Truth
First Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To pass the THREE STAGES OF TRUTH
So many who base their lives
On the prevailing point of view
And because a great many who will believe
Therefore it must be true
Who gains? Who profits? Who wins?
Who benefits the most?
From the conditions we accept with our own lying eyes
From believing what we are told
WHAT WE ARE TOLD!
Those we condemn... THOSE WE CONDEMN
For what they know... FOR WHAT THEY KNOW
To have the vision to see beyond the status quo...
1) First they are RIDICULED then
2) Opposed so violently until...
3) ACCEPTANCE
These are the three stages of truth
The pain that we must all endure
To pass the THREE STAGES OF TRUTH
The pain... the THREE STAGES OF TRUTH
The damage... the THREE STAGES OF TRUTH
The pain that we must all endure
To pass the THREE STAGES OF TRUTH
The damage we must all endure
To pass the THREE STAGES OF TRUTH
The song "Truth" by First Blood is a commentary on the nature of truth, and how difficult it can be to arrive at a true understanding of the world. The lyrics suggest that there are three stages to this process, and that each stage is characterized by pain and difficulty. The first stage is one of ridicule, where those who challenge the prevailing point of view are dismissed as foolish or delusional. The second stage is one of opposition, where those who challenge the status quo are met with hostility and resistance. Finally, in the third stage, acceptance is achieved, but only after great struggle and perseverance.
The lyrics also suggest that the truth is often manipulated and distorted by those who stand to gain from it. The song asks us to question who benefits from the conditions we accept as true and to dare to ask who gains and profits from our beliefs. It encourages us to be skeptical of what we are told and to seek out the truth, no matter how difficult or painful it may be.
Overall, the song is a call to action, urging us to be brave and resilient in our pursuit of the truth, even in the face of ridicule, opposition, and pain.
