The Relient K song "In Like A Lion (Always Winter)" (also found on ''The Apathetic EP]'') is based on the book '' The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe''. It was originally written in case the band was asked to do a song for the same movie's "Music Inspired By" album. "The Truth" was written for the same reason, but the words were changed for the song once the band realized that neither song would make it onto the album. Both songs were then placed onto the EP. Matt Thiessen said that "The Truth" was originally about how everyone wouldn't believe the character of Lucy, although she'd never lied to them before, but he then changed it to fit a relationship with God. 2005 singles Relient K songs Songs written by Matt Thiessen 2005 songs Capitol Records singles {{Christian-song-stub
