The Truth
O.T. Recordings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep my eyes wide open, keep my eyes wide open
So I'll pick up some straw dolls and I'll burn them down
Keep on feeding our bonfire
And I'll put my rusty heart into a pretty little matchbox
For yours too rugged to be preserved
And we'll be ancient stars colliding into each other's atmosphere
Stones in our pockets, but so easy to fly away
And it's so hard to take
This ain't a song about truth
And it hurts so bad
I'm king of rain and poor of everything
Since you've run run run run run away
You've run run run run run away
You've run run run run run away
You've run run run run run away
And I will give you all of my strength if you ever need protection
For you're too rare to forget
And we could screw it up or maybe find perfection
Just learn to be loved, loved as you loved me so far
But this ain't a song about truth
And it's so hard to take
This ain't a song about truth
And it hurts so bad
I'm king of rain and poor of everything
Since you've run run run run run away
You've run run run run run away
You've run run run run run away
You've run run run run run away
But this ain't a song about truth
And it's so hard to take
This ain't a song about truth
And it hurts so bad
My truth is wasted under pouring rains
Still praying for a song about truth
Still praying for a song about truth
Still praying for my song about truth
Still praying for my song about truth

Line by Line Meaning
Do you remember when we were afraid?
Remember the time when we worried about the future?
Crossing our fingers we'd turn out okay
Hoping that we'd be okay
No faith in the world 'cause we doubted ourselves
Feeling low self-confidence and doubting ourselves caused us to lose faith in the world
But in time came to find hard times made us strong
As time passed, we discovered that tough times made us stronger
But now the fear in me is gone
But now I no longer am burdened by the fear I once had
I found the truth within, I'm strong
I found the truth, and that knowledge gave me strength
Only afraid of never knowing
The only thing I am afraid of is never discovering
All the things I could have done
All the things that I left undone, full of potential and possibility
Do you still feel all alone and betrayed?
Are you still carrying the burden of feeling alone or betrayed?
Kicking yourself for mistakes that you made
Beating yourself up for the mistakes that you've made
Well, it's time to stand up and set yourself free
It is time to take a stand and become free
The future is waiting while you search for what went wrong
The future is waiting for you as you seek to learn from your mistakes
I remember all the crazy shit we used to do
I recall all the wild, reckless things we used to do
It seemed like you weren't afraid of anything
You appeared to have no fear, to be unafraid of anything
We were ready to take on the fucking world
We were ready to tackle anything and everything
Not worried about our future at all
Our future never seemed to be a concern for us
You know what, fuck it, we did that shit 'cause we were afraid
To be honest, we did those things out of fear
'Cause we were afraid our time was running out
Fearful that our time was limited
We did not think we had the same chances as the others had
We believed that we weren't as fortunate as others
Well, guess what? We were fucking wrong
As it turns out, we were completely mistaken
And now the fear in me is gone
And now, the fear that once plagued me no longer exists
I found the truth within, I'm strong
I discovered the truth—and now, I am strong
Only afraid of never knowing
Now, my only fear is not learning everything I want to know
All the things I could have done
All the things I could have accomplished or experienced

The whole SPM situation and the way his fans have reacted truly made me understand how uncles, brothers, cousins and fathers are able to get away with molesting kids in their families and it never comes out. I didn't know how that was possible when I was younger. I've heard stories from women saying "nobody believes me" and now I see it live in action. Cam Capone just interviewed Swifty Blue about SPM and boom here they come again fighting for a man who has a mountain of evidence proving his guilt. Disturbing asf.

Speaking straight facts, bro. It's the same war pastors, priests, teachers, etc get away with this sick shit. "He was such a good guy and member of the community"

Only Elvis Presley can get away with messing with a minor. He’s probably the most glorified chomo in history.
