True Lyrics
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
So true
Funny how it seems
Always in time, but never in line for dreams
Head over heels when toe to toe
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
Oh, I want the truth to be said
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
I know this much is true
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
I know this much is true
With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun
Listening to Marvin (All night long)
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
Always slipping from my hands
Sand's a time of its own
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
Oh, I want the truth to be known
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
I know this much is true
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
I know this much is true
I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
Oh, I want the truth to be said
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
I know this much is true
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
I know this much is true
This much is true
(This much is a-true-oo)
(This much is a-true-oo-oo)
I know, I know, I know this much is true
(This much is a-true-oo)
(This much is a-true-oo-oo)
(This much is a-true-oo)
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
(This much is a true-oo-oo)
I know this much is true
(This much is a-true-oo)
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
(This much is a true-oo-oo)
Know this much is true
(This much is a-true-oo)
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
(This much is a-true-oo-oo)
(Know this much is true)
I know, I know, I know this much is true
Meaning of True
“True” by Spandau Ballet is a poignant exploration of disillusionment and the struggle to articulate genuine emotion. The repeated refrain, “I know this much is true,” underscores a feeling of undeniable truth – perhaps a painful realization about love or life – that simultaneously paralyzes the speaker. He’s trapped in a cycle of wanting to express himself, represented by the attempt to "write the next line," yet consistently failing, symbolized by the slipping sand and the inability to capture the essence of his experience. The references to Marvin Gaye (“All night long”) and the “pill” suggest an attempted escape from anxiety or emotional turmoil. Ultimately, the song conveys a sense of profound sadness and isolation, acknowledging a fundamental truth while desperately yearning for connection and the ability to translate that truth into something meaningful – a testament to the difficulty of truly expressing one's soul.
