The Truth
Coxon Graham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come to waste the land and kill your love
Get to know about the truth
Say goodbye the future has no you
Wasted people in a wasted world
An empty promise and a flower girl
Didn't know about the truth
Life is nothing new, your love of God won't help you
Kiss the kids and pray the whole night through
Slide into the dark, it's taking shape around you
Pretty soon it's all that you will know
Life is nothing new, your love of God won't help you
Kiss the kids and pray the whole night through
Slide into the dark, it's taking shape around you
Pretty soon it's all that you will know
The lyrics of Coxon Graham's song "The Truth" describe a bleak and dystopian world. The silver killers, possibly referring to bombs, fall from the sky and destroy the land and love. The singer urges the listener to "get to know about the truth" and accept that there is no future for them. The image of wasted people in a wasted world emphasizes the theme of destruction and hopelessness. The flower girl with an empty promise suggests that even innocence and beauty are corrupted in this world.
The repetition of the lines "life is nothing new, your love of God won't help you" implies a sense of futility and resignation. The lyric suggests that even one's faith in God is irrelevant in the face of such destruction. The line "slide into the dark, it's taking shape around you" adds to the sense of impending doom.
Overall, the lyrics of "The Truth" paint a picture of a world gone wrong, where destruction and darkness have taken over all aspects of life. The song seems to be a warning against ignorance and complacency, urging listeners to face the harsh realities of the world.
