Indeed. This goes back to the whole flimsy definition of art however. It can truly be anything and everything the observer/listener wishes it to be.
The old "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
Also I just wanna say that "truth" has been so distorted lately. This new information age we live in has given every person on the planet a platform where they can make their own truths. Can we honestly say there is objective truth anymore? A topic for another time.
But yeah, of course, art can be about finding truth if intended. In my opinion and experience however, I have found that more often than not, art is about interpretation rather than author intent. Which in itself is a beautiful thing.
