the lies they have constructed. The second verse is even more direct, challenging the person's grammar and bad nature. The singer dismisses any attempts at explanation or justification and responds with a resounding "fuck you." The third verse introduces two different men who seem to have failed in different ways. The first man is gone in a day, possibly dying tragically, while the second man wrote a book that is now seen as a work of lies. Overall, the song is a powerful statement against falsehood and dishonesty, conveying a clear message that the truth will always prevail, and those who try to deceive others will ultimately face the consequences.
