It's Not True Rufus, Don't Listen To The Hat Lyrics
Have some faith
don’t you know that this is not a race
and we are not contenders now.
So ask questions like
which truth is the truth with which I chose to define myself
and bare all my insecurities?
These cobbled streets and stone walls can’t contain us.
This knot in my stomach
is the result of all I envy
and the route to my redemption.
It reminds me that I am a mess of bone and tissue
and a slave to my own ambitions.
We can only be ignored for so long
So lets get back on that horse, take the road less travelled and get away from this town of claustraphobic creativity. Let’s start afresh, leave the embers of this burnt out city to settle on the stunted seeds in which it has poured its misplaced trust.
Lets see from a different perspective the sun, the sky, the moon, the stars, the sea, sand, trees, clouds, train lines, road signs, motorways and slip roads, postcards, dreamy days, winters end and spring beginnings, window seats, cats eyes caught in corner glances,late night adventures, firesides and the dirt grey contrast of the high rise with lights calling us home; an orange glow snaking its path across green fields, towns and cities. Drawing lines across maps to open up new sights, sounds, and the infinite possibility of the horizon.
don’t you know that this is not a race
and we are not contenders now.
So ask questions like
which truth is the truth with which I chose to define myself
and bare all my insecurities?
is the result of all I envy
and the route to my redemption.
It reminds me that I am a mess of bone and tissue
and a slave to my own ambitions.

This song, to me, is about someone named Rufus who goes to Hogwartz and the Sorting Hat tells him things he doesn't want to hear. Like maybe that he is a dork, or a jerk, or something. He gets sorted into a house he doesn't like and now his friend is trying to console him by saying "It's not true, Rufus, don't listen to the [sorting] hat!"
seriously? that is the best thing i have heard.

this town needs guns: a post pop, math rock indie group form oxford, hellbent on spreading the word of Harry Potter.

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE

I think that is actually a brilliant allegory to the meaning of this song. It's creative to be that narrative. If this song enforces a meaning of breaking through society's expectations and find the core of being human, why should anyone deter that motive? Don't let your ego control you, that narration is simple beauty. By the way, you all have amazing taste in music. Have you heard Lateralus by Tool?
