Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Chris McClenney's song Confession speak of a confession to God, with the first few lines asking for guidance and direction - "awurade bɛgye steer no na mmabo o menhu a dze o". The repetition of "awurade" emphasizes the longing for God's help in navigating through life. The lyrics then take a different turn, focusing on a Friday night club scene where boys and girls come together to party - "friday nyt club no akye boys na girls no wɔ te ase". Despite being in this environment, the confession is still present with the singer stating "ɛhyɛ waniwa mu nso wongye na aka m".


The song seems to explore the idea of balancing two worlds - the spiritual world and the secular world. The inclusion of the club scene alongside the spiritual longing for guidance creates a dichotomy that may resonate with listeners who feel like they are struggling to balance their personal desires with their faith. The song's title, "Confession", implies a sense of guilt and a need for forgiveness, which may be related to the idea of living in both worlds.
