Truth Tastes Bitter
A relaxed downtempo electronic groove anchors the track with softly layered Rhodes piano, subtle synth pads, and organic hand percussion. Warm, soulful female vocals float atop the intricate layers, while gentle acoustic guitar and bass add texture. Airy instrumental breaks and understated strings provide lift as the arrangement swells and contracts, maintaining a dreamy, immersive feel throughout.

Lyrics
Verse 1
The truth tastes bitter when you swallow
You're followin' in the footsteps of your family
Your vanity's bigger than an ocean
You'll never stop thinkin' of yourself
You'll always be there to be someone else
For you
Chorus
And it's in your nature to play the victim
I always knew that you were different
You need some time alone
Away from all the things you own
And it's in your nature to play the victim
I always knew that you were different
You need some time alone
Away from all the things you own
Verse 3
Truth tastes bitter when you swallow
You're followin' in the footsteps of your family
Your vanity's bigger than an ocean
You'll never stop thinkin' of yourself
You'll always be there to be someone else
For you
Chorus
And it's in your nature to play the victim
I always knew that you were different
You need some time alone
Away from all the things you own
And it's in your nature to play the victim
I always knew that you were different
You need some time alone
Away from all the things you own
