Is It True
Ofln - Tame Impala Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feelin' all different kinds of things
We were talkin' about everything
From the past to the happenin'
We started talkin' 'bout devotion
The kind that goes on eternally
And I tell her I'm in love with her
But how can I know that I'll always be?
She just said, "Is it true? Is it true? Tell me now"
It's a promise I can't make and I won't validate
Was I in some kind of mood? I don't know, I don't care
Now I'm sleepin' in my room, here I am, back again
She's in my
I was happy just listening
No intention to be mentioning
We started talkin' 'bout the future
'Bout the notion I was motioning
I'm just so terrified to face up
Like any moment I might wake up
'Cause she's the only thing I think of
I told my mother that I love her
She just said, "Is it true? Is it true? Tell me now"
It's a promise I can't make and I won't validate
Was I being immature? I don't know, I don't care
Now I'm sleeping in my room, here I am, back again
She's in my
In my
I said, "We'll see"
We'll see
In my
We'll see
Oh, we'll see
We'll see
We'll see, we'll see, we'll see
See how we go
Until we know what the future holds
Ah, we'll see
We'll see
We'll see, we'll see, we'll see
The song "Is It True" by Tame Impala explores themes of uncertainty and doubt in a romantic relationship. The lyrics convey a conversation between two individuals as they discuss their feelings and the future of their relationship.
In the first verse, the singer describes a morning conversation with their partner, where they discuss various topics including devotion. The singer expresses their love for their partner but questions whether they will always feel this way. The partner responds by asking, "Is it true? Tell me now." This line suggests that the partner is seeking validation and reassurance regarding the singer's feelings.
As the second verse begins, the singer reflects on their happiness in simply listening to their partner and their fear of confronting their emotions. They express their love to their mother, possibly indicating a desire for familial love and stability. The partner, once again, questions the authenticity of the singer's feelings by asking, "Is it true? Tell me now." This repetition highlights the partner's need for confirmation.
In the chorus, the singer responds to the partner's inquiry with the words, "We'll see." This phrase suggests a lack of certainty and a reluctance to make definitive promises. The repetition of "we'll see" throughout the chorus emphasizes the singer's hesitation and uncertainty about the future of the relationship.
The final lines of the song continue to echo the phrase "we'll see," emphasizing the ongoing uncertainty. The repeated phrase "we'll see how we go" suggests an openness to allowing the relationship to evolve and unfold naturally, without making concrete plans or commitments. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and a willingness to navigate the unknown together.

Man the drummer Kevin Parker is so good. I also love their guitarist Kevin Parker, but while the bass is pretty good and Kevin Parker is very talented. The vocals by Kevin Parker are the best part by far.
