SCREAMING TREES

A driving, distorted Rock track about exposing lies and taking back control.

"The Truth Hurts" is a high-energy Rock anthem driven by a relentless rhythm section and heavily distorted guitars. With a powerful, urgent vocal performance and a tight, punchy low end, this song builds from a tense verse into an explosive chorus. It’s a spacious yet direct rock track about the moment the facade crumbles.

This track is a confrontation. It’s about realizing it was all a ruse, the clues, the control, and the "news" spun into gold. "The Truth Hurts" channels the anger of being manipulated and the catharsis of finally finding out the truth. It explores the breakdown of trust and the refusal to stay on your knees any longer.

[Verse]

Was it all a ruse
Just to keep me on my knees
You left me all these clues
Was it only make-believe

[Pre-Chorus]

Did you really think I wouldn't find out

[Chorus]

The truth hurts
Now I'm pullin' back the curtain
I've unearthed
Everything that you were certain I would never learn
But the truth hurts

[Verse 2]

It was in the news
How you spun it into gold
Who do you abuse
Tell me who else you control

[Pre-Chorus]

Did you really think I wouldn't find out

[Chorus]

The truth hurts
Now I'm pullin' back the curtain
I've unearthed
Everything that you were certain I would never learn
But the truth hurts
