The truth
pak.one Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Truth that sounds right to our ears
We have all heard what we wanted to hear
Truth that sounds right to our ears
But what wisdom is there within us
To live based on the feeling of our hearts
How many times has instinct let us down
Say what you really mean
When your ambition calls you, calls you?
For what use is there in praying
If you will only hear what you want to hear?
We have all heard what we wanted to hear
Truth that sounds right to our ears
We speak of fighting to resist this world
But what about the battle within us?
If we have chosen to live against the grain
Then why are we all facing the same way?
There is no difference between us and them
If we all blindly seek truth from sentiments
We have all heard what we wanted to hear
Truth that sounds right to our ears
We have all heard what we wanted to hear
Truth that sounds right to our ears
We have all heard what we wanted to hear
Truth that sounds right to our ears
In the song "The Truth" by pak.one, the lyrics express the idea that often people only hear what they want to hear and believe what sounds good to them without questioning or analyzing it. The song questions the wisdom of living life based only on one's feelings and instincts which can lead to disappointment and regret. The lyrics also highlight the hypocrisy in claiming to resist the world while following the same pattern as everyone else, seeking truth from sentiments instead of seeking understanding.
The song urges listeners to say what they truly mean even if it contradicts their ambitions, implying that being truthful is more important than following one's desires blindly. The repetition of the line "we have all heard what we wanted to hear" emphasizes the idea that people often ignore the truth and instead accept what they find comforting or easy to hear.
In conclusion, the song encourages listeners to question their assumptions and not to blindly follow sentiments or instincts. It highlights that true wisdom comes from analyzing and understanding things, rather than simply accepting them.
