Stone Cold Truth
Unveiling Life's Harsh Realities: Stone Cold Truth by Brooke Dia
Lyrics
The world has got you, in the palm of its hand
The world has a strong influence on you, controlling your fate.
Don't let it fool you, cause I know it can
Be cautious and don't be deceived by the world, as it has the ability to mislead.
When you learn the demons of a man
Understanding the flaws or inner struggles of a person.
When you see how lonely it gets, yeah
Recognizing the profound loneliness one can experience.
I was taught if you ain't got nothin' nice to say don't say nothin' at all
Adhering to the advice of not speaking unless you have something positive to say.
Well I'm getting older
Aging is a natural process.
No one follows that at all
Observing that people often don't follow the advice mentioned in line 5.
When you see the innocence is gone, yeah you'll know
Realizing the loss of innocence.
You're gonna grow old, the ones you love will too
Acknowledging the inevitability of aging for oneself and loved ones.
You're gonna grow bold, as long as you want to
Embracing courage and assertiveness as long as desired.
Don't you turn cold as stone
Warning against becoming emotionally detached or unfeeling.
When you learn the stone cold truth
Understanding a harsh and unvarnished reality.
People will lie, they will shoot you down
Acknowledging that people may deceive and harm others due to their own self-hate.
Just to hide the hate they have for themselves
Highlighting the destructive nature of hidden animosity.
You will see poverty don't show with a piece of paper
Wealth or poverty isn't always evident through material possessions.
But the love that you know
Emphasizing the importance of love in contrast to material wealth.
You're gonna grow old, the ones you love will too
Reiterating the inevitability of aging for oneself and loved ones.
You're gonna grow bold, as long as you want to
Encouraging personal growth and assertiveness.
Don't you turn cold as stone
Cautioning against emotional numbness or indifference.
When you learn the stone cold truth
Understanding a harsh and unvarnished reality.
You can do whatever you want to
Empowering the listener with the freedom to choose their path.
You can be whoever you want to
Encouraging self-expression and identity.
Don't wanna see the bad things but you have to
Facing and acknowledging the unpleasant aspects of life.
And when the innocence is gone...
Referring to the loss of innocence mentioned earlier in the lyrics.
You're gonna grow old, the ones you love will too
Reiterating the inevitability of aging for oneself and loved ones.
You're gonna grow bold, as long as you want to
Encouraging personal growth and assertiveness.
Don't you turn cold as stone
Cautioning against emotional numbness or indifference.
When you learn the stone cold truth
Understanding a harsh and unvarnished reality.
