Confession
Me And That Man Niklas Kvarforth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No brother, my life ain't good
There is no redemption for a coward like me
But then again, no one said that it should
My voice ain't worthy
No dear sister, it shouldn't be heard
Because all that I've told you are lies upon lies upon lies
My life ain't simple
Sugar coated, potent or fun
Tonight I'll be paying for fuckups
Through the barrel of a shotgun
Salvation will come
So dear father, poor mother, please listen
I've fucked up, I'm sorry to say
The son that you once knew is no longer with us
But I chose my own path
And it's not cause of you
Brother
Sister
Father
Mother
Ona
Opa
It's not cause of you
The lyrics to Me And That Man Niklas Kvarforth's song Confession convey a deep-seated feeling of guilt, regret and confession. The singer confesses to his family and acknowledges that his life is far from simple. He describes his life as difficult and joyless, with no chance of redemption for a coward like him. The singer is self-aware that he is not deserving of attention, and his voice shouldn't be heard. He admits to being a liar and apologises to his sister for never learning from his mistakes.
The singer's life and decisions have led him to a point of no return, where he is facing the consequences of his actions through the barrel of a shotgun. He is resigned to the fact that salvation will come for him in the form of punishment. The singer then addresses his parents, acknowledging that he has messed up and that the person they once knew is no longer the same. However, he also acknowledges that his path has been chosen by him and not them.
In essence, the song is about acknowledging one's past mistakes, taking responsibility, and seeking salvation for oneself. It is a powerful confession that speaks to the human need for redemption and forgiveness.

My life ain't easy
My existence is far from being trouble-free
No brother, my life ain't good
It's not just that my life is devoid of any goodness or happiness either, dear sibling
There is no redemption for a coward like me
I don't think I can ever be absolved of my sins, given how much of a coward I've been
But then again, no one said that it should
It's not like anyone ever claimed that redemption was mine for the taking
My voice ain't worthy
I don't believe my voice has any value or worth
No dear sister, it shouldn't be heard
It would be best if you didn't have to listen to it, my beloved sibling
Because all that I've told you are lies upon lies upon lies
Everything I've ever spoken to you has been nothing but deceit stacked upon falsehoods, one after the other
Oh poor sister, you never learn
You, my dear sister, are such a pity, for you keep on trusting me even though I keep on deceiving you
My life ain't simple
My life is far from being uncomplicated or easy to manage
Sugar coated, potent or fun
It's not like my life is some kind of cloyingly sweet, intoxicatingly powerful, or enjoyable escape from reality either
Tonight I'll be paying for fuckups
I will face the consequences of my past poor decisions and suffer for them tonight
Through the barrel of a shotgun
I'll face my punishment through the blast of a deadly weapon
Salvation will come
But having gone through all of this will lead me to salvation somehow
So dear father, poor mother, please listen
Please listen to me, dear father and unfortunate mother
I've fucked up, I'm sorry to say
I have made some seriously bad choices, and for this, I am truly sorry
The son that you once knew is no longer with us
The son you used to know isn't around anymore
But I chose my path
I opted to go in this direction on my own
And it's not because of you
And you, dear family, cannot be held responsible for my choices

@cobrallama6236
Nergel and Kvarforth doing Nick Cave style alt-country with blast beats? Someone's been invading my dreams.
@kuolematonkuolaaja
My thoughts exactly
@Villehakkinen87
Niklas got a very blues'y and smoky voice on him. Very nice collaboration, Niklas should do more this kinda stuff.
@manoelborges9748
Niklas fits perfect with Me And That Man
@blackcorridors
Yep, he is poser enough to fit the bill.
@rytkosenjussi6619
@blackcorridors black metal elitist exposed. I think you are biggest poser here
@Beyn1
@blackcorridors He is not a fucing poser, just a cheap copy of GG Alin, Satan Panonski... but.... with his creativity, he created a totally new sub genre. It is well known... so stfu
@enricomadrigal9168
Shining: composing the same song since Född Förlorare
@fsu7482
Oh my God Niklas singing clean is so beautiful
@ovfireovvoid7526
Immediate chills. I have followed Nergal and Niklas forever and to see them collaborate, is a misanthropic metalhead's dream.
