Whole Truth
Unveiling the Truth: Michael Penn's "Whole Truth" Revelations
Lyrics
Monday
Referencing the start of the week, Monday.
Seventeen degrees
Temperature is noted at seventeen degrees.
The shadows disappear
Describing a situation where darkness or uncertainty dissipates.
All around you dear
Addressing someone affectionately.
Until it's loud and clear
Until something becomes evident and unmistakable.
Isn't it the truth
Questioning the accuracy of a statement, hinting at doubt.
The whole truth
Emphasizing the importance of revealing the complete truth.
Nothing but the truth
Stressing the need for absolute honesty.
So help me
Asking for assistance in stating the absolute truth.
The whole truth
Reiterating the importance of expressing the whole truth.
Nothing but the truth
Emphasizing the necessity of complete honesty.
So help me God
Mentioning a solemn declaration often used in legal contexts.
I'm the bad guy
Portraying oneself as the antagonist or the perceived 'bad' character.
Waiting in the wings
Waiting for an opportunity to act or be noticed.
And the key light hat
Referencing being in the spotlight but failing to make an impact.
All my words fall flat
Expressing frustration about ineffective communication.
But I'm used to that
Indicating a familiarity or comfort with failure in communication.
Getting to the truth
Desire to reach or uncover the absolute truth.
The whole truth
Emphasizing the necessity of revealing the complete truth.
Nothing but the truth
Stressing the importance of absolute honesty.
So help me
Asking for assistance in stating the absolute truth.
The whole truth
Reiterating the importance of expressing the whole truth.
Nothing but the truth
Emphasizing the necessity of complete honesty.
So help me God
Mentioning a solemn declaration often used in legal contexts.
Baby if you want to talk
Offering support and availability for conversation.
I'll be there to listen
Expressing willingness to listen.
Neither rain,
Denoting that adverse weather conditions won't hinder availability.
Not hail nor sleet or snow
Specifically referencing challenging conditions on a particular road.
But Cahuenga is stop and go
Stating personal knowledge about traffic conditions.
This much I do know
Asserting a limited certainty in one's understanding.
All I want's the truth
Expressing the desire for absolute truth.
The whole truth
Emphasizing the necessity of revealing the complete truth.
Nothing but the truth
Stressing the importance of absolute honesty.
So help me
Asking for assistance in stating the absolute truth.
The whole truth
Reiterating the importance of expressing the whole truth.
Nothing but the truth
Emphasizing the necessity of complete honesty.
So help me God
Mentioning a solemn declaration often used in legal contexts.
