Is It me? Is It True? Lyrics

Is it me? Is it true?
Every word I honor a lie
Gives life this conversation, it dies
The hope that's in your eyes
Is it worthless?
Yes, so are you...'ve been dreaming
I've been screaming
I wake up with nothing but false salvation, lost translations
I leave you with nothing at all

Is it me? Is it true?
Every word I honor a lie
Gives life this conversation, it dies
The hope that's in your eyes
Is it worthless?
Yes so are you...'ve been dreaming
I've been screaming
I wake up with nothing but false salvation, lost translations
I leave you with nothing at all

Sex is old
Old and boring
When you're feeling nothing
Something's gotta make you feel

Yeah, sex is old
Old and boring
When you're feeling nothing
Something's gotta make you feel

We'll listen to you
But your words don't make a sound
And if nothing is true
We can build our own worlds

Is it me? Is it true?
Every word I honor a lie
Is it me? Is it true?
Every word I honor a lie
(You've been dreaming)
Is it me? Is it true?
(I've been screaming)
Every word I honor a lie
(You've been dreaming)
Is it me? Is it true?
(I've been screaming)
Every word is a lie
Is it me?! Is it true?!
Every word I honor a lie
Is it me?! Is it true?!
Every word I honor a lie
Is it me?! Is it true?!
Every word... is worthless
Yeah, so are you

No Place Feels Like Home

Like A Movie

Just Rock'N'Roll

So Long As We Keep Our Bodies Numb We're Safe

Is it me? Is it true?
Every word I honor a lie
Gives life this conversation, it dies
The hope that's in your eyes
Is it worthless?
Yes, so are you...'ve been dreaming 
I've been screaming
I wake up with nothing but false salvation, lost translations
I leave you with nothing at all

Is it me? Is it true?
Every word I honor a lie
Gives life this conversation, it dies
The hope that's in your eyes
Is it worthless?
Yes so are you...'ve been dreaming 
I've been screaming
I wake up with nothing but false salvation, lost translations
I leave you with nothing at all

Sex is old 
Old and boring
When you're feeling nothing
Something's gotta make you feel

Yeah, sex is old 
Old and boring
When you're feeling nothing
Something's gotta make you feel

We'll listen to you 
But your words don't make a sound
And if nothing is true
We can build our own worlds

Is it me? Is it true?
Every word I honor a lie
Is it me? Is it true?
Every word I honor a lie
(You've been dreaming)
Is it me? Is it true?
(I've been screaming)
Every word I honor a lie
(You've been dreaming)
Is it me? Is it true?
(I've been screaming)
Every word is a lie
Is it me?! Is it true?!
Every word I honor a lie
Is it me?! Is it true?!
Every word I honor a lie
Is it me?!  Is it true?!
Every word... is worthless
Yeah, so are you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

no it fits in perfectly...it says that when you are feeling nothing...physically or emotionally...there just isn't a point...and it gets old...

i like the song because it makes youthink about how you need to know yourself...is it me?... and you need to realize who you are before you can really start being with other people...

I always related "Is it me? Is it true?", the actual words, to how people say, "Is it me, or is it you?" but there is no mention of "you". So I agree with True on this one, it's about figuring out what's up inside you before you can even start to form a relationship with anyone else.
