"The Truth"[1] is the song that plays as a young Cinder Fall cleans the Glass Unicorn in "Midnight" and serves as her image song.

Lyrics[]

Clean the linens, sweep the floors
Shut your mouth and do your chores
Scrub the dishes in the sink
No one said that you should think
Shine the silver, wash the clothes
And when you're finished, darn the socks, draw my bath
Fetch my slippers, fill my glass
And rub my feet; Hurry up, you're so slow
You're no good I hope you know
That your life is of no use
And the truth is that
No one's ever loved you[2]

Trivia[]

  • The song itself is an allusion to Cinder being based off of Cinderella with the lyrics describing and alluding to Cinderella's abusive servant chores/relationship with her step-sisters and step-mother.
  • The line "No one said that you should think" likely refers to two lines from the show:
    • In "Fault", when Salem belittles Cinder, rhetorically asking The Hound, "Do you hear that, my pet? She thinks. She wants. As if she’s done something that warrants me caring about either of those things."
    • It may also refer to when Cinder tells Emerald Sustrai "Don't think, obey," in "Best Day Ever".
  • At only 52 seconds long, this is the shortest vocal song in the series.
  • This song is in the key of A minor.
