True
Jamie Lancaster Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 (This is the sound)

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?
When I want the truth to be said

I know this much is true
I know this much is true

With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun
Listening to Marvin all night long
This is the sound of my soul (This is the sound)

Always slipping from my hands
Sand's a time of it's own
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
Oh, I want the truth to be known

I know this much is true
I know this much is true

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?
When I want the truth to be said

I know this much is true
I know this much is true

I know this much is
I know this much is
True

I know this much is
I know this much is
True

I know this much is
I know this much is
True

I know this much is

I know this much is
True

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jamie Lancaster's song "True" convey a sense of longing for truth and authenticity in a world that seems to value conformity over individuality. The opening line, "So true, funny how it seems," suggests that what is true may not always be obvious, but is nonetheless important. The line "Always in time, but never in line for dreams" speaks to the idea that societal expectations and norms can impede people from pursuing their true passions and desires.

The following lines, "Head over heels, when toe to toe / This is the sound of my soul," suggest that the singer feels a sense of passion and purpose in life, but struggles to find the words to express it. The repeated refrain of "I know this much is true" underscores the importance of authenticity and personal truth in the face of societal pressures.
