truth
Sandra van Nieuwland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was gone away so long, long enough to lose myself.
Past away out in the wild and i could hear the voices sing.
On the edge of my insanity i'm getting high on fighting perfect clearity.

But the voices that i hear are just a part of me.

I found my through, I found my through.
Nothing to proof, nothing to lose.

I was way down by little things, holding on to broken change.
Couldnt breath i was letting go.
Then suddenly the angels sing.
On the edge of my insanity.
I'm getting high on fighting perfect clearity.

But the voices that i hear are just a part of me.

I found my through, I found my through.
Nothing to proof, nothing to lose.

If I forget once again, what i had forgotten.
Im gonna get it back.

If I forget once again, what i had forgotten.
Im gonna get it back.

If I forget once again, what i had forgotten.
Im gonna get it back back back back back.

I found my throught, I found my through.
Nothing to proof, nothing to lose.




I found my through, I found my through.
Nothing to proof, nothing to lose.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sandra van Nieuwland's song Truth seem to be describing the singer's journey towards self-discovery and overcoming struggles. The first stanza appears to suggest that the singer has been away from themselves for a long time, and has lost their sense of self. The mention of the voices singing could be interpreted as being around people who influenced the singer negatively, leading to them feeling lost and disconnected from themselves. However, the singer seems to find clarity in fighting their inner demons, and they realize that the voices they hear are just a part of themselves. The second stanza talks about the singer being burdened by small things in life, and they feel like they are suffocating. But then, something shifts and the singer hears the angels singing. This could be interpreted as the singer recognizing that there is more to life than just the small things that seemed to be weighing them down. Once again, they mention fighting perfect clarity, which could be interpreted as the singer being in a state of mind where they are actively trying to maintain their newfound sense of self.


The final stanza suggests that the road to self-discovery is not always easy and that the singer might forget what they have learned. However, they vow to get it back, indicating their determination to continue growing and discovering themselves.


Overall, the song is about the struggle to find oneself, overcoming inner demons and the realization that the voice is a part of oneself. It is also about accepting oneself, as evidenced in the lyrics "Nothing to prove, nothing to lose."

Eerste kennismaking op 11/10/16 met deze zeer talentvolle zangeres: Antwerpen, voorprogramma van Brian Ferry!!! Akoestisch. Zeer onder de indruk, wat een stem! De gitarist was ook indrukwekkend. Genoten dus. Zo mooi. En ja, ook het concert van Brian Ferry was ook helemaal genieten.
