The Fantastic Truth
Time Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where all your beliefs are dangling from a rope
This is the fantastic truth
Where everything's beautiful and there's no hope for hope
Nothing is stable, it's all dependent on thought
The key to the universe is forgiveness
Ego is the problem, the anchor is guilt
This life's a roller coaster a 5 second ride
Aliens, angels and humans are the same inside
We're all separated from god, cause of ego there's no such thing
As evil that goes back to the thought part
Cause even the afterlife is fake, there's no sin
There's no heaven and hell, good and bad's a mistake
Cause no religion is right but Buddhism is the closest
But still take slow sips, of universal knowledge
From jesus and moses
Kindness is your dharma, happiness is your karma
Everything is your perception
So don't look at death as bad cause everything needs an exit
And yes there are ghosts, but they're just confused souls
Reincarnation is real, we come back cause of guilt
Fear is the problem, intoxication helps
We live in a world where something the size of this
Can take you on a trip, and make you see shhh
Drugs and alcohol make you feel content
But habit it a ritual that turns to cement
People tell the truth when they're drunk cause it numbs the ego
How can one man tell another man somethings illegal
Everything happens for a reason, words are things
So what you say manifests, be careful what you sing
Forgiveness, ego, do you notice a theme?
Forgiveness, fear, do you notice a theme?
Forgiveness, guilt, do you notice a theme?
This is the truth do you know what I mean?
This is the fantastic truth
Where all your beliefs are dangling from a rope
This is the fantastic truth
Where everything's beautiful and there's no hope for hope
There's no hope for hope cause it's not even needed
This world's a placebo your instincts are seeded
Without instinct we'd all be extinct
Cause we wouldn't want to make love, ego is envy
It's the reason for jealousy, war and quote "evil"
It's the reason for problems, this song and people
Enlightened ones with third eye sight
Try to light the way but we squint cause it's bright
We're on separate paths heading to the same place
Life's an algebra problem X equals faith
There's other dimensions, but they vibrate at different speeds
To where we can't see, so we say we don't believe
Jesus and hitler are the same as you and me
Read a course in miracles, this world isn't real
The big bang, banged when we thought of ourselves
Don't get rid of your ego say you never had one
Cause if you got rid of it that means that you had one
There no such thing as anything
God doesn't even acknowledge the world, cause it's a dream
The universe shrinks every time we forgive
We're here to remember, to wake-up to live
All roads lead to good only close minds have gates
If religion didn't create god then why did they give him human traits
Maybe Nietzsche was right or maybe Nietzsche was wrong
Or your religion is right and these are all lies in this song
One day it'll all make pennies, nickels or change
Everything occurs for reason, words are things
Forgiveness, ego, do you notice a theme?
Forgiveness, fear, do you notice a theme?
Forgiveness, guilt, do you notice a theme?
Truth, truth, do you notice a theme?
No ones better then anyone, do you notice a theme?
This is the truth do you know what I mean?
There is no truth do you know what I mean?
In Time's song The Fantastic Truth, the lyrics explore the concept of truth and belief systems. The song asserts that there is no truth, but rather a fantastic truth where all beliefs are hanging from a rope. The lyrics suggest that forgiveness is key to the universe as ego, guilt, and fear act as anchors that prevent people from achieving their true potential. The song talks about how everything is dependent on thought and perception, and encourages people to be mindful of their words and actions as they possess the power to manifest their reality.

It explores the idea of reincarnation and ghosts as confused souls, and suggests that the afterlife is not real.

The lyrics call for people to embrace forgiveness, letting go of guilt and ego, and instead focus on kindness and happiness as their dharma and karma. Overall, the song suggests that people should be mindful of their thoughts and actions, seek to forgive themselves and others, and live in a way that contributes to the collective good.
