Confusion
Extrema Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey man
Listen to the music
Better take of yourself
And don't abuse it
Forget about hit songs or trodden times
Trash, Rap, Grunge, Funky, mixing styles
Plus (an)other five lines
Why be stupid man
And complicate your life
Guitar hero era (has come to an) end
(Now) feel the incredible groove of the band
Aren't you brave to follow me?
So forget (about) your past
And your destiny
Move your body
Get into the crowd
This is the right way!!!
Chorus
We don't choose some trend (for a) solution
We don't need your business illusions
We don't cause that bit of confusion
We just know... where's the truth
There are too many bands
With too many deals
Too many preachers
With the wrong ideas
Magazines criticize
(Always) following styles
Fucking poseurs with messed up ties
Selling my ass, "where do I sign?"
Really sorry it's not my style
Someone told me
Go (and) live your life
Be on your guard 'till the end of time
Aren't you brave to follow me?
(So) forget your past and your destiny
Move your body
Get into the crowd
This is the right way
Chorus
GTR solo
Repeat Bridge
Repeat first verse
A trend solution makes a business illusion
We don't choose some trend (for a) solution
We don't need your business illusions
We don't cause that bit of confusion
We just know... Where's the truth!!!
The lyrics of Extrema's song "Confusion" talk about music and the current state of the music industry, as well as the importance of finding one's own way in life. The lyrics start with a call to listen to music and not to abuse it, while also rejecting the idea of following hit songs or trends. Instead, the lyrics promote the importance of keeping things simple and straightforward by focusing on the seven notes plus five lines that make up music. This is contrasted with the idea of overcomplicating things, which the lyrics suggest is a mistake.
The song goes on to criticize the current state of the music industry, with too many bands and too many preachers trying to sell their ideas. The lyrics suggest that many of these people have the wrong ideas or are just posing, in contrast to the band's message of finding the truth. The chorus emphasizes this point, stating that the band doesn't need to follow trends, business illusions, or cause confusion, but instead knows where the truth lies.
Overall, the lyrics of "Confusion" are a call to action, urging listeners to reject the status quo in favor of finding their own way in life. The song's message is conveyed through a mix of criticism and encouragement, promoting the idea of standing up for oneself and pursuing truth.
