The Truth Will Set You Free
Twiztid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They'll probably tell you he's a drunken asshole
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
You hire lawyers and I watch and read about it for weeks
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 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.

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

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
