True
Operators Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your mistake, think about it
You better carry on
Cold scent underwater
You've found attention in life
Hands up for the weekend
You've found a way to love, yeah
Put a spike into the door
So that everyone knows you got

One, one, one, one
One, one true love
One, one, one, one
One, one true love

You come and see, give it back [?]
Give it back cause [?] real good
Yeah we, we think she's great
She said she's waiting for the contact, yeah
Hands up, no sudden movement
They're gonna capture your heart
Down here, down at the bottom
No need to be afraid when you got

I'm a wreck, ripped up and torn up
[?] in the waiting room




I say, she said she's dying
She said she's waiting for the soundtrack

Overall Meaning

The song "True" by Operators is a contemplative piece that delves into the complexities of human relationships. In the opening lines, the singer addresses someone who has made a mistake and advises them to think about it while also encouraging them to carry on. The metaphorical reference of "cold scent underwater" suggests that the mistake being referred to is difficult to identify or understand, yet the person has still found attention in life. The lyrics then move to celebrating the weekend and finding a way to love. The "spike into the door" figuratively represents a proclamation of having found the "one true love" that everyone should know about.


In the second verse, the song seems to shift focus and address a female character that the singer has previously encountered. The lyrics suggest that the singer's group sees something great in her and that she is seeking a connection or contact. There is a sense of danger or pending capture, but at the same time, feeling safe due to a strong connection. The end of the verse switches abruptly to a different storyline, with the singer expressing that they are a "wreck, ripped up and torn up" and waiting for a soundtrack, perhaps alluding to a dramatic, emotional event that has or is about to happen.
