After the Backstreet Boys went on a hiatus allowing its members to pursue solo careers or just take an time off, he released his solo album "Now or Never", featuring songs such as "Help Me" and "My Confession" which are more rock oriented than the material of the Backstreet Boys. His first solo effort was released around the same time as Justin Timberlake's, which allowed the press to create an artificial competition between them, similar to the rivalry between their respective boygroups (Backstreet Boys and N'SYNC).
Dated stars such as hotel heiress Paris Hilton and the singer Willa Ford. Plays the guitar and the drums and has also pursued a career as an actor, making an appearance in the movie "The Hollow".
In 2005 the Backstreet Boys released their "comeback" album "Never Gone" with the headliner single "Incomplete" and embarked on a world tour.
During 2006 he could be seen in the reality show "House of Carters", along with his brother and sisters; whilst recording another cd with the Backstreet Boys, bound to be released in 2007.
Songfacts reports that Nick Carter began work on his second solo album in 2003, but the recordings were aborted when the Backstreet Boys returned to the studio. He eventually completed I'm Taking Off in 2010 and released the record on February 2, 2011 in Japan and May 24, 2011 in the USA.
Carter and the rest of the Backstreet Boys released a new album, In A World Like this, which included Kevin Richardson for the first time in six years.
My Confession
Nick Carter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time I look around you're someone else instead
I want to ask you why but everytime I try, you cry
And I want you to know when you're floating in space
And I want you to know if you come back down
And I need you to kow
I want to breath you
This is my confession
I want to see what you see when you cry those tears
Give me just a second, what am I to do?
Maybe it's obsession
But this is my confession
I confess, every time I come around
Something's always got you down
And I don't understand why
And if you want to tell me
I'll be the angel on your shoulder, baby
I'll be the man that you confide in
But I can't seem to
Get you out that place
And everything you do is just
Erasing the pain (and it's not right)
Hatred inside, I can't ask why
And I want you to know when you're floating in space
And I want you to know if you come back down
And I need you to kow
I want to breath you
I want to feel you near
This is my confession
I want to see what you see when you cry those tears
Give me just a second, what am I to do?
Maybe it's obsession
But this is my confession
And I want you to know when you're floating in space
And I want you to know if you come back down
And I need you to know
I want to breath you, I want to feel you near
This is my confession (This is my confession)
I want to see what you see when you cry those tears
This is my confession (give me just a second)
I want to breath you, I want to feel you near
Maybe it's obsession
This is my confession
I want to see what you see when you cry those tears, yeah yeah
This is my confession
This is my confession
In Nick Carter's song My Confession, the singer is trying to understand and connect with someone who is going through a difficult time. The lyrics suggest that the person is struggling with their identity, as they keep changing who they are. The singer wants to know what's wrong, but every time he tries to talk to the person, they cry instead of opening up to him. He wants to be there for them, but he can't seem to get through to them.
The chorus of the song repeats the singer's desire to be close to this person, to "breathe" them and be near them. He wants to see what they see when they cry, even if it means he has to obsess over it.

Overall, the song explores themes of empathy, emotional pain, and the desire for human connection. The lyrics suggest that the singer wants to help this person, but he's struggling to do so.
