Only The Truth
“Only The Truth” is a song detailing a woman who
could be best described as a maneater. The speaker
warns against making eye contact with her because
she will begin to take over without a second
thought. The girl is very calculated about
everything she decides to do, and she grows more
seductive with every move that she makes. Like a
black widow, she stalks out her prey, slowly drawing
them into her unforgiving web that will prove to be
their demise. She uses the way she dresses to stop
everyone in their tracks and to lure men with
temptation and attraction. The girl has used every
trick in the book, and her numerous strategies make
it difficult to pinpoint what exactly might be in
store for the future. Even when she is in a
committed relationship she places her own interests
and feelings above anyone else’s emotions or
concerns.
With its numerous instruments and orchestral
background, “Only The Truth” gives off a slightly
Egyptian feel. Combined with the Western clip-clop
sounds that can be heard both during and between
verses, the noises within the song do well to
intertwine with the caustic descriptions of the girl
to express the sense of foreboding experienced by
her male victims. The song ends with the orchestra
playing a fast-paced melody that turns into a sound
similar to the buzzing of a bee. A group of male
screams can be heard at the very end, as if the
woman’s prey has finally gotten caught within her
web of seduction.
