Trust
[Thrice] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mix the chemicals right, dear
Mix the chemicals right
Yeah the margin of error is slight

Mix the chemicals right, dear
Mix the chemicals right
Yeah you know that you could
Save my life

There is a risk
(There's a risk when your dealing with love)
You could snap my neck
(Any speed you drive can be dangerous)

Mix the chemicals right, dear
Mix the chemicals right
Yeah you know there's a fine line between
Mix the chemicals right, dear
Mix the chemicals right

'Cause I know what betrayal can mean
When this frame fails me
Will I trust you to carry me through?
I know there's no such thing as safety
But I know what a promise can do

Will I trust you?
Will I trust you to carry me through?




I will trust you
'Cause I know what a promise can do

Overall Meaning

The song Trust by Thrice has lyrics that are largely metaphorical, with mixing chemicals signifying a delicate balance that needs to exist in trust between two individuals in a romantic relationship. The first few lines, "Mix the chemicals right, dear / Mix the chemicals right / Yeah the margin of error is slight," emphasize the need for precision and care in maintaining balance in the relationship. The singer explains that if chemistry is not handled correctly, there is a risk of danger, as seen in the line, "There is a risk / (There's a risk when you're dealing with love) / You could snap my neck / (Any speed you drive can be dangerous)." These lines mean that love can be dangerous and there is a risk of falling deeply and getting hurt very badly.


The chorus reinforces this message with the line, "Yeah you know there's a fine line between / Mix the chemicals right, dear / Mix the chemicals right" suggesting that the singer's partner knows there is a delicate balance in the relationship. The singer then expresses their fears about the possibility of being betrayed, "‘Cause I know what betrayal can mean / When this frame fails me / Will I trust you to carry me through?" emphasizing the stakes and risk involved in developing trust. Even though there is no such thing as safety, the singer still chooses to trust their partner because of the power of promises, using the line, "But I know what a promise can do" to signify that a promise can help overcome fear and uncertainty.


Overall, the song Trust is about the nature of trust and the balancing act that must take place in a healthy romantic relationship. The song highlights that trust is not easy to achieve and can be difficult to maintain but is also necessary for a successful relationship.

Hood fame, everybody know my name
When I come through
But don't nobody scream it like you
I was having visions with you
Doing thangs, switching lanes in the beamer with you
And swimming in deep water
Save me from my sorrows
Swimming in deep
Just some peace is all I need
So why can't I get that for free
You told me I could trust you
Don't lie
I could really use it🎤🎶



@itemptation1836

You told me I could trust you, don't lie
I could really use you
You told me I could trust you
And I could really use you
So much I wanna talk about
But I ain't got no one to talk to
I'm always tryna work it out
But somehow it always falls through
And I know that I get rough
But I just wanna feel love
Sometimes
You told me I could trust you
Don't lie
I could really use you
You told me I could trust you
And I could really use you

Hood fame, everybody know my name when
I come through
But don't nobody scream it like you
I was having visions with you
Doing thangs, switching lanes in the beamer
With you
And swimming in deep water
Save me from my sorrows
Swimming in deep
Just some peace is all I need
So why can't I get that for free?
You told me I could trust you,
Don't lie
I could really use you
You told me I could trust you
And I could really use you

LYRICS:

Either you down or you ain't
You either riding or you can't
Down or you ain't

You told me I could trust you, don't lie
I could really use it
(Everybody need love, even niggas like me)
You told me I could trust you
And I could really use it

So much I wanna talk about
But I ain't got no one to talk to (Shit, I don't)
I'm always tryna work it out
But somehow it always falls through
And I know that I get rough
But I just wanna feel love
Sometimes
Either you down or you ain't
You either riding or you can't
Real Shit

You told me I could trust you (Stay ten toes for a nigga)
Don't lie
(I ain't running game on you)
I could really use it
(Stay ten toes for a nigga, shorty, stay ten toes for a nigga)
You told me I could trust you
The more I tell you, the more you wanna know
And I could really use it
If I tell you, will you use it when I'm low?

Hood fame, everybody know my name when
I come through
But don't nobody scream it like you
I was having visions with you
Doing thangs, switching lanes in the beamer
With you
And swimming in deep water
Save me from my sorrows
Swimming in deep
Just some peace is all I need
So why can't I get that for free?

You told me I could trust you (Stay ten toes for a nigga)
Don't lie
(I ain't running game on you)
I could really use it
(Stay ten toes for a nigga, shorty, stay ten toes for a nigga)
You told me I could trust you
The more I tell you, the more you wanna know
And I could really use it
If I tell you, will you use it when I'm low?
If I tell you, will you use it when I'm low?
