True north (geodetic north) is the direction along the earth's surface towards the geographic North Pole.
True geodetic north differs from magnetic north (the direction a compass points toward the magnetic north pole), and from grid north (the direction northwards along the grid lines of a map projection). Geodetic true north also differs very slightly from astronomical true north (typically by a few arcseconds) because the local gravity may not point at the exact rotational axis of the earth.
The direction of astronomical true north is marked in the skies by the north celestial pole. This is within about 1 degree of the position of Polaris, so that the star appears to trace a tiny circle in the sky each day. Due to the axial precession of the Earth, true north rotates in an arc with respect to the stars that takes approximately 25,000 years to complete. Around the year 2100 to 2102, Polaris will make its closest approach to the celestial north pole (extrapolated from recent Earth precession). Five thousand years ago, the closest visible star to the celestial north pole was Thuban.
True north refers to the direction of the North Pole relative to the navigator's position.

True is the debut extended play (EP) by American recording artist Solange Knowles, first released on November 27, 2012 digitally through Terrible Records. Following the release of her second studio album Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams (2008), Knowles announced that she had parted ways with Interscope Geffen A&M after releasing just one album on the label, and further revealed that she had chosen to go an independent route, eventually signing with Terrible Records. In 2009 Knowles began the recording of a studio album, during which she suffered a "breakdown" due to the amount of time and emotion she was putting into the recording process
A neo soul album, True contains an eclectic sound that takes influence from PBR&B, new wave music, dance, 1980s pop, and electronica, whilst the extended play's production is characterized as containing '80s references, keyboards and African percussion. The recording process took three years and was handled by Knowles and producer Dev Hynes. Together the pair produced, wrote and composed all of the songs, a decision Knowles made due to their chemistry, friendship and work relationship.

So dont mind going on
Feels like im doing laps around everyone
Healing factor turning on
Take your pills lets get it off another day
When its time to go outside
Please leave your shades at home
You look like such a dick sometimes
Yeah, look whos talking, I know
We all want to go out and play
know that it's not know that it is nothing
We all want to go out and play
It's not that bizarre
And know that its nothing
Daylight embracing darkness always feels like they're racing death to the porch
Crust of the earth is flaking off changing the time zones confusing the true north
Here is a the note that I wont avoid
Hear when I say this now
When static is all that's left on the phone
Feel free to change the channel
Starlight is blazing and its the only source of illumination of course
Weight of the humans taken off shedding the ozone Finding a new home
This is the Number please look it over Everything else is just a distracter
Shrugging extinction off.
