The truth
Kalimur Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somewhere where the seasons change
And a cease fire remains
In this cold war
I've become accustomed to
Not chasing after something new
I am stuck in my ways
Cause we want it and we need it
Yeah we breathe it and we bleed it
The hunger for a civil truce
Cause the head and the heart will
Always point in different ways
But that fire in your soul
Is something that must remain
So hold up your worst mistake
Let it lead the next step you take
Don't be trapped in what you don't understand
The demons that don't let you sleep
Are not your enemies you'll see
There's a reason you're not content
Cause we want it and we need it
Something to inspire truth
Yeah we breathe it and we bleed it
The hunger for a civil truce
Cause the head and the heart will
Always point in different ways
But that fire in your soul
Is something that must remain
(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
LEAD: Give me all the truth
Nothing but the truth
Cause we want it and we need it
Something to inspire truth
Yeah we breathe it and we bleed it
The hunger for a civil truce
Cause the head and the heart will
Always point in different ways
But that fire in your soul
Is something that must remain
The lyrics to Kalimur's song The Truth speak to a desire for change and peace in the midst of conflict and stagnation. The opening lines express a desire to escape a static, unchanging environment and find somewhere with seasons and a "cease fire." The singer admits to being stuck in their ways, but also expresses a need for inspiration and a hunger for a "civil truce." The chorus repeats the idea that we want and need truth - "something to inspire truth" - and that this hunger for truth and peace comes from the heart, even if the head and heart may point in different directions. The song ends with a plea for truth and an affirmation that the fire of passion and truth within must never be lost.
