Stay True
Unveiling the Veil: Navigating Authenticity in a World of Deceit
Lyrics
Where’d you go off to last night
Questioning the whereabouts of someone the night before.
After you told me you were staying in for the night
Expressing surprise after being told the person would stay in for the night.
Your word is that of glass in window panes
Comparing the person's word to fragile glass in window panes.
‘Cause I see right through its face
Claiming the ability to see through the person's deceptive facade.
You don’t have to say another word to me
Stating that further explanation is unnecessary because of perceptiveness.
‘Cause I know it resides in the land of make-believe
Believing that the person lives in a world of imagination or deception.
Always running around - I could never track you down
Describing the person as always being elusive and hard to find.
Maybe someday you will come around
Expressing hope that the person will eventually change their ways.
Father told me to stay true
Recalling advice from the speaker's father to remain truthful.
To my word - so that’s what I’ll do
Committing to staying true to one's word based on parental guidance.
It is hard to be real these days
Reflecting on the difficulty of being genuine in a world filled with falsehoods.
In a world where everything is fake
Commenting on the prevalence of fakeness in the contemporary world.
See our own president perpetuate
Criticizing political leaders for perpetuating falsehoods.
All these lies - it shows no one is safe
Observing that lies are widespread and pose a threat to everyone.
I suggest that you keep a watchful eye
Advising vigilance and awareness due to the unsafe nature of the environment.
‘Cause it ain’t safe, it ain’t safe for you and I
Highlighting the lack of safety for both the speaker and the person addressed.
Everyone likes to see a pretty face
Acknowledging the societal preference for outward beauty.
But behind that smile lies the truth locked away
Warning that behind a pleasant facade, the truth may be hidden.
Authenticity will keep your feet firmly on the ground
Advocating for authenticity as a grounding force.
I just hope someday you come around
Expressing hope that the person will eventually embrace authenticity.
Father told me to stay true
Reiterating the father's advice to stay true to one's word.
To my word - so that’s what I’ll do
Committing once again to honesty and integrity.
It is hard to be real these days
Reiterating the challenge of being genuine in a fake world.
In a world where everything is fake
Commenting on the prevalence of artificiality in the contemporary world.
Father told me to stay true
Recalling the father's advice to stay true to one's word.
To my word - so that’s what I’ll do
Reaffirming the commitment to truthfulness.
It is hard to be real these days
Reflecting once more on the challenge of authenticity in the current era.
In a world where everything is fake
Reiterating the prevalence of falsehoods in a world filled with deception.
