Offspring, The - Half-Truism Lyrics






One is for envy
And one just for spite
The cuts in my heart
They show in your eyes
Don’t make it better
The twisting knife
Turns all by itself
On to someone else

Your self-liberation
Will leave this behind
Beyond slings and arrows
That rain on our minds
You’ll make it better
Shake it off
It never mattered anyway

If we don’t make it alive
Well it’s a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

And it’s ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

The banner you’re waving
Is burning and red
It’s blocking the sunlight
That shines overhead
You against the world
Diamonds and pearls
Voices inside you churn
Watch the city burn

Your own liberation
Will leave them behind
All the slings and arrows
That rain on your mind
Don’t make it better
Break it cause
It never mattered anyway

If we don’t make it alive
Well it’s a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

And it’s ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

I
Won't
Calm
Down

The banner you're waving
Is burning and red
You against the world
Diamonds and pearls
It never mattered
Mattered
Mattered anyway

If we don’t make it alive
Well it’s a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

And it’s ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

    The cuts in my heart, they show me your eyes
    Don't make it better by twisting knife
    Turns all by itself, on to someone else

    Beyond slings and arrows that rain on our minds
    You'll make it better shaking it off
    It never mattered anyway

    Voices inside you churn, watch the city burn
    Your own liberation will leave them behind
    All the slings and arrows that rain on your mind
    Don't make it better break it 'cause
    It never mattered anyway
    If we don't make it alive, it's a hell of a good day to die
    All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long
    And it's ashes to ashes again, should we even try to pretend?
    All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long
    I won't calm down

  50. G.... ....

    Offspring is LIFE

  51. F.... ....

    hax money baby

  52. T.... R....

    One of the better songs from an overall mediocre album in my opinion

  53. Y.... ....

    hax$ the b0xx will prevail

  54. J.... K....

    It’s a pretty solid song through and through. Their best? No. But a very solid jam. To all the my chemical gaymance nuthuggers: what’s the last thing they’ve done since “welcome to the black parade?”... I’ll wait... go ahead. Oh wait, Dex and the boys have been doing this since before 92. Id like to hear any of you guys make ANY music. Let alone, music in your 40s while doing cancer research with your PhD. Say goodbye and goodnight ;)

  55. C.... K....

    God...this is one of my favorite albums

  56. D.... P....

    Who listing to it in 2017/2018

  57. O.... F....

    good music 😀😀😀😀

  58. K.... T....

    Good song shit sound quality from publisher

  59. R.... ....

    man good damn times, i was 8, almost 18 now

    R.... ....

    Raz same here dragon ;)

  60. B.... b....

    My mom is REALLY offspring and we just got tickets to their upcoming concert, so when I first heard three cheers by mcr it instantly became my favorite album ever! Also on the second song it rips of lush and jawbreaker and I fucking love it. Who cares who writes what and who sounds like who all that matters is how it makes you feel. Just don't be a dick about it. #1 rule. dont be a dick. Thank you and keep rocking the fuck out!

  61. D.... H....

    this sounds a lot like that song "Half Truism" by The Offspring

    oh wait. ..

  62. M.... I....

    This song is so calming and optimistic, in some ways, but also slow and depressing at the same time. It's addictive, my favorite song from their band, but could it have a deeper message?

    Listening to this song, I feel joy and hope in the world and people around me. Not a sense of security, per se, but a sense to do right for others, not wrong, at the same time, it makes me feel cautious.

    Man, this is such an amazing song.

  63. H.... S....

    I can not wait for my cousin's B day.=)

  64. a.... g....

    Lmao ravin was going easy on robin not even using half of her powers if this was for real raven would probably destroy the whole teen titans

  65. C.... S....

    It's about divorce not so cool two people that can't get along

  66. C.... ....

    the comments on this song first showed me mcr, and i have 7 bands that i consider my absolute favourite, offspring being the first i discovered, and mcr being the second

  67. N.... ....

    can we talk about the dope as fuck album cover?

  68. M.... L....

    listen on 1.25x speed

  69. L.... S....

    This sound like a Rise Against song from Appeal to Reason or a later album?

  70. c.... a....

    I know I just commented but I want a shirt like that!!!!!!!

  71. c.... a....

    I got this from robin vs. teentitans

  72. E.... B....

    wooow this is cool..most people in the comment on this video came here beacause of teen titan amv...so did i

  73. A.... M....

    "One is for envy and one just for spite
    The cuts in my heart They show me your eyes" So cold but so beautiful all at once

  74. E.... ....

    It would be greaat if you copy the lyrics in the description

  75. F.... T....

    The Beat Drop So Hard Donald Trump Lost his Royal Rumble Wrestling.

  76. S.... ....

    I really don't think it sounds much like Helena, other than them both having punk arrangements, fast verses, and half-beat choruses. If you want to hear plagiarism, look up "I need a new drug" and the Ghostbusters theme.

    Basically, your opinions are dumb and you should feel dumb.

  77. H.... D....

    I see a lot of people commenting about a Teen Titans AMV, is it just me who came here from "My akatsuki AMV"?

  78. l.... m....

    AMV"s are sooooo coooooool

  79. l.... m....

    this song was by in shadowflite in teen titans vs robin

  80. D.... L....

    I'm from Russia, and I can't understand some words and frases, so at all I can say that this music is better than what listen my schoolmates, much better. I love The Offspring, their songs are beautiful and crazy, what makes them very ingenious.

  81. J.... H....

    Sounds like Rise Against

  82. A.... ....

    Amazing song!!! :')

  83. V.... _....

    my favourite part is "it's ashes to ashes again should we even try to pretend!? all our light that shines strong only for so long......!"

  84. P.... ....

    ths songs so underrated

  85. T.... ....

    this song is so top tier

  86. G.... H....

    Hail King Satan!

  87. h.... n....

    a fond tou lé j o u r !

  88. l.... 8....

    Let's make a train guys!

    One is for envy and one just for spite

    l.... 8....

    Beyond slings and arrows
    That rain on our minds

    l.... 8....

    don't make it better~

    l.... 8....

    shaking it off
    It never mattered anyway

    l.... 8....

    if we dont make it alive its a hell of a good day to die

    l.... 8....

    The cuts in my heart that show in your eyes~
