The song "The Only Truth" by Heaven Shall Burn tells the story of a generation that has been raised in darkness and controlled by a polluted system. They are fed with manipulated truths that blind their perspective and their paths in life are predetermined, leading to sorrow and unfulfilled needs. The lyrics speak of a common path to happiness that involves selling oneself, but the protagonist refuses to conform to this notion. The song highlights the silence of poets and the rise of clowns who burn books, representing a society that rejects intellectualism and critical thinking. The thieves run rampant, causing the loss of human dignity. The noise of unimportant and stupid matters drowns out the whispers of skeptics who try to speak out. Amidst this chaos, the protagonist remains resolute that their voice will not be silenced by the storm around them. They vow to sow the seeds of reason and refuse to be a minor or a happy slave to the system. The lyrics also touch upon the protagonist's resilience in the face of adversity. They are willing to endure pain and discomfort, knowing that no inner conflict will touch them. The only truth they hold onto is within their heart, and they ask for support in helping them explain this truth. Overall, "The Only Truth" reflects a rebellion against a corrupt system, a refusal to conform, and a determination to hold onto personal truths and values despite societal pressures.
