Confessions
Coral Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lives a man we can't forgive
His felony was jealousy
An impossible personality
And if you think it's you then let me know
He wasn't rich, he wasn't poor
Though how he longed for so much more
At night he dreamed of buccaneers
And if you think it's you then let me know
His window was his favourite seat
For watching history repeat
Was he cursed or was he blessed
In the end well he confessed
And if you think it's you then let me know
This is what he said...
The warning signs
Are on my wall
There's no feelin' anymore
Has it always been like this?
Signed and sealed without a kiss
Well I know it's there
It's just something that I missed
And through the tears of madness
Souvenirs of sadness
Is all he sees, all he sees
So how do I begin to end this tale?
Of a time when all was well
And he'd laze on summer days
Down by the lake
Where the seagulls play
What a way
To waste his days
Who is to blame?
Have I been framed
Who is to blame
Have I been framed
For the death of these days?
In Coral's song Confessions, the storyteller describes a man who lives on the same street as the singer but is utterly unforgivable. He was consumed by jealousy, an impossible personality, and longed for more than he already possessed. He dreamed of being a pirate and watching history repeat itself by sitting in his window. Although he wasn't rich, it didn't stop him from desiring more than he had. The man ultimately confesses that the warning signs are all around him, indicating that he has lost touch with his emotions, and he ponders whether that has always been the case. He realizes that something he missed is preventing him from feeling anything.
The singer then goes on to describe the man's surroundings and environment. He wasted his days lounging by the lake where the seagulls played. The singer then concludes by asking who is to blame and whether the man has been unfairly framed for the death of those days.

He spent his time by the lake
Where the seagulls play
He often witnessed seagulls playing
What a way
This is how he used to spend his days
To waste his days
Many people might see it as a waste of time
Who is to blame?
The man wonders who is responsible for something
Have I been framed
He thinks he might have been framed for something
Who is to blame
The man repeats his question
Have I been framed
He wonders once again if he was framed for something
For the death of these days?
He wonders if he was the cause of the end of those days

Inquiring minds would like to know: Since we did, in fact, get A mermaid off the ship, do we get $25 off our next booking?
Jokes aside, this is a wonderful audio. Top notch writing and performance, and the singing is excellent.
