Truth
The Azoic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I taste, what you breathe
I cannot explain this
I feel like something takes me higher
Do you have substance?
Do you know fear?
Have you looked inside yourself?
Will you?
Oh, can you?
Step outside the bounds
Force new thought and reason
Challenge your mind with altered grounds
I know and I see
So clear, inside your pain
Because I've looked inward
Immersed so deep
I can't explain
Are you ready to accept all life's demands?
Will you go beyond?
Push further, by command
Have you looked inside yourself?
The truth lies inside of your eyes
Don't misbelieve what I say
It's within you, but deep inside
Why, oh why do you run away?
Analyze all that you've found
Accept nothing at appearance
Search deep within yourself
I'll be your perseverance
Trust who?
Trust you
Trust me
Look deep
Look long
Look back
Go forth
Move beyond
Be strong
Don't be left behind
Don't fall
Don't give up
Look inside
Inside for truth
Inside my eyes
You'll see you're changing all the things you've defied
Will you?
Oh, can you?
Step outside the bounds
Force new thought and reason
Challenge your mind with altered grounds
I know and I see
So clear, inside your pain
Because I've looked inward
Immersed so deep
I can't explain
Trust who?
Trust you
Trust me
Look deep
Look long
Look back
Go forth
Move beyond
Be strong
Don't be left behind
Don't fall
Don't give up
Look inside
Immerse yourself inside
The Azoic's song "Truth" speaks to the idea of self-exploration and discovery. The lyrics ask the listener if they have taken the time to truly examine their life, feelings, and thoughts. The lead singer acknowledges that they themselves have delved deep into introspection, but cannot fully explain the experience. The song encourages the listener to step outside their comfort zone, challenge their assumptions, and look within themselves for truth.
The repetition of phrases like "look inside," "trust me," and "be strong" reinforce the idea that this exploration is a personal journey, one that requires bravery and persistence. The lyrics also reference the theme of pain and struggle, implying that true growth often comes from facing and overcoming difficulties. The line "the truth lies inside of your eyes" suggests that our perceptions of the world are shaped by our own experiences and understanding.
Overall, "Truth" serves as a reminder to prioritize self-reflection and personal growth in the face of life's challenges. It encourages the listener to push beyond what they know and embrace the unknown.
