SOUNDGARDEN

- Ugly Truth Lyrics

Written by chris cornell

You hide your eyes
But the ugly truth
Just loves to give it away
You gave yourself
If you were mine to give
I might throw it away
You share but money can't give
What the truth takes away
Throw it away

I painted my eyes
Ugly isn't what I want to see
I painted my mind
Ugly isn't what I want to be
I don't mind but the truth
Don't look that good on me
Throw it away

I don't think I really
Understand you
And I can't see why
I'd ever want to
And even if it isn't mine to say
I'll say it anyway
It's ugly

If you were mine to give
I might throw it away
But money can't give
What the truth takes away
Throw it away

What is the meaning behind Ugly Truth lyrics?


When we look beyond the surface of the words, the song 'Ugly Truth' by Soundgarden delves into the theme of self-perception and the struggle with facing one's own flaws and truths. The lyrics use metaphors to show how people hide their true identity behind a facade while they experience inner battles between their outer image and their actual self and they struggle to accept their imperfect authentic self. The lyrics of Ugly truth mainly focus on expressing heartbreak and deep emotional pain and despair and self-examination and intense anger. The song highlights how important self-identity and self-perception are for people while it shows how relationships build disillusionment and people need to choose between truth and materialistic possessions.
