O.K. This Is The Pops
Tones on Tail Lyrics

The lyrics of Tones on Tail's song O.K. This Is The Pops suggest a message of deception and how it affects people's perception of reality. The first verse talks about falling off the edge and being blind, which could refer to someone who willingly chooses to ignore the truth and only believe lies. The second line, "to know the truth, but only use lies," echoes the same sentiment. The chorus, "don't let trouble climb, my friend, the golden rule," advises against getting into trouble and encourages following the golden rule, which is a moral code that suggests treating others the way you want to be treated. The repeated line, "o.k. this is the pops," signifies that everything is fine, or perhaps a way of brushing off the lies and deception as if they don't matter.

The second verse talks about being deceptive and not letting others know the truth about oneself. The line, "creep, creep, creep up, but don't ever be real," suggests that someone should move up the ladder of success or climb towards their goals while hiding their true intentions. The line, "use only your eyes," suggests that someone should only rely on their own perception of things and not trust others. The third verse talks about the importance of remaining hidden and not exposing oneself, "a good walker leaves no tracks, a good door needs no lock." It suggests that someone should not reveal their true self, which is their only weakness. The line, "no one can be sure, my friend, where truth begins and fiction ends," suggests that deception can blur the lines between truth and lies, making it harder to distinguish between the two.
