Trust Yourself Lyrics
Trust yourself to do the things that only you know best.
Trust yourself,
Trust yourself to do what's right and not be second-guessed.
Don't trust me to show you beauty
When beauty may only turn to rust.
If you need somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Trust yourself,
Trust yourself to know the way that will prove true in the end.
Trust yourself,
Trust yourself to find the path where there is no if and when.
Don't trust me to show you the truth
When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Well, you're on your own, you always were,
In a land of wolves and thieves.
Don't put your hope in ungodly man
Or be a slave to what somebody else believes.
Trust yourself
And you won't be disappointed when vain people let you down.
Trust yourself
And look not for answers where no answers can be found.
Don't trust me to show you love
When my love may be only lust.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself
The album “Empire Burlesque” and the song “Trust Yourself” are among my favorites. “Trust Yourself” is complementary to “Political World” (Album: Infidels): If you “Trust Yourself” you can make “courage” from “a thing of the past” to a factor of the presence.
Unfortunately people are extremely easy on their common sense. They avoid using it whenever the result might be inconvenient. As a consequence the common sense loses its fitness. When you become aware that “you're on your own … in a land of wolves and thieves” you will find out that training your common sense is essential for not being betrayed by any kind of leaders. Dylan recommends caution even towards himself: “Don't trust me to show you the truth”.
My most important allies are my common sense and the Holy Spirit. In 1 Thessalonians 5:21 we read: “Test all things; hold fast what is good.”
Straightforward common sense. Maybe the centerpiece of all his work.

80s Dylan has been more Rock-y and musically more synth-heavy with straightforward lyrics. Trust yourself is one of the gems and inspirational songs from Dylan. This song stands out from his usual songs where he usually sings about protests, injustice, tragedies and satire.
