How this story started
The opening lyrics of Mercury Tide's song "Confusion" set a mood of uncertainty and disorientation. Walking through the rainy night, the singer is mired in a state of confusion, trying to make sense of an unclear situation. The repetition of the word "confusion" emphasizes just how overwhelming these feelings are. The singer's desire to "find the answer" to this story suggests that they are grappling with some larger, more important problem.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more introspective. The singer asks themselves whether they are "losing faith" and whether they have "missed the point". These questions suggest a deeper, more existential crisis - the singer isn't just confused about the specifics of their situation, but also about the meaning of their life. The song's chorus, with its repetition of the word "confusion" and the line "I don't know what's real", emphasizes just how overwhelming this sense of uncertainty can be.
