Give Me the Truth Lyrics

Give me the truth, give me the truth
Righteous you are to follow the star
Give me the truth, give me the truth you do
Why don't we see oh the simplicity?

You might think that I'm falling down on my luck
But you were wrong `cause you know
That what you get is the undiluted real, you feel

Give it a chance, love is like Lennon said
Love is the bread we'll be happy to spread
Give me the truth, it's tuned to its proper sound
And this part I play is the music for me

You might think that I'm falling
Into the trap that tension has laid, but I say
What can I do when I know I feel this way, this way

Give me the truth, everyone criticizes
Don't take offense, but pride is a brand of lies
Give me the truth, give me the truth
Righteous you are so follow your star

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.

Burke Shelly later stated how this song, as well as another song on the album 'Truth Drug,' is about the "concern for the lack of honesty/integrity in the world."

The song itself revolves around the importance of transparency and real feelings, suggesting that only when we embrace the truth can we find true happiness and satisfaction. It also references John Lennon with the line "love is like Lennon said," which is a reference to John Lennon’s belief in love as a powerful and sustaining force, comparing it to bread, a basic necessity for life. It's a metaphor that emphasizes love's fundamental role in human experience and the idea that it should be freely shared.
