True
Arnee Hidalgo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 lyrics to Arnee Hidalgo's song "True" reflect on the complexity of the human experience in relation to time and dreams. The first verse describes how the truth about our desires and aspirations may not always align with the practicality of timing in our lives. The second verse touches on the struggle of writer's block and the desire for honesty. 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.

So true, funny how it seems
Despite how funny it may seem, it's true
Always in time, but never in line for dreams
Always on time for reality but never for dreams
Head over heels when toe to toe
Completely infatuated when face-to-face
This is the sound of my soul
This is what defines me emotionally
This is the sound
This is my true identity
I bought a ticket to the world
I ventured out into the world
But now I've come back again
But now I have returned home
Why do I find it hard to write the next line
Why am I struggling to continue on my journey
Oh, I want the truth to be known
I desire for my innermost feelings to be known
I know this much is true
I am confident that this statement is accurate
With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
With excitement in my mind and a pill to calm my nerves
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun
Eliminating the early stages of nervousness
List'nin' to Marvin (all night long)
Listening exclusively to Marvin Gaye throughout the night
Always slipping from my hands
Always losing my grasp
Sends a time of its own
Creates its own timeframe
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
Embrace your surroundings and continue on with your journey
Oh, I want the truth to be known
I desire for my innermost feelings to be known
