Confidence
Geiger Teddy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing seems to be
Nothing tastes as sweet as what I can't have
Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair round your finger
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will for you I will
forgive me if I st-stutter
From all the clutter in my head
Cause I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem familiar
I crossed you in hallways a thousand times
No more camouflage
I want to be exposed
And not be afraid to fall
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannonball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will for you I will
Always want what you can't have
But I got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will, for you I will, for you I will
if I could dim the lights in the mall
And create a mood, I would
And shout out your name so it echoes in every room
I would
that's what I'd do
That's what I'd do
To get through to you
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannonball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will for you I will
Always want what you can't have
But I got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will, for you I will, for you I will
The song "Confidence" by Teddy Geiger is a heartfelt expression of love and the desire to be vulnerable in the face of it. The first two lines of the song set the tone for a feeling of being lost or unsure, as the singer wanders the streets in a world that seems empty and devoid of sweetness or satisfaction. Despite this feeling, there is one thing that stands out to the singer - the object of his affection, who he can't seem to get enough of. He describes watching them twist their hair around their finger, and feeling an urge to express his feelings for them. This is a moment of bravery for the singer, who says he is "not afraid" to tell this person how he feels.
The chorus of the song is an expression of determination and resolve, as the singer declares that he will "muster every ounce of confidence" he has in order to pursue this person. He says he will "cannon ball into the water" despite the risks, and do whatever it takes to make his intentions known. Even if he stutters or feels overwhelmed by the clutter in his head, he is willing to take the chance and be vulnerable in order to pursue love. The final verse expresses a desire to create the perfect setting for a confession of love, with dimmed lights and whispered echoes of the object of his affection's name.
