Information
Trouble in the Wind Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh that information
Oh that pain in your eyes
I don't need to know everything
All the time

And you turn your head so slow
When somebody just has to go
And there's no point
And there's no time

And I really think
I've gone and done it
I found the truth as I was running from it

Way down
Deep down
Inside

And I don't know what it was
That I expected

Am I getting better
Have I been corrected

I was way down




I was deep down
In my heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Trouble in the Wind's song "Information" talks about the consequences of too much information in a society that thrives on constantly being connected and informed. The pain in one's eyes when they know too much, and the desire to turn a blind eye when someone has to leave. The singer recognizes that they don't need to know everything all the time and that sometimes, ignorance is bliss. He also confesses to running from the truth, indicating the fear that comes with being informed about things that might be difficult to accept. The refrain of being "way down deep down inside" signifies the internal conflict that comes with having to choose between knowing and not knowing.


The song displays a realistic representation of living in an age where there is an abundance of readily available information. There is a difference between living in a society that is smart and enlightened and the one that is too informed about everything. The repercussions of too much information are highlighted; it might not always serve as a positive thing. The song captures the internal conflict of an individual in a society that values information, telling them that they have to stay informed to keep up but also acknowledges the stress that comes with always having to know.
