The term Various Artists is used in the record industry when numerous singers and musicians collaborate on a song or collection of songs. Most often on Last.fm, compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information.
Compilation albums, for example.
Sometimes, single releases may be credited to Various Artists when their profits are going to charity and, usually in high-profile cases, are sometimes known by a group name. Examples include Band Aid with their releases of Do They Know It's Christmas? and USA for Africa with We Are The World.
Various Artists is also an actual performance name for Torsten Pröfrock, who runs the German DIN label. Torsten performs also as Dynamo, Erosion, Resilent, Traktor besides some others. He's a good friend of Robert Henke and since the Fall of 2004, he is a member of Monolake.
Various Artists was also a short-lived Bristol punk band formed by brothers Jonjo and Robin Key (originally from Birmingham). Other members were also simultaneously in Art Objects who went on to become The Blue Aeroplanes, the latter the Key brothers also co-wrote some songs and were involved in. When Various Artists imploded, the Key brothers went on to form Either / Or.
Various Artists also appear on tracks from musical theater soundtracks, due to the nature of having many cast members on one song, as well as an ensemble in some cases.
The Truth
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spinning all around nothing else they can do to turn it back
Breaking partnership in this crime
Ripping up the past, condescending smile
Time to forget
The falling of my truth
Time to forget
Come and tease me
Clock is ticking while I'm still in time
Can't you turn it back?
Stop the cycle set me free, run away
Silence sneaking around my path
Wrap the rope off me, feeling like we'll fly
Feeling like we'll fly
Time to forget
The falling of my truth
Time to forget
Our ways of our truth
Time to forget
The falling of my truth
Time to forget
Our ways of our truth
The lyrics to "The Truth" express a sense of urgency and desperation, as the singer is trying to escape the past and move on from a destructive partnership. The clock ticking represents the passage of time, and the feeling of being trapped with no way to turn back. The singer is breaking free from someone who was condescending and oppressive towards them, and tearing down the old, negative patterns of the past.
The repeated refrain of "Time to forget" suggests that the singer wants to let go of the past and move on, but it also has a sense of warning - they need to forget in order to survive and protect themselves. The line "Come and tease me" could be interpreted as a plea for someone to help them break free, or as a taunt to the person they are leaving behind.
Overall, "The Truth" is a song about self-liberation and the difficult process of breaking free from negative patterns and relationships. The imagery of flying suggests the singer is experiencing a sense of joy and freedom, but the repeated emphasis on forgetting suggests they are not yet fully free from the past.

$200K for studio time? 😂 Or spend 25K on the same studio equipment once and put it in your house to own forever.
@Blackowl44
I hope your joking . I know a studio in Hollywood that’s has a $10,000 mic alone in it’s studio b room. All the big artist go there.
@Blackowl44
And some of those mixing boards are like minimum $80k - 100k alone not including all of the hardware and wires.
@smallzdrudeboy1165
@@Blackowl44 yea but u don’t necessarily need a 10k mic and 100k mixer to make a record
