The Truth Will Set You Free
Twiztid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And then say it with such conviction you'll believe them and I know
I sit and listen to all the little drama
All the who's baby mama, who's addicted to blah, blah, blah
Who gives a fuck it's probably all a big lie
A way to get the people talking and walking to get in line
A way to keep the name going but sometimes it backfires
And then everybody but you is nothing more than a liar
While the media transforms and digs deep
And you believe the media so much
That your opinion is now a fact regardless of what they told us
The jury's back and everybody's on the edge of their seat
They read the verdict and it says not guilty
And you expect that we believe in what you say
When everything that you been saying is nothing more than a fake
The truth will set you free
It's all false to me, things ain't always what they seem to be
The truth will set you free
Take a look around, look on they face, they as confused as me
The truth will set you free
It's all false to me, things ain't always what they seem to be
The truth will set you free
Take a look around, look on they face, they as confused as me
We smoke light green when we meditating
Newports when conversating
Asian carpet woce so well it keep us levitating
Like Aladdin but we're stealing souls like a reaper
Look into my eyeball ring we both see you
Dilated and intergrated mixed with the madness
All traps and no cheese creates sadness
And if this is life, am I living in a maze
Feeling like Jimmy Hendrix always seeing purple haze
But what a beautiful color for such a delusion
Government trying to clone suckas with cell fusion
Now tell me what is that, stealing individuality
Beefing up the army all brawn with no mentality
Can you see through the face like cellophane
We're the voice in the back of your brain tucked away
But your sanity is such a lie
Don't believe me mother fucker, open up your eyes
See what's going on
The truth will set you free
It's all false to me, things ain't always what they seem to be
The truth will set you free
Take a look around, look on they face, they as confused as me
The truth will set you free
It's all false to me, things ain't always what they seem to be
The truth will set you free
Take a look around, look on they face, they as confused as me
You need to check your surroundings it's so commercialized
Got to have the name brand shit to enhance your shine, is it
civilized
Seems more human than human seeing the mutant alive
Breathing inside the music
And the truth is only what they want you to know
Because they know too much would break control
And cause an overload in your perfect humdrum so predictable
Reality of life where everything is fictional
Organized like La Costa Nostra
Bring the truth like Carl the Tooth, it's game over
Slang yola weed and that boy liked to worship satan
The dark arts were like toys
Ouija boards and all kinds of little demons
Being sent into this world from my poisonous semen
If you believe in anything you heard I just said
Then before the song is over everybody will be dead
The truth will set you free
It's all false to me, things ain't always what they seem to be
The truth will set you free
Take a look around, look on they face, they as confused as me
The truth will set you free
It's all false to me, things ain't always what they seem to be
The truth will set you free
Take a look around, look on they face, they as confused as me
The truth will set you free
It's all false to me, things ain't always what they seem to be
The truth will set you free
Take a look around, look on they face, they as confused as me
The truth will set you free
It's all false to me, things ain't always what they seem to be
The truth will set you free
Take a look around, look on they face, they as confused as me
The lyrics of Twiztid's song "The Truth Will Set You Free" focus on the idea that the media and society often manipulate and distort the truth. The song's verses depict different scenarios in which the media portrays someone in a negative light or spreads false rumors, and how people are quick to believe what they hear without questioning its validity. The chorus emphasizes that only the truth can truly free someone from the lies and illusions surrounding them.
In the first verse, the singer notes how the media often twists the truth to keep people talking and to generate publicity. The media's constant attention and dramatization of events can lead to an inaccurate perception of reality. The second verse touches on themes of spiritualism and the dangers of conformity, with the singer cautioning against blindly following society's norms and losing one's individuality. The bridge of the song explores the idea that the truth is often censored or withheld because it would reveal too much, and those in power prefer to keep the public in the dark.
Overall, "The Truth Will Set You Free" is a commentary on the ways in which people are limited by the lies they are told and urges listeners to seek out the truth for themselves.
Line by Line Meaning
They'll probably tell you he's a drunken asshole
Others will give you biased opinions about someone that may not necessarily be true
And then say it with such conviction you'll believe them and I know
People will say things in a way that will make you believe it without questioning its accuracy
I sit and listen to all the little drama
I observe all the insignificant things that people make a fuss about
All the who's baby mama, who's addicted to blah, blah, blah
All the gossip that spreads around about people and their personal lives
Who gives a fuck it's probably all a big lie
None of it really matters as it is highly likely all of it is untrue
A way to get the people talking and walking to get in line
It's a strategy used to manipulate people in a particular direction and get them to follow the crowd
A way to keep the name going but sometimes it backfires
Sometimes it creates negative consequences that harm the reputation of the person or people involved
And then everybody but you is nothing more than a liar
Everyone except the accused becomes a liar
You hire lawyers and I watch and read about it for weeks
The accused party hires lawyers while the observer watches and reads about the events for an extended period
While the media transforms and digs deep
The media takes the story and makes it more dramatic by digging deep and uncovering more details
And you believe the media so much
People tend to believe the media without questioning its accuracy
That your opinion is now a fact regardless of what they told us
People take the media's version of events as factual, regardless of whether it is the truth or not
The jury's back and everybody's on the edge of their seat
The court case's verdict is awaited with excitement and anticipation
They read the verdict and it says not guilty
The verdict comes out as not guilty
And you expect that we believe in what you say
People expect others to believe what they say without question
When everything that you been saying is nothing more than a fake
People's version of events can be completely untrue and therefore not to be trusted
We smoke light green when we meditating
We smoke marijuana when we are meditating
Newports when conversating
We smoke Newport cigarettes while having conversations
Asian carpet woce so well it keep us levitating
The carpet is weaved by Asians and is so well-crafted that it makes us feel like we are levitating
Like Aladdin but we're stealing souls like a reaper
We are like Aladdin, but instead of stealing material things, we take people's souls like a grim reaper
Look into my eyeball ring we both see you
Looking into our eyeballs, we can see each other
Dilated and integrated mixed with the madness
The pupils in our eyes are dilated due to the mixture of drugs and insanity
All traps and no cheese creates sadness
Being trapped in a situation without any benefits leads to depression
And if this is life, am I living in a maze
If this is what life is, then it's like being stuck in a labyrinth
Feeling like Jimmy Hendrix always seeing purple haze
Feeling like Jimmy Hendrix and always experiencing psychedelic drug effects
But what a beautiful color for such a delusion
The colors of the delusion are beautiful
Government trying to clone suckas with cell fusion
The government is attempting to clone people using cell fusion
Now tell me what is that, stealing individuality
This act removes people's uniqueness
Beefing up the army all brawn with no mentality
Expanding the military, but not providing them with the necessary intelligence
Can you see through the face like cellophane
Can you see through someone's lies like you can see through cellophane
We're the voice in the back of your brain tucked away
We are the thoughts in your subconscious that are hidden
But your sanity is such a lie
Your mental stability is untrue
Don't believe me mother fucker, open up your eyes
Don't believe me, look around and see the reality
You need to check your surroundings it's so commercialized
You need to evaluate your environment, which is heavily influenced by materialism
Got to have the name brand shit to enhance your shine, is it civilized
People need to have name brand products to make themselves more attractive, but is this morally justifiable?
Seems more human than human seeing the mutant alive
Sometimes the mutants (freaks) seem more human than the actual humans
Breathing inside the music
The music has a life of its own
And the truth is only what they want you to know
The truth is controlled by those in power
Because they know too much would break control
If people knew too much, it would challenge the authority's control
And cause an overload in your perfect humdrum so predictable
It would disrupt people's monotonous and predictable life
Reality of life where everything is fictional
The reality of life has become a grand fiction story
Organized like La Costa Nostra
Organized crime, like the La Costa Nostra, is very planned and strategic in their operations
Bring the truth like Carl the Tooth, it's game over
The truth will be revealed, like Carl the Tooth, and the game is over
Slang yola weed and that boy liked to worship satan
We slang cocaine and sell marijuana while the buyer is a Satan worshipper
The dark arts were like toys
The occult was played with like it's toy by the Satan worshipper
Ouija boards and all kinds of little demons
They use Ouija boards and other demon summoning rituals
Being sent into this world from my poisonous semen
Evil offspring resulting from me having sex
If you believe in anything you heard I just said
If you believe everything I just said, without questioning, then you are misguided
Then before the song is over everybody will be dead
Before the song ends, everyone will be dead
The truth will set you free
Only the truth will set you free from the lies and manipulation around you
It's all false to me, things ain't always what they seem to be
Perceptions can be deceiving as many things are not what they appear to be
Take a look around, look on they face, they as confused as me
If you observe people's reactions, they are just as lost and confused as you are

I wonder how awake they are...
