It means that-
The glory built upoun a lie becomes unpleasant when one realises that the glory is not yours to begin with & becomes unpleasant henceforth. Also it becomes unbearable since u may not possess those qualities to maintain or match with that certain glory. Things therefore fall apart.

One lie always leads to another and soon the weight of all those lies becomes a heavy load to carry. It is not true glory if you have had to lie to achieve it and sooner or later having to keep the lie will become to heavy a load to carry.

It means when you lie you get only a while to enjoy it before the lie becomes a problem.

Ti means that you may lie and get away with it, but sooner or later someone will catch you in that lie or you will have to keep lying to cover the first one.

It means the more you lie, the more entangled you become and great stories of achievement (which're lies) are soon found out!

It means if you lie it'll only come back to haunt you later.
