The Narrative They Want You to Follow

Описание: In a world saturated with certainty, noise, and borrowed convictions, “Truth Over Illusion” confronts the quiet courage it takes to question what we’ve been handed and pursue what endures.

This piece is not an argument—it’s an excavation. A dismantling of polished answers that fracture under pressure. A refusal to accept belief that survives only when curiosity is silenced. What remains is not comfort, but clarity. Not control, but conscience.

This song is for those who have stood beneath banners of confidence and still felt unseen. For those who have chosen integrity over optics, substance over performance, and truth—even when it costs.

Listen closely.
There are no filters here.
Only what remains when illusion burns away.

Lyrics — Truth Over Illusion (English)

Truth Over Illusion [English]

I’ve heard a thousand voices
All claiming they’re the truth
Every banner waving answers
Every hand pulling me through
But the more they shout conviction
The less I recognize my face
I’m tired of borrowed certainties
That crumble under weight

If truth is real, it won’t be frightened
By the questions in my soul

I’m tired of the lies, the carefully framed disguise
The shine that fades when I look close inside
If this is faith, why does it feel like fear?
I don’t want belief that disappears
I want what’s real, not photoshopped light
Not a script I’m forced to recite
When everything falls and the curtain drops
I choose the truth that costs

They taught me how to echo
But never how to know
They fed me polished stories
Left the cracks out of the road
I’ve watched devotion weaponized
And love reduced to law
If God is truth, then truth won’t need
A lie to prove Him strong

I won’t trade my hunger
For a safe illusion anymore

I’m tired of the lies, the carefully framed disguise
The shine that fades when I look close inside
If this is faith, why does it feel like fear?
I don’t want belief that disappears
I want what’s real, not photoshopped light
Not a script I’m forced to recite
When everything falls and the curtain drops
I choose the truth that costs

If You are real, then meet me here
Not in the noise, not in the fear
Strip me down, let what’s false burn away
I don’t need comfort—I need You to stay
If all I lose is what deceived
Then I’m freer than I’ve ever been

I’m done with the lies, the borrowed alibis
The faith that survives only if I’m blind
I’ll walk the dark if it leads to dawn
I’ll stand alone if that’s what’s honest
I want what’s real, even if it breaks
Even if it reshapes my name
When everything falls and the truth is crossed
I choose the truth—no matter the cost

No filters.
No fear.
Just what remains
When truth is near.
