Confusion
ELO Part II Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All around the world it's shining.
But cold winds blow across your mind.
Confusion--it's such a terrible shame.
Confusion--you don't know what you're sayin'.
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on.
You feel there's no-one there for you to lean on.
You're always out there runnin'.
And I see that lost look in your eyes.
Confusion, I don't know what I should do.
Confusion, I leave it all up to you.
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on.
You feel there's no-one there for you to lean on.
Dark is the road you wander.
And as you stand there under.
The starry sky,you feel sad inside.
Confusion, you know it's drivin' me wild.
Confusion, it comes as no big surprise.
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on.
You feel there's no-one there for you to lean on.

@dellacateworld
Who's here in 2023? The classics never go out of style.
@wolfattack402000
That is because there is no style today. It's sad to say that what they call music today pales in comparison to even disco of the mid-late '70's.
@AARONPLAYS360
2023 anyone?
