Honesty Is Overrated
Angy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We′ve been sittin' here... talking′ 'bout our problems... how we gonna solve 'em oh
If we really cared... about savin′ this relationship... we′d shut up
I won't say... what I′m really thinkin'... where did ya six-pack go?
I won′t complain... you can wear... even tighter stuff

What you don't know... can′t hurt you
U drive too slow... without a clue
But you're like a model with abs of steel... doesn't make a difference if it′s not for real
You make a Adidas with a tux look cool... forget the nomal rules
I′m in no rush for the destination... you're the only one who gets my heart racin′
We can just skip - skip - skip the pain... 'cause honestly is overrated
It′s overrated... honestly is overrated

I... will... turn the other cheek... when you wanna look at... her with the big rack (whoa)
I'm so sorry... that ya comin′ back with little... me instead
Ya friends are fun... I particulary like... when the go home
I've got no problem... when you wanna. watch ball instead

What we don't know... can′t kill us
It′s honestly's fault... if we mess this up

But you′re like a model with abs of steel... doesn't make a difference if it′s not for real
You make a Adidas with a tux look cool... forget the nomal rules
I'm in no rush for the destination... you′re the only one who gets my heart racin'
We can just skip - skip - skip the pain... 'cause honestly is overrated

Baby I′m tellin′ you... I like it just like that... be careful what yo do... with the truth...
We're gettin′ close tonight... I'm lyin′ by your side... lookin' in your eyes

But you′re like a model with abs of steel... doesn't make a difference if it's not for real
You make a Adidas with a tux look cool... forget the nomal rules
I′m in no rush for the destination... you′re the only one who gets my heart racin'
We can just skip - skip - skip the pain...
Skip - skip - skip the pain...

But you′re like a model with abs of steel... doesn't make a difference if it′s not for real
You make a Adidas with a tux look cool... forget the nomal rules
I'm in no rush for the destination... you′re the only one who gets my heart racin'
We can just skip - skip - skip the pain... 'cause honestly is overrated

It′s overrated... honestly is overrated... no, no, no
Uh - Uh - Honestly... not for you... not for me




Trust me we can be happy
Not for you, baby... Not for me

Overall Meaning

Angy's song "Honesty Is Overrated" is a commentary on the nature of truthfulness and relationships. The opening lyrics describe a conversation between two people about their problems - possibly those in their relationship - and how they might solve them. However, the song suggests that perhaps it is better to keep certain thoughts to oneself rather than to risk hurting the other person by being too honest. The lyrics also touch on themes of body image, jealousy, and compromise.


The chorus features several comparisons that suggest that appearances are not as important as they seem. The model with abs of steel may look impressive, but if they are not genuine, then their looks are not important. Similarly, wearing Adidas with a tuxedo may be breaking the rules, but if it looks good and feels right, then rules should be ignored. The song ends with a call for the characters to skip the pain and move forward despite their doubts.


In conclusion, "Honesty Is Overrated" suggests that truthfulness is not always the best policy, especially in relationships. The song argues that it is better to focus on the good things in a relationship and to take joy in each other's company. While this may not be the most successful long-term strategy, it is preferable to causing unnecessary pain or discomfort.

Dearest Andy,
I patiently listened to your testimony and it truly broke my heart. Those who have hurt you will pay the price, without forgiveness for perpetrating something so utterly and horrifically embarrassing and psychologically painful.
The world is calloused beyond expectation, and what were once guidelines for public behaviour, have been cast aside and all hell has broken loose.

My own story was as a victim, but on a far more personal level, and the abuse and exposure has shredded my life, through a series of incidents from which I may never recover, but the world is new every morning and I am moving forward... but I will never be the same.
The adjustments have been life threatening and were done against me, and I am a fragile representation of what I was, and I live in constant fear.

I have supported Johnny Depp and stand next to him, for the horrific abuse and lies that have been told about him. I can say in all honesty, that he is an angel and I know you two have a great future together.

The lies and hurt of Amber Heard are of catastrophic proportions, and as much as I wait to see the outcome today, I know that God's timing is perfect, but in the meantime, we know that her mental illness is running amok, and I hold my breath and pray for the best outcome.
Clearly, if one cannot see and sense the evil running loose, it is probably not in their processing to understand.

You are a fine man, and I stand by your side as someone who supports you, and I wish you every happiness and many years to come.

KWC🌹

As a sexual assault survivor, it makes me sick when women say they were assaulted and really weren’t.

@rhondac1569

Same

@humility1st

Same. Because Me too has been hijacked.

@VeggieRice

csa survivor here, honestly i don't feel too much different about cheaters

@celinelovell4725

Cheating is disgusting but not anywhere close to the same.

@saraleonard888

Except he did it to me too. So. Lets all believe a predator.

@traceybell6425

Omg! I’ve been following you throughout the Johnny v turd trial and never once saw any of these awful accusations you mention in this video. Well done for fighting your corner and for having the balls to admit your mistakes. I’m now an even bigger fan of yours. Love to you and your family x

@marymasdon1175

Me too! Very proud of you standing up for yourself!

@suras8984

Yea during his trial videos he said he was falsley accused and this video popped up so I thought I'd see what he was talking about. It is so sad how far people take false accusations to ruin someones life. Utterly appalling. I am happy he is doing well now and is successful with his channel.

@amberbutler6930

Same! I had no idea about this. I see why the JD trial is important to him because he’s been in those same shoes of being falsely accused and understands how he feels. Glad you’re on the other side of this Andy!
