Confusion
Ing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Disrespectfully and untrue
The burden that we are carrying
Is way too much for me and you
Sometimes it is better to lay
Don't you think?
A veil of smoke is what I am
Your thoughts will take on their way
To grow old and to be certain
Sometimes it is better to lay
Don't you think?
"Confusion" by Ing is a song that speaks to the feelings of burden and detachment from reality. The first stanza speaks about "false eyes" that stare "disrespectfully and untrue." This could be interpreted as people who are judging or gossiping about the singer, and not doing so in a fair or honest way. The burden that "we" are carrying is too much, indicating that this is a shared experience, and not just one person's struggle. This could be anything from interpersonal conflicts to the general pressures of life.
The second stanza is more introspective, with the singer describing themselves as "evaporating" - disappearing or fading away. They compare themselves to a "veil of smoke," which reinforces the sense of instability and lack of substance. The line "Your thoughts will take on their way" suggests that the singer is aware of the fleeting nature of their existence, and that others are unlikely to remember them in any real way. However, there is a sense of inevitability to this - that growing old and becoming certain of things is just a natural part of life.
Overall, "Confusion" is a song that captures the sense of feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from others. There is a sense of longing in the repeated line "Sometimes it is better to lay, don't you think?" - a desire to escape from the pressure and chaos of life. The song ends with this line, suggesting that there is no clear resolution or path forward - only a need to rest and recuperate before continuing on.
