Brave Confession
Mariha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I knoe is that I cannot
Know now
Guarantee is just a word
That can't be given
All I need is just a little
Of you now
Honestly indeed a matter
Of definition Homestly I just cannot believe
That you've been picking me
Out of these superficial
Over-styled great happenings
Around us
Sing for tis great luck and
For my blue conditions Chorus: Elementary seeking for
Some patience
We'll survive another quarter
Of an hour
Never taking anything for granted
Symbolizing we've got more time
Than forever
Isolated mind connection
Never mind and never mention
Would you like to maybe
Tell the truth
Or are we already there All I know is I don't know
To show how
Madly I'm crushed but self-protection's winning
What I want is much more
Of you than this
Now don't believe my strategy
Has plans once been working Chorus: Elementary seeking for
Some patience
We'll survive another quarter
Of an hour
Never taking anything for granted
Symbolizing we've got more time
Than forever
Isolated mind connection
Never mind and never mention
Would you like to maybe
Tell the truth
Or are we already there What I want to know is will
You stay long
I'd like to have this guarantee
That can't be given
Being a coward's just a little safer
Have you seen how many times
My plans been failing
Homestly don't know if you
Agree yet
That I made yourself part of my
Non-intellectual stupid blue-eyed
Life you could have mentioned
Sing for this first love and
For my brave confession Chorus: Elementary seeking for
Some patience
We'll survive another quarter
Of an hour
Never taking anything for granted
Symbolizing we've got more time
Than forever
Isolated mind connection
Never mind and never mention
Would you like to maybe




Tell the truth
Or are we already there

Overall Meaning

The song "Brave Confession" by Mariha is a melancholic reflection on the ineffability of love and the difficulty of finding meaningful connections in a world of superficial distractions. The opening lines set the tone of uncertainty and unfulfilled longing, as Mariha confesses, "All I know is that I cannot/Know now/Guarantee is just a word/That can't be given." She seems to be struggling with her own feelings of vulnerability and self-protection, as she admits that "Madly I'm crushed but self-protection's winning."


Despite these doubts and fears, Mariha is still searching for a deeper connection with someone, and she pleads for "a little/Of you now." But even as she seeks this connection, she is wary of the "superficial/Over-styled great happenings/Around us," suggesting that she sees through the false promises of contemporary culture and yearns for something more meaningful. The chorus repeats the mantra of "Elementary seeking for/Some patience," implying that true love requires time and effort, and cannot be found through instant gratification or easy answers.


Ultimately, the song is a declaration of vulnerable honesty, as Mariha declares her love in a "brave confession" and asks whether her partner will stay with her. The melancholic tone of the song underscores the fragility of love and the difficulty of finding meaningful connections, but also suggests that there is hope for those who are willing to be honest and patient in their search.

@jennamartin4208

Yes i love Tessa and Mariah

@kaatdebusscher4522

How did this end? Did they end up together or not? We don't get this show here in Belgium and I usually don't watch daytime tv, but boy oh boy, that actress who plays Mariah is something else. Raw emotion..

@cheryl7003

Kaat Debusscher They didnt end up together.. We never see Tessa on screen anymore.

@kaatdebusscher4522

Thanks for taking the time to reply :)
That blows. I guess there was too much of a fall-out from viewers so the writers let this romance die a quiet death?

@cheryl7003

Kaat Debusscher That is Exactly what happened.. they have chosen to concentrate on the same plotlines they have already recycled for many years instead of trying something new. I have given up on them and moved on to Mercedes and Barbara. Although I have to be patient and wait for subtitles, it has been much more satisfying

@kaatdebusscher4522

I hear ya. They go back to playing musical chair with existing relationships and half the cast is someone's half-sister-who-came-back-from-the-dead. It's too bad, really. Not that I liked Tessa much, but Mariah was mesmerizing.

There is a slew of shows out there that have lesbian plotlines, thankfully. I live vicariously through them.

@jadedzealot7150

They just revamped the storyline! They've been putting it on the back burner for months, but Mal Young said his plans for them were always present. They touched on it in Monday's episode, so this summer should be interesting.
