Trust No One
myballoon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is my family I'm so proud
But you don't know the first thing about
This community, I think you're lost without
C'mon commercialize your soul
Everybody needs to dig his own hole
You can trust no one
Take this train there's no return
Throw your identity out of the window -
You've got to learn
To make money, that's your concern
Lose your best friends, that's what you earn
What is goin' on with me
Why don't I feel free
The lyrics of "Trust No One" by myballoon seem to criticize the current state of society where individuals are expected to prioritize their own financial gain over genuine human connections. The singer acknowledges the apparent unity and pride within their family or community, but argues that outsiders do not possess a true understanding of the dynamic. The call to "commercialize your soul" could suggest that people are sacrificing their personal values for profit and success. The lyrics assert that the pursuit of wealth is isolating and damaging to relationships, as individuals are encouraged to prioritize their financial gain and abandon their connections with others. The chorus "Don't believe 'em, you can trust no one" highlights the theme of distrust and the difficulty in forming valuable relationships in a world driven by greed and individual gain. The need to "throw your identity out of the window" symbolizes the pressure to mold oneself into the expectations of society in order to succeed, and the singer expresses a sense of confusion and lack of personal freedom in this situation.
