True
Sinai Beach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can we discuss the things we use for the tricks
We spring on people so trusting.
From up our sleeves, come tears of sadness and tears of joy.
Nothing too complicated for the hearts of liars.
Lies, careless words, for careless people.
Deceitfulness: a trait found only in hate.
And I wonder what defines a lie.
How do you define a lie?
Empty promises leave holes in hearts of many,




Some with those intentions, some unintentionally.
The most untamed beast is the beast in our mouths, our tongues.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sinai Beach's song "True False" reflect on the deceptive nature of human beings and the harm that can arise from telling lies. The song opens with a plea to examine the ways in which we manipulate others for our own benefit, using phrases like "the things we use for tricks" and "tears of sadness and tears of joy" to describe the emotional manipulation that can come from lies. The lyrics go on to suggest that deception is a trait of hate, and that careless words can cause harm to others.


The song's chorus questions what a lie truly is and how it can be defined. It suggests that empty promises can leave lasting damage, whether intended or not. Perhaps the most powerful statement in the song comes towards the end, with the line: "The most untamed beast is the beast in our mouths, our tongues." This serves as a reminder that our words have incredible power, and that we must be mindful of the impact they can have on others.


Overall, "True False" is a thoughtful critique of the ways in which we can deceive others, intentionally or not. It calls attention to the harm that can come from our words and actions, and encourages listeners to be more mindful of the impact we have on others.
