Confessional Of Lies
Fight The Fade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say that I'm changed
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
I want more so I keep on reaching

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)

While others may claim that this person has changed, they cannot possibly understand the depth of what this person has gone through.

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

Lyrics (feel free to make suggestions as they may not be correct):

You say that I've changed
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
(I want more) so I keep on reaching


What I've become 
Is eating me inside
I want my 
Confessional of lies


As the years go by
The pendulum swings on
And if I am to 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 my 
Confessional of lies


On and on and on it goes
On and on and on it goes
On and on and on it goes
On and on and on it goes

On and on and on it goes
On and on and on it goes
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 my (On and on and on it goes)
Confessional of lies (On and on and on it goes)

Confessional of lies
Confessional of lies

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
