truth
Zayn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My luck's on the game
Can't find a way through
Don't know how many times
I had to say this to you
This ain't my scene
This weren't my dream
It was all yours, all of course
I got caught up in this game
And you know I won't say names of who's who blurring

I won't point any fingers
I won't say it was you
I let life take its time
Any time you see the truth
I won't ask any questions
I won't say it was you
I'll let life take its time
Any time you see the truth

See the truth
See the truth
See the truth
See the truth
See the truth
See the truth
See the truth
See the truth

My own mind was in the way
Front seat, new view
Don't know how many times
I've had to talk you through
My dreams, new scenes with enemies
I got caught up in this game
A game

I won't point any fingers
I won't say it was you
I let life take it's time
Any time you see the truth

See the truth
See the truth
See the truth
See the truth
See the truth
See the truth
See the truth
See the truth

Don't try to hide it all
Don't try, don't try
Don't try, hide it all
Don't try to hide it all
Don't try, don't try
Don't try, hide it all

I won't point any fingers
I won't say it was you
I let life take its time
Any time you see the truth

See the truth
See the truth
See the truth
See the truth
See the truth
See the truth




See the truth
See the truth

Overall Meaning

In "Truth," Zayn talks about feeling lost and disconnected from a world that isn't his. He confesses that his luck is tied to the game he's caught up in, unable to find a way through as he struggles to navigate the complexities of the life he's chosen. He admits that he got caught up in a dream that wasn't his, and now he's paying the price. Despite all the finger-pointing and blame, Zayn refuses to name names or point fingers. He's taking responsibility for his own part in the game and choosing to let life take its course.


Zayn then shifts focus to his own mind, which he admits was once in the way. With a new view in the front seat, he's found himself dreaming of new scenes and battling new enemies, all while caught up in the same game he doesn't really want to be in. He reminds listeners that he won't try to hide anything, choosing instead to let life reveal the hidden truths over time. The last lines of the song repeat the phrase "See the truth" eight times, driving home the message that honesty and transparency are key to moving forward.

I am hearing this song
At midnight
With Diana and Olivia
Wearing little black dress
Long way down from my home
Turned into 18.
Wrote a song (I wanna right you a song )
.
After hearing this song
I said
It was the best song ever.^3 ( line from best song ever)
Searching history
And I died.
This is
The story of my life
Like if you get it.

this song seems to be about simon and their management, how he didn't want to be in a band and how he always had different dreams but simon/management were always pushing him down .."this wasn't my dream it was all yours of course," his xfactor/1D journey was like "my luck's on the game can't find a way through", and how he was always put down "don't know how many times I had to say this to you, this ain't my scene" and how he couldn't go solo earlier "I got caught up in this game", and... zayn "won't say names" but we may infer lol...and then zayn talks about himself as a new artist, solo, "front seat new view" and says how many times he tried to "don't know how many times I had to talk you through my dreams"

@zarinmuskan9118

Omg

@jayngb

K T Oh shit, when you put it like that it makes me look at the song and the lyrics a whole different way.. same thing for Good Years. Someone pointed out that that song is about 1D too

@ku4546

Just what does larry have to do with all this... Louis even said that this shit was disrespectful to his girlfriend and it even destroyed that "solid" friendship/brothership he had with harry... :'(
