Confessional Of Lies
Fight The Fade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you have no idea
The things that I've seen
Or the blood I've had to spill
I want more than what is underneath me
I want more so I keep on reaching
I want more than what is underneath me
What I've become
Is eating me inside
I want more
Than a confessional of lies
As the years go by
The pendulum swings on
And If I'm a stay alive
Then tomorrow I'll be gone
I want more than what is underneath me
I want more so I keep on reaching
I want more than what is underneath me
I want more so I keep on reaching
What I've become
Is eating me inside
I want more
Than a confessional of lies
On and on and on it goes On and on and on it goes (What I've become)
On and on and on it goes (Is eating me inside)
On and on and on it goes (I want more)
On and on and on it goes (Than a confessional of lies)
Confessional of lies
The lyrics of "Confessional of Lies" by Fight the Fade describe the internal struggle of someone who has witnessed and experienced things that have changed them fundamentally. While others may claim that this person has changed, they cannot possibly understand the depth of what this person has gone through. The singer wants more than what is currently at the surface level of their life and is constantly pushing themselves to reach higher. However, they recognize that what they have become is disturbing them internally and they want to escape the trap of constantly confessing their lies.
The line "I want more than what is underneath me, I want more so I keep on reaching" speaks to the singer's ambition to move beyond their current circumstances and find meaning in something greater. The line "What I've become is eating me inside, I want more than a confessional of lies" encapsulates the central theme of the song, as the singer is tired of hiding behind half-truths and wants to move beyond the cycle of confessing their shortcomings.
Throughout the song, the chorus repeats the line "on and on and on it goes", emphasizing the cyclical nature of the singer's struggles. However, they keep pushing forward and reaching for more even though their inner turmoil threatens to consume them.
Line by Line Meaning
You say that I'm changed
You are saying that I am different now
But you have no idea
However, you have no knowledge of what I have experienced
The things that I've seen
The situations that I have witnessed
Or the blood I've had to spill
And the violence I had to display
I want more than what is underneath me
I desire something greater than what is currently surrounding me
I want more so I keep on reaching
So I continue to strive for more
What I've become
The person I have transformed into
Is eating me inside
Is causing me internal agony
I want more
I crave something greater
Than a confessional of lies
Something deeper than just confessing false statements
As the years go by
With every passing year
The pendulum swings on
Life has its ups and downs
And If I'm a stay alive
And if I want to survive
Then tomorrow I'll be gone
I have to take advantage of today
On and on and on it goes
The cycle continues
On and on and on it goes (What I've become)
The agony persists
On and on and on it goes (Is eating me inside)
Causing distress internally
On and on and on it goes (I want more)
Continuing to crave for more
On and on and on it goes (Than a confessional of lies)
Something much deeper than telling false truths

I would say it's pretty much all correct, except I think he says "I want more, than a Confessional of Lies"
But other than that, good job. :D
