True
Embracing Truth: Sarah Sorenson's Anthem of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
My head hits the pillow and I try to fall asleep
Expressing the attempt to sleep, setting the stage for introspection.
That's when all the voices start calling out to me
Voices symbolize internal doubts and criticisms surfacing.
You're not good enough and you'll never measure up
Feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt.
If I'm being honest, I'd say I agree
Admitting agreement with the negative self-assessment.
But you remind me who I am, remind me who I am
Pointing to an external force reminding the speaker of their identity.
And you tell me once again, tell me once again
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of needing reassurance.
Just because I feel it doesn't make it true
Acknowledging the potential disparity between feelings and truth.
My mind is always changing, that never changes you
Highlighting the constancy of personal change but the stability of the external force (possibly a higher power).
When I'm in the darkness your light will lead me through
Assurance of guidance through difficult times.
Just because I feel it doesn't make it, doesn't make it true
Reiterating the theme of emotions not necessarily reflecting reality.
I know that you loved me long before I took a breath
Acknowledging unconditional love from an external source.
Even though I feel alone I know you've never left
Despite feeling alone, the belief in the continuous presence of the external force.
Always on my side and you're calling out the lies
Affirmation of constant support and exposure of falsehoods.
God I know no matter, no matter what's coming next
Confidence in the external force regardless of what may come.
That you remind me who I am, remind me who I am
Reiteration of the external force reminding the speaker of their identity.
And you tell me once again, tell me once again
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of seeking reassurance.
Just because I feel it doesn't make it true
Highlighting the distinction between feelings and objective truth.
My mind is always changing, that never changes you
Emphasizing the constancy of personal change versus the stability of the external force.
When I'm in the darkness, your light will lead me through
Assurance of guidance through darkness.
Just because I feel it doesn't make it, doesn't make it true
Reiterating the theme of emotions not necessarily reflecting reality.
Every lie loses power
Empowering statement on the diminishing power of lies.
When I hear you whispering the truth
Importance of truth through the metaphor of a whisper.
Every fear starts to cower
Fear loses strength when confronted alongside the external force.
When I see them standing next to you
The supportive presence weakens fear.
Just because I feel it doesn't make it true
Reiterating the distinction between feelings and objective truth.
My mind is always changing, that never changes you
Stability of the external force despite internal fluctuations.
When I'm in the darkness your light will lead me through
Assurance of guidance through darkness.
Just because I feel it doesn't make it, doesn't make it true
Reiterating the theme of emotions not necessarily reflecting reality.
Doesn't make it, doesn't make it true
Final emphasis on the idea that feelings don't define truth.
