What's the truest line you've ever heard in a song? 🤔

But if it’s an interjection, then there’s no verb, ergo no indicative verb, ergo no “statement” in the sense of falsifiability.

Oh the police may be a “statement” in the broad sense, but devoid of context, it has no capacity for truth.

I got one problem, and it’s a bitch.

This is everything that is wrong with second language acquisition. I, as a native speaker, have absolutely no clue what any of your post means, but I have full comprehension of the meaning and intent behind the expression, fuck the police.

Oh the police.
:arrow_up:
Neither true nor false.

Bleep [just an interjection not a verb] the police.
:arrow_up:
Neither true nor false.

Bleep [imperative verb] the police.
:arrow_up:
Neither true nor false.

Bleep [indicative verb] the police.
:arrow_up:
The true meaning is The police bleep. It’s just putting the verb before the subject to be poetic. You know, like quoth the raven. It is a statement, hence it can be true. Hence it can be the truest line you’ve ever heard in a song.

That’s a whole other line.

I consider the whole song as a fist of reality to what everyone strugles/realizes on one way or another in life.

Well, if you want to get picky, isn’t truth an absolute?

Hence it can’t have degree.

Hence there cannot be a truest line you have ever heard in a song, unless you’ve only ever heard one true line in a song.

True dat.

And this

See here how everything lead up to this day
And it’s just like any other day that’s ever been
Sun going up and then the sun going down
Shine through my window and my friends they come around
Come around, come around

Ten percent of something, it beats one hundred percent of nothing at all.

If you keep listening, you’ll also get an interesting variation on it’s better to have loved and lost…
