The Truth Ain't What It Used to Be
Unveiling Reality's Transformation
Lyrics
The truth ain't what it used to be
The concept of truth has changed over time.
I took a look in the mirror
Self-reflection; examining oneself in a mirror.
I left my brains in the hall
Metaphorical expression of feeling disoriented or confused.
I got a little disappointment
Experiencing a letdown or setback.
But it, it makes no difference at all
Disappointments don't matter in the grand scheme of things.
Don't take my word for it stoopid
Advice not to trust blindly; questioning the speaker's credibility.
I don't go looking for facts
Avoiding seeking information; skepticism about facts.
Yeah coz experts are like monkeys
Comparing experts to monkeys; a critique of authority figures.
Who like to strap themselves to our backs
Experts burdening individuals with their opinions.
That's a fact!
Assertion that the previous statement is true.
And now the truth ain't what it used to be
Reiteration of the changing nature of truth.
I say the truth ain't what it used be
Continued emphasis on the evolving nature of truth.
You get a little more enlightened but still can't see
Gaining knowledge but still lacking understanding.
Yeah the truth ain't what it used to be
Reaffirmation of the shifting nature of truth.
The truth ain't what it used to be
Repetition of the idea that truth has changed.
I got a seat at the freak-show
Observing absurdity or chaos, possibly in society.
I sat myself in the stalls
Participating in a spectacle or bizarre situation.
Was mesmerising watching those morons
Watching unintelligent people talk nonsensically.
Talk themselves up the walls
People creating confusion or trouble for themselves.
Duty calls
Duty or responsibility beckoning.
And now the truth ain't what it used to be
Reiteration of the changing nature of truth.
I say the truth ain't what it used be
Continued emphasis on the evolving nature of truth.
They get a little more enlightened but still can't see
Gaining knowledge but still lacking understanding.
Yeah the truth ain't what it used to be
Reaffirmation of the shifting nature of truth.
The truth ain't what it used to be
Repetition of the idea that truth has changed.
Yeah when it don't mean nothing, double negative you're way to the top
Success achieved without meaningful purpose; reaching the top with double negatives.
Oh and you're biding your time waiting for that silky penny to drop
Waiting for a moment of realization or clarity.
Coz it don't take a lot
Minimal effort required for success.
I know you know, the simple truth
Acknowledgment that the speaker understands a simple truth.
Ain't what it used to be
Reiteration of the changing nature of truth.
I used to know bout my onions,
Previous knowledge about a subject or situation.
My story slowly revealed
A personal story unfolding slowly.
But now I'm not so sure if it's an onion or an apple I've peeled
Uncertainty about the nature of the revealed truth.
And now the truth ain't what it used to be
Reiteration of the changing nature of truth.
No no
Emphatic denial of the stability of truth.
the truth ain't what it used be
Continued emphasis on the evolving nature of truth.
We get a little more enlightened but still can't see
Gaining knowledge but still lacking understanding.
Yeah the truth ain't what it used to be
Reaffirmation of the shifting nature of truth.
The truth ain't what it used to be
Repetition of the idea that truth has changed.
Yeah when it don't mean nothing, double negative you're way to the top
Success achieved without meaningful purpose; reaching the top with double negatives.
Oh and your biding your time waiting patient for the spinning to stop
Waiting patiently for a period of confusion or chaos to end.
Yeah and you know that it don't take a lot
Success achieved with minimal effort.
To find the truth
Discovering the truth is not a complex task.
The truth
Final statement emphasizing the theme of truth's transformation.
