Cover art for Instinct lyrics by Crowded House

'Where the true present lies' is this line meant as - 'where the true... present lies' like the once-thought truthful people/things present a lie/s. Similar to that of a facade. or is it - 'where the true present... lies' like the 'true present' being (reality) is seen at that moment, under all the dreams. or perhaps a true present, such as happiness, lies there in front of them? but i really like this song, and i hope to hear more crowdie albums :)
