Eivør stated, while answering questions on her instagram stories, that ‘Truth’ is about “looking for answers in unknown places and embracing the unexpected things that make life bigger and more colorful”.
In the song the ‘answers’ take the form of an unknown person, the ‘stranger’, with whom Eivør...
[Verse 1]
You're a stranger in the streets
And I see you everyday
But we don't stop when we meet
I don't know your name
[Pre-Chorus]
You're the book I want to read
You're the song that makes me cry
And the quiet conversation
That changed my mind
[Chorus]
I turn to you
Just to see the truth, just to see the truth
We are strangers in this world together
Looking for an answer, you're my only shelter
(Love is all that matters, love is all that matters)
[Pre-Chorus]
You're the unsolved mystery
You're the gap between two stars
And thе loneliness that moves in mе
My companion
[Bridge]
In the dark
We are strangers in the dark
[Chorus]
I turn to you
Just to see the truth, just to see the truth
We are strangers in this world together
Just looking for an answer, you're my only shelter
(Love is all that matters, love is all that matters)
