truth
northern19 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know how to strain a man's will to live
I know how to force death down you
I know what it takes to cross the line
I know what it costs to lose your mind again

'Cause life inside of me
Is filled with things you can't imagine
'Cause life inside of you
Is only there because of my will

I don't live for your sake
I live for truth
I will give last bits of hope
I will give a truth

You try to make your way through the days
You think you affect your own life
You're not what you think you are, you'll never be
You life is mine. You're mine forevermore





[Solo: K.Ranta, D.Freyberg]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to northern19's song TRUTH are dark and possessive, depicting a person who believes they have the power to control and manipulate others to the point of breaking them. The first two lines show that the singer is not afraid to use violence to get what they want, revealing a merciless and cold disposition. The following two lines suggest that they have already crossed the line before, and are willing to do it again, implying a dangerous and unstable nature.


The chorus reveals a deep sense of superiority and self-righteousness. The singer believes that their life is superior to others around them, and even refers to themselves as a life form. They are filled with things that others cannot imagine, suggesting that they are somehow more evolved or enlightened than those around them. The second half of the chorus is even more chilling, as they reveal that other people exist only because of their will. This suggests a God complex, as if they have the power to give or take away life at will.


The final verse reveals that the singer is not only controlling and possessive, but also delusional. They believe that others are not in control of their own lives, and that they are the ones who have the power to determine their fate. The final line, "You're mine forevermore," is ominous, suggesting that the singer will never let go of their control over the other person.

The devil faces an angel on this table
The scene that I was able to subtilize so as to feel beating
The fellow said in this way,
"Coming back that you can never."
You cast yourself for this game with risky hopes

Knock it down
in the pure white circuit
Dye and dye
the color only for you
Don't miss the eyes
because many troubles are drawing near close to you
Break it through the way
that's swayed by black
Go and charge
with bet all of you
The real fate is made by you

The fellow said,"Unexpectedly never lose all."
Because here should be all the things wich you wanted in those days
You mind it only other
and lose sight of your way will cause many regrets after this
"Don't stay."

Knock it down
in the pure white circuit
Dye and dye
the color only for you
Don't miss the eyes
because many troubles are drawing near close to you
Break it through the way
that's swayed by black
Go and charge
with bet all of you
The real fate is made from your true heart
It be never swayed your fate
