Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think about you all the time
Why do i feel like i'm dying
Don't know, but i'll keep on trying
Think about the things we did
And how it brought me happiness
I'm in love with you
I know my love for you is true
You've been on my mind
I think about you all the time
Why do i feel like i'm dying
Don't know, but i'll keep on trying
Think about the things we did
And how it brought me happiness
I'm in love with you
I know my love for you is true
She's been on my mind
Think about her all the time
She's been on my mind
Think about her all the time
She's been on my mind
Think about her all the time
She's been on my mind
Think about her all the time
You've been on my mind
I think about you all the time
Why do i feel like i'm dying
Don't know, but i'll keep on trying
Think about the things we did
And how it brought me happiness
I'm in love with you
I know my love for you is true
Yung Cortex's song "True" is a heart-wrenching piece that conveys the feeling of longing for someone who is no longer present in the singer's life. The repetition of the first four lines, "You've been on my mind, I think about you all the time, Why do I feel like I'm dying, Don't know, but I'll keep on trying," emphasizes the depth of the singer's emotions, indicating that this person holds a significant place in their heart. The line "Think about the things we did and how it brought me happiness" highlights the beautiful memories they shared together and how it adds to the singer's pain and their desire to keep trying to keep the relationship alive. The line "I'm in love with you, I know my love for you is true" is a clear indication of the singer's commitment to the person they're missing, and their feelings persist through time and lack of connection.
The chorus "She's been on my mind, think about her all the time" instead of "You've been on my mind" indicates a shift in perspective. It shows vulnerability and acknowledges how the woman they're discussing weighs heavily on their heart, and they cannot seem to escape her presence or memories. However, despite their awareness of how much they still love this woman, the singer cannot seem to rekindle the relationship. The repetition of the chorus adds to the obsession the singer is feeling for this woman, signaling that they can't get their mind off her.
Overall, the song "True" is a tribute to all the people who have loved and lost. The lyrics, combined with melancholic beats, convey an overarching sense of sadness, longing, and nostalgia. Yung Cortex's lyrics remind us how love can be both beautiful and painful and the unpredictability of its outcomes.
