Into the Confessional
Talia Stewart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sticks and stones will break my bones and words will hurt me too
I wanna make this house a home but can't afford a roof
Into the confessional, two lies and a truth
Vomit all my vices up to make room for virtue

Someone throw the first stone, some cut me at the root
I let an Adam tempt me and I ate forbidden fruit
He writes about his demons and I write 'bout how he runs
He's proud to be a drifter, no one's quicker to abandon

My heart owns my head, and my head it's gonna roll
My heart owns my head, and my head it's gonna roll
My heart owns my head, and my head it's gonna roll
Nothings left unsaid in the confessional

It wasn't my intention to fall miserably in love
I can't help feeling guilty when my hand it fits the glove
Father, please forgive me, I almost sold my soul
The pain it did me filthy, it was out of my control

Hit me til I laugh, gulp it down and spit it back
I have to feel it all, have to honor the attack
Let myself bleed out, enough to fill a bath
Let myself burn out so I can rise from ash

My heart owns my head, and my head it's gonna roll
My heart owns my head, and my head it's gonna roll
My heart owns my head, and my head it's gonna roll
Nothings left unsaid in the confessional

My heart owns my head, oh
My heart owns my head, oh
My (my) heart (heart) owns (owns) my head, oh
My (my) heart (heart) owns (owns) my head, oh

My heart owns my head, and my head it's gonna roll
My heart owns my head, and my head it's gonna roll




My heart owns my head, and my head it's gonna roll
Nothings left unsaid in the confessional

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Talia Stewart's song Into the Confessional reflect an introspective journey towards self-discovery, redemption, and forgiveness. The first verse alludes to the old adage that "sticks and stones will break my bones and words will hurt me too." Here, the artist expresses resiliently to emotional pain and acknowledges her struggle to find her place, as she cannot even afford to make her house a home. The artist then mentions confession as a cathartic experience that allows her to reflect on her own sins and truths, in the hopes of shedding her vices and attaining virtues.


The next verse discusses how the artist feels the pain of being shunned by others, as they throw the first stone at her or cut her at the root. She admits to succumbing to temptation and eating the forbidden fruit just as Adam had done. The artist then contrasts her own turmoil with that of her lover, who writes about his own demons instead of how he abandons her. With the chorus, the artist affirms that it is her heart that controls her mind, and thus she is willing to pour out her emotions in the confessional, saying nothing left unsaid in the process. In the third verse, the artist asks to be hit until she laughs, to laugh through her pain, and to honor her feelings through the attack. She acknowledges her wounds and discomfort with herself and promises to let it all out until she can rise from the ashes.
