The truth
dr dog Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Round and round, like the moon
It's coming down, the truth don't stop
It's really coming
The truth don't stop, it's falling hard
The truth don't stop
Another day, the truth don't stop, thunder and lightening
The devil's done, I pay my dues
But it just won't quit, he don't like to lose
It's coming down, the truth don't stop
It's really coming
The truth don't stop, it's falling hard
The truth don't stop
Another day, the truth don't stop, thunder and lightening
Let the rain fall, let the rain fall
Let the rain fall, let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
The lyrics in "The Truth" by Dr. Dog display a sense of resilience in the face of the truth. The truth is continuously coming down and falling hard, but it also has the power to make you move and go round and round like the moon. The resiliency is shown in the lyrics "the devil's done, I pay my dues, but it just won't quit, he don't like to lose." This suggests that even though the devil has done some harm, the truth is still coming and cannot be stopped. The repetition of "the truth don't stop" creates a sense of urgency and persistence, emphasizing that the truth is not something to be ignored or avoided.
The bridge of the song, "Let the rain fall," is interesting because it adds another layer of metaphor to the song. Rain can be seen as cleansing or purifying, washing away any lies or deceit and revealing the truth. The thunder and lightning referenced in the lyrics enhance this sense of cleansing and purification, suggesting that the truth is powerful and cannot be ignored.
