Confide in Me
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
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
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

And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now

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
And you will see what we can be
Confide in me, confide in me
And you will see what we can be

I stand in the distance
I view from afar
Should I offer some assistance?
Should it matter who you are?
[Chorus]
We all get hurt by love
And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
A problem 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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Confide in me
Confide in me
Confide in me
Confide in me
Confide in me
Confide in me

Hypnotic, magical, dark, prophetic masterpiece. So unjust that this song doesn't have the place in history it deserves.
Tom Ripley
@Smart.Robot Yeah, why?
Smart.Robot
@Tom Ripley Hey Tommy! Is that really u on the pic?
Lucian
@Tom Ripley 🙂

@Lucian I totally agree. The sound and the visuals are a contradiction that makes it far more interesting. It’s a hypnotic, brooding song with a poppy aesthetic with sinister undertones. Much more effective.
Lucian
To the ones who say the vid should have been darker/deeper, I think it is extremely well done as it was, and it has a lot of irony and sarcasm.
I would have found it waaaay more predictable and boring, to have some extremely dark/deep/kickass video, just because of the song's dark message and subtext.
I find the video extremely well chosen for the song, and it offers the expected feeling of sorrow and solitude, that the lyrics, voice and instruments are meant to offer.
I don't think the video was meant to be understood by people who can't read emotions well enough.

Очень гипнотическая песня и конечно же сама Кайли. Слушали давно в школьные годы и до сих пор переслушиваю. 1990-е действительно богат красивыми песнями и разными жанрами👍❤️🇰🇿
Alex Alexandrov
Да, Кайли классная, настоящий бриллиант!
Bob Droidsky
the 90-s were the best, then it all turned into humping a wrecking ball, crying about overeating, etc.
Sasha Duh
Классная Кайли👍
