Confusion
Leos S/N Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street
Now did you read the news today
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fires still alight
They're burning into the night
Making too many problems
And not much love to go around
Can't you see this is a land of confusion
This is the world we live in (Oh, oh, oh)
And these are the hands we're given (Oh, oh, oh)
Use them and let's start trying (Oh, oh, oh)
To make it a place worth living in
Oh, Superman, where are you now
When everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour
This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is a land of confusion
This is the world we live in (Oh, oh, oh)
And these are the hands we're given (Oh, oh, oh)
Use them and let's start trying (Oh, oh, oh)
To make it a place worth living in
I remember long ago
Oh, when the sun was shining
Yes, and the stars were bright all through the night
And the sound of your laughter as I held you tight
So long ago
I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep
Too many men, there's too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go around
Can't you see this is a land of confusion
Now this is the world we live in (Oh, oh, oh)
And these are the hands we're given (Oh, oh, oh)
Use them and let's start trying (Oh, oh, oh)
To make it a place worth fighting for
This is the world we live in (Oh, oh, oh)
And these are the names we're given (Oh, oh, oh)
Stand up and let's start showing (Oh, oh, oh)
Just where our lives are going to
The lyrics of "Confusion" by Leos S/N paint a picture of a world filled with chaos, uncertainty, and a lack of love. The singer reflects on the dreams and nightmares that have plagued them, juxtaposed by the harsh reality of marching feet and fires burning into the night. Despite reports that the danger has passed, the lingering sense of unease and destruction remain palpable. The lyrics highlight the overwhelming presence of conflict and strife, with too many individuals causing problems and a scarcity of compassion and understanding to navigate through it all.
As the song progresses, the plea for a savior like Superman becomes evident, questioning where such figures are when everything seems to be falling apart. The reference to "men of steel, men of power" losing control emphasizes the idea of institutions and authority figures failing to maintain stability and order. The call for unity and action is emphasized, urging individuals to use the resources and power at their disposal to make the world a better place to live in, despite the challenges and lack of love that currently define the environment.
The lyrics then shift to a nostalgic reflection on a past where the sun shone brightly, the stars lit up the night sky, and laughter filled the air. This contrast between the past happiness and the present turmoil further underscores the longing for a better future and a desire to right the wrongs that have accumulated over time. The declaration that "my generation will put it right" speaks to a sense of responsibility and determination to make positive changes, rather than merely making empty promises.
In the closing verses, there is a sense of urgency and empowerment as the singer acknowledges the reality of the world they live in, emphasizing the importance of taking a stand and determining the direction of their lives. The lyrics call for action, unity, and resilience in the face of adversity, urging individuals to show resolve and commitment in creating a world worth fighting for. Overall, "Confusion" captures a profound sense of disillusionment with the current state of the world while also offering a glimmer of hope and a call to action to strive for a better future.
