Confusion
ADAM STRANGLER Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You came to me as one
Knee deep in love
Show me what’s inside.
Show me what’s inside
So I can see what’s mine
Knee deep in love
See the sky, open up your eyes.
Tell me what is right
Your hands behind your back
Knee deep in love
Tell me what you like.
See the sky, open up your eyes.
In "Confusion," ADAM STRANGLER sings about being in love and wanting to understand the true feelings of his partner. The opening line, "Hearts on the line," implies that both parties are emotionally invested in the relationship and are vulnerable to potential hurt. The following line, "You came to me as one," suggests that the singer's partner presented themselves as a cohesive and unified individual, but the subsequent lines question whether this is truly the case.
The chorus, "Show me what's inside," is a plea for transparency and honesty. The singer wants to see their partner's true feelings and intentions so that they can understand where they stand in the relationship. The repetition of "Knee deep in love" reinforces the depth of emotion and investment that the singer feels towards their partner.
The lines "See the sky, open up your eyes / Tell me what is right" could represent a larger metaphor for the relationship as a whole. Just as the sky opens up to reveal its true nature, the singer wants their partner to open up and reveal their true intentions. The final line, "Tell me what you like," could represent the need for open communication and dialogue in order for the relationship to succeed.
