The band’s name Oracles Always Lie, comes from the libretto of Igor Stravinsky’s opera “Oedipus Rex”. The libretto was written by Jean Cocteau in French. In the opera, act II; Jocasta (mother of Oedipus) was trying to calm and convince Oedipus that oracles always lied and one should not believe in their predictions. The reason why she said that, it was an oracle who had predicted that Laius (Jocasta’s husband) would die at his son's hand. In fact he was murdered by bandits at the crossing of three roads, however this frightened Oedipus further, he recalled killing an old man at the crossroads before coming to Thebes. If you wonder the rest of the story you can find the text from somewhere and learn what the messenger stated about the touching truth...
