Buffalo Sunn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me the love you possess in your hand
We all need someone to show us how
We all need someone to show us now
They don't believe in a world where they don't exist
She has no faith in time that's not on her wrist
There's always someone watching for you to trip up
But if it gets too much for you
Hold on
Your dreams they change like the seasons
That's what makes you strong
There's always gonna be someone
To try and push you around
Well take a look into my eyes
I won't let you down
The lyrics of Buffalo Sunn's song GIMME TRUTH convey a powerful message about the human need for honesty, love, and inspiration. The lines "Give me the truth and I'll try to understand, Give me the love you possess in your hand" speak to the idea that in order to make sense of the world, we need people to be transparent with us and share their emotions. The following stanza, "We all need someone to show us how, We all need someone to show us now" underscores the need for help and guidance, especially in times of uncertainty.
The song then takes a more skeptical tone with the lines "They don't believe in a world where they don't exist, She has no faith in time that's not on her wrist," pointing to the idea that some people are so self-absorbed that they cannot imagine a world beyond their own experience. The lyrics "There's always someone watching for you to trip up, There's always someone laughing when you fall down" acknowledge that adversity is inevitable and that there will always be people who derive pleasure from others' misfortune.
However, the chorus of the song provides a message of hope and inspiring strength to hold on to our dreams and not let others bring us down. The lyrics, "But if it gets too much for you, Hold on, Your dreams they change like the seasons, That's what makes you strong, There's always gonna be someone to try and push you around, Well take a look into my eyes, I won't let you down" provide a potent reminder to keep striving for our goals and to cling onto hope even when it seems impossible.
Overall, Buffalo Sunn's GIMME TRUTH provides an anthem of positivity, perseverance, and resilience in the face of adversity.
