Confide_in_Me
Kylie Minogue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I stand in the distance
I view from afar
Should I offer some assistance
Should it matter who you are

We all get hurt by love
And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
Our problems should be shared

Confide in me
Confide in me

I can keep a secret
And throw away the key
But sometimes to release it
Is to set our children free

We all get hurt by love
And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
Our problems should be shared

Confide in me
Confide in me
Confide in me
Confide in me

Stick or twist, the choice is yours
Hit or miss, what's mine is yours
Stick or twist, the choice is yours
Hit or miss, what's mine is yours

We all get hurt by love
And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
Our problems should be shared

Confide in me
Confide in me
Confide in me
Confide in me

Confide in me
Confide in me




Confide in me
Confide in me

Overall Meaning

The opening verse of Kylie Minogue's song, Confide in Me, is about offering help to someone in need, even if they are a stranger. The chorus is a plea to confide in her, as she can keep a secret and offer a listening ear to a person's problems. The song speaks about the universal experience of hurt and the need to share it with someone. In this instance, Kylie is offering to be that person for you. The bridge, which starts with "Stick or twist, the choice is yours" is referring to the decision of whether or not to confide in someone. It's up to the individual to take a chance and open up, knowing that what they say will be kept confidential.


This song, written by Kylie Minogue, Steve Anderson and Dave Seaman, was a big hit for Kylie, reaching #1 in Australia and #2 on the UK charts. One of the interesting facts about Confide in Me is that it was Kylie's first single after leaving PWL, her longtime record label. This is also the first single Kylie co-wrote, showing off her songwriting skill. While the song was a hit in Australia, the US wasn't ready for Kylie just yet, and it failed to chart in America.

Это одна из лучших песен во всей мировой Музыке! Как, собственно, и сам клип - шедевр.
Браво, Кайли!

@user-je1bl3tz8x

спорное утверждение.Хотя , надо отдать должное,клип вышел забавным. Не несет никакого содержания,но смотрится без напряга,и притом до сих пор сохраняет актуальность,даже спустя 10ток лет с выпуска

This dark Kylie is interesting. Her vocals here are hypnotic.

@eduardochavacano

looking at it now, the video could have been darker. Although it was perfect then.

@zaferkucuk7494

She is the Goddess.

@@eduardochavacano Well to bo honest the whole subject of the clip seem to be very strong and sadly but still very up to date as the very first reason of deaths of males in their productive age (roughly 18-67) is a suicide here in the United Kingdom where i live

@rickacton7540

2:11 dark Kylie indeed....
