Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've told some people now they know it
forget your old lawn come over to mine
take your first step and you will get there in time - it's true
life will smile for you
it's true
life will smile for you
life will smile for you
the grass is greener on the other side
someone told me she had finally seen it
it's hard to believe it before you've tried it out
she's already there she's finally home - it's true
life will smile for you
it's true
life will smile for you
it's true
life will smile for you
it's true
life will smile for you
you thought you knew it all
but let me tell you
you're not the only one by far
let's knock down all the walls
you better believe it
'cause now you know it's true
life will smile for you - it's true x8
i wouldn't lie for you
The song It's True by Axwell & Sebastian Ingrosso vs. Salem Al Fakir seems to be an encouraging anthem towards positivity and self-improvement. The lyrics "the grass is greener on the other side" is a well-known proverb that suggests that other people's situations always appear better than one's current one, but the upcoming lines "forget your old lawn come over to mine, take your first step and you will get there in time - it's true" suggests that the grass can be greener on one's side if they make an effort and take the first step towards improvement.
The chorus "life will smile for you, it's true" reinforces the idea that life can be better, and the use of "it's true" at the end of each verse almost seems like a reassurance that these statements are not just hopeful but are, in fact, true. The verse "someone told me she had finally seen it, it's hard to believe it before you've tried it out, she's already there she's finally home - it's true" further underlines that change is possible and even though it might seem difficult, it's worth trying for a better life. The song ends with "I wouldn't lie for you", emphasizing once more that the encouragement is genuine and believable.
Overall, the song is a motivational piece that encourages listeners to take the first step towards change, emphasizing the idea that the grass is actually greener on one's own side if they make an effort.

When this song came out in 2007 I had it on my 256MB MP3-Player. I was an average guy on an average German school dealing with bullying problems. After my Family began to break apart as well, I felt suicidal. One day I was commuting home from school and standing on the edge of the platform seeing a train coming on that would pass through. At this moment the shuffle function of my MP3-Player turned on this song. For some reason, the melody, the lyrics and the overall feeling of this record kept me from doing the biggest mistake in my life. It'll always have a special place in my Vinyl collection. So I'll just say Thanks. Even 12 years later this record hits me deep into my heart.
