Michael Sweet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And they pretend to care with their display
The lies they feed you soothe your mind
Deceiving you from what you'll find
Open your eyes can't you see it
Separates the soul, body and spirit
Forgives, forgets and sets you free
Michael Sweet's song Truth is a call for listeners to recognize the lies and deception surrounding them and seek the truth that will set them free. The lyrics convey the idea that those in positions of power often use false promises and pretty words to manipulate people into conforming to their agenda. The use of the phrase "burn your ears" emphasizes the severity of the lies being told and the harm they can cause.
The second half of the first verse suggests that the lies being told may be comforting in the short term, but ultimately prevent individuals from discovering their true selves and their place in the world. The chorus encourages the listener to open their eyes and recognize the lies for what they are before they become too entrenched in them.
The final lines of the chorus are perhaps the most powerful, as they suggest that the truth will lead the listener to "eternity." This could refer to a spiritual or religious concept of an afterlife, but could also simply mean a life of purpose and fulfillment freed from the lies of those around them.
