Confession
One Mile Left Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Should act appropriate and don't be stupid
We were the first to rush in line and mess it all up
We′re out of closing doors and watching porn but
Please don't believe that this is true, cause it is not
And don't put faith in us, the cause for distrust
What we will do with our lives, we don′t know yet
So please don′t ever ask at all.
We have never learned enough
To know when to stop it
We still believe we will change
The world one day
You did all you could now hope and pray
I'm sorry that I never cared about speed limits
If I run over the first cat I′ll stop it
No one is perfect and art needs the right perspective
But please don't ever look at all
We have never learned enough
To know when to stop it
We still believe we will change
The world one day
You did all you could now hope and pray
I found out that we′re loosing ground now
And you say that we earned it somehow
You don't know
We should go
They told us we will have no future
We said yes, that is what we aim for
Yes we know.
We have never learned enough
To know when to stop it
We still believe we will change
The world one day
You did all you could now hope and pray
Learned enough
To know when to stop it
We still believe we will change
The world one day
You did all you could now hope and pray.
The chorus of One Mile Left’s song Confession kicks off with the statement “Yes, now we’re old enough and now we should be grown up, should act appropriate and don’t be stupid”. The song highlights the confusion and uncertainty that comes with adulthood. The first line speaks to the society’s expectations of individuals once they are considered “grown up”. The pressure of conforming and being responsible can often lead to confusion as to which path to take in life. This is further exemplified in the line “What we will do with our lives, we don’t know yet, so please don’t ever ask at all.” This shows the uncertainty that comes with being at that stage of one’s life.
The song goes on to show the individuals’ lack of judgment when it comes to decision making, as evidenced in the line, “I'm sorry that I never cared about speed limits, If I run over the first cat I'll stop it.” The song highlights the difficulty in understanding the difference between right and wrong, and how sometimes one can only hope to make the right decision. This is echoed in the line “We have never learned enough to know when to stop it”. The line further emphasizes the need for growth and understanding, especially when it comes to making responsible decisions.
Overall, One Mile Left’s Confession is a poignant representation of the struggles that come with growing up, the confusion that comes with it, and the uncertainty that can result from it.
