The truth is referring to Gene’s sense of inferiority to his clearly superior friend, Phineas. Phineas gets away with everything. He disgraces his school tie by wearing it as a belt, he jumps off the tree, and he even wears a pink shirt in public. It is not only his athletic ability, but also his tendency to get out of trouble and to have a general cool way of talking. The truth is that Gene hates Phineas inside but needs to stay with him to keep up his own popularity. He is living a lie to just to keep his public appearance up. He has no idea what it is like to be a leader and to rule his own life with his own decisions. As long as the truth stays unexposed he will never experience a real friendship, or a real life.
