The Truth Is So Boring
Soulwax Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We all have each other
Once you were beautiful
Now I am myself
We all had each other
Everything ends in perfume
We all had each other
We'll do what we've done to please
What friends are not supposed to see
The truth is so boring
We all had each other
My instinct for failure
It's always been good to you
We all had each other
No-one is left to believe
The truth is so boring
Our names do not appear
The answer may be known for years
What friends are not suppose to tell
Everything happens
No-one was wrong
The truth is so boring
We all have each other
Once you were beautiful
Now I am myself
We all had each other
Everything ends in perfume
We all had each other
No-one is safe from here
We'll do what we've done to please
What friends are not supposed to see
Everything happens
No-one was wrong
Everything happens
No-one was wrong
Everything happens
Everything happens
Nothing did happen
The lyrics of Soulwax's song The Truth Is So Boring may seem a bit cryptic and open for interpretation, but they convey a sense of disillusionment and the inadequacy of truth in our lives. The truth is perceived as dull as it fails to live up to the expectations of providing us with meaning, purpose, and happiness. Instead, we turn to each other, seeking human connections and relationships as means of filling the void left by the unsatisfactory notion of truth.
The lines "once you were beautiful, now I am myself" suggest a sense of individualism and self-discovery amidst this search for meaning. The song conveys a feeling of isolation and emotional distance, indicating how human connections can be both a source of comfort and confusion. The repetition of the line "what friends are not supposed to see" highlights the idea of how we keep certain aspects of ourselves hidden from others, creating a facade to maintain relationships.
The song's refrain of "everything happens, no one was wrong" reinforces the idea that life is a relentless cycle of events, some of which are not necessarily within our control, and that assigning blame or fault is irrelevant. The song emphasizes our need to connect with others and find a sense of comradeship in a world that can sometimes feel devoid of meaning.
