Be True to Yourself
Embrace Truth and Freedom: Unveiling the Essence of 'Be True to Yourself'
Lyrics
You gotta show me gotta make see
You must demonstrate and make me see
You gotta give me one good reason
You need to provide a compelling reason
And just because they don't agree
Even if others disagree
It doesn't make them guilty of treason
Disagreement doesn't equate to treason
You say we've got to fight fire with fire
Suggests the need to confront challenges with equal force
We can never let them win
Emphasizes the importance of not letting adversaries win
We got to build ourselves a funeral pyre
Advocates for taking a stand, even if it means facing hardships
It's just the world that we're living in
Reflection on the harsh reality of the world
You know everything changes
Change is inevitable
There can be no turning back
Once a change occurs, there's no going back
We're pointing guns in the faces of strangers
Describes a tense situation involving potential violence
I hear the shout attack attack attack
Expresses urgency and a call to attack
It's a fine, fine deviding line
Highlights a subtle but crucial distinction
Between the truth and the lies sometimes
The challenge of distinguishing truth from lies
I don't know what you hope to find
An uncertainty about what one hopes to discover
I only know you got to be true to yourself
Stresses the importance of staying true to oneself
And no you're out there on the fields of glory
Engaging in a metaphorical battle for freedom
Fighting for my freedom
Fighting for personal freedom on the metaphorical "fields of glory"
I know it sounds like the same old story
Recognizes the familiarity of the struggle for freedom
But you've got to stand up for what you believe in
Encourages standing up for one's beliefs
You know everything changes
Reiterates the inevitability of change
There can be no turning back
The impossibility of reversing changes
We're pointing guns in the faces of strangers
Describes a tense situation involving potential violence (similar to lines 13-14)
I hear the shout attack attack attack
Repeats the urgent call to attack
It's a fine, fine deviding line
Reiterates the challenge of distinguishing truth from lies
Between the truth and the lies sometimes
Emphasizes the difficulty of discerning between truth and lies
I don't know what you hope to find
Uncertainty about the desired outcome of the search
I only know you got to be true to yourself
Reaffirms the importance of being true to oneself
Sometimes it's hard what's right and what's wrong
Reflects on the challenges of determining right from wrong
Sometimes I feel like I don't even belong
Expresses a sense of not fitting in or belonging
