True
Arnee Hidalgo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hah hah hah hah hah


I
So true, funny how it seems
Always in time, but never in line for dreams
Head over heels when toe to toe
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound


II
I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line
Oh, I want the truth to be known


CHORUS
Hah hah hah hah hah
I know this much is true
Hah hah hah hah hah
I know this much is true


III
With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun
List'nin' to Marvin (all night long)
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound


IV
Always slipping from my hands
Sends a time of its own




Take your seaside arms and write the next line
Oh, I want the truth to be known

The chorus repeats the phrase "I know this much is true" in a self-assurance that what we believe to be true is indeed so. The third verse references the escapism offered by music and the temporary relief it can provide. The final verse speaks to the fleeting nature of time and the desire for honesty once again.


Overall, "True" embodies the human experience of searching for truth, grappling with the intersection of our dreams and reality, and finding moments of respite through music. It encourages listeners to embrace their own complexity and search for the truth within themselves.
