The truth
Anti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dan Rather is reporting something but it isn't news
It's molded, and folded, and beamed into your home
The next minute you find yourself dying for fucking oil
Immediate, Reaction, to the brainrot in your mind
Immediate, Subtraction, to the time left in your life
Immediate, Reaction, to the brainrot in your mind
All we really want, is truth
Bred into silence by television sets
Accepting lies from media so soon we will forget
The lives that we spend as workers for the rich
You work so much there's no time left to realize
That you're in a fucking ditch
The lyrics of Anti-Flag's song "The Truth" criticize the media and the propaganda spread by them. The first verse mentions how people are being fed with "brainrot" and being convinced that it is true. The reference to Dan Rather, a prominent journalist, suggests that even the mainstream media is guilty of spreading such propaganda. The next couple of lines refer to how this propaganda is moulded and then broadcast into homes. The subtle critique is that people are not aware of the impact it has on their lives. The last line in the verse is an indirect reference to the wars being fought to secure oil reserves. The message here is that even wars are being sold to the masses as something that is necessary for their protection, while it is just a way to keep the rich, richer.
The second verse mentions how people are becoming desensitized to the lies that they are being fed with. The reference to television sets suggests that we have become so comfortable with it that we do not question what is being told to us. Another subtle critique is regarding how the media normalizes people's daily struggles as if it were the standard. Finally, the line about the ditch suggests that people are so busy working, that they do not have time to understand the systems that are keeping them working endlessly. The song's connection to the title speaks to how people should instead seek the truth and move towards it, rather than accepting the lies they are being fed.

he was just nuanced like most ppl. i hate how ppl say theyre antifeminists cuz we all know feminism is about gender equality. what they usually mean is they aren't for the hardcore radical 4th wave version of feminism

I think he is probably in the manosphere world and might be getting some of those motivational coaches that are saying some incorrect things about women. It skews your perspective on them and how they’re actually thinking and feeling and why. Total assumption though I could be wrong
Nick Kunwar

I really commend how well Riley engaged with Bailey. She's very much stubbornly in her own world. He navigated the discussions really well & tried to show her alternative perspectives. Patient and good active listener. Seems like a nice guy.

Aww thank you, that means a lot :)
