It depends what you mean by 'swallowed'. It could mean that he received the truth, i.e. he educated himself, so that he didn't lie anymore.Noonie wrote:If he swallowed THE TRUTH then he WOULD be lying tho, no?harmless wrote:Um, yeah it does.Noonie wrote:"I swallowed my words to keep from lying" (which is a pretty powerful line. he's saying he had to completely shut up because anything he'd say would be a lie) turned to "I swallowed the truth to keep from lying" (which just... doesn't mean shit, Ed)

Or the truth isn't often as sound as it it supposed to be. What you think is the truth is a lie. What others hear as a lie could be the truth.harmless wrote:It depends what you mean by 'swallowed'.

Even if that's what he means, it still significantly downgrades the lyric for meharmless wrote:It depends what you mean by 'swallowed'.

It's like how it always kinda bugged me that he always changes it to "we'll end up alone like we began", which is nice and inclusive and all, but just no where near as powerful as "I'll end up alone like I began".
