The Truth
the moon and monday Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth
I saw a blemish in the great light
There's a shadow in the shine
I saw mourning, I saw celebration
From all those creatures in the sky

There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth

There was smoke across the day
Heavy plumes up off the pyre
I heard whispered refrains
In the woods, they used to pray

There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth

There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth

There's a circle beyond time
There's a light on for the blind
There's no senses, no signs
There's no truth and there's no lies

There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth
There is no truth but the new truth
Some quiet (there is no truth but the new truth)
Some loud (there is no truth but the new truth)
A promise (there is no truth but the new truth)




Sealed in vows (there is no truth but the new truth)
There is no truth

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "The Truth" by To the Moon and Monday reflect the idea that truth is not absolute but rather fluid, and that it can change and evolve over time. The repetition of "there is no truth but the new truth" emphasizes this idea, suggesting that we should always be open to new perspectives and ideas. The verses describe different scenes, such as a blemish in the great light and smoke across the day, which symbolize imperfections and struggles in life. However, the chorus reminds us that in the end, there is no fixed truth and that we must be willing to embrace the unknown.


The line "There's a circle beyond time" suggests that there may be a higher truth or understanding that transcends time and space. Similarly, the phrase "there's no senses, no signs" implies that truth might not depend on physical evidence or the five senses, but rather on intuition or other forms of knowing. The song's ambiguous lyrics leave room for interpretation, but overall, the message seems to be about the importance of staying open-minded and flexible when it comes to our beliefs and perceptions.
