History of Orange County, Californian The Confession - Band was a five piece hard rock band out of Orange County, California who released their self titled debut EP in 2005. The band is heavily influenced by Iron Maiden, with similar guitar tones and long winded instrumental breaks. The band utilized metalcore-esque screams in their EP but used it sparingly on their full length album, Requiem, in favor of melodic singing.
The Confession is an image heavy band, fitting in with the hardcore fashion scene loosely, while still managing to have some heavy metal fashion influence on them, apparent in the leather jackets they often sport. The image of the band has allowed them to be accepted into these music scenes, having toured with Bullet For My Valentine and Avenged Sevenfold, as well as a spot on the Taste of Chaos tour. They recently completed a tour with thrash metal pioneers Megadeth as well. Critics often point out heavy metal, hardcore, and post-hardcore influences in their music, while the band themselves refer to their music as timeless rock n roll.
The band released their self titled debut EP in 2005. Their full length debut "Requiem", which was produced by Avenged Sevenfold's M. Shadows, was released in July of 2007.
The Confession is also the name of a german punk rock band.
On January 15th, 2008 The Confession announced, via their MySpace page, that they had disbanded.

The Confession Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All of the pain that takes his place
We cry out to you with words and vows
They don't amount to what you went through
They say the good they die young
They say the wicked live too long
I hope yer hearin' this in heaven
Sung to me ten angels strong
It hurts to leave but at least yer free...
Stay in my mind 'til it's my time
And may you be there when I see the light
Something we found on hallowed ground
Your memory will never be put down...
They say the good they die young
They say the wicked live too long
I hope yer hearin' this in heaven
Now that yer gone I hear a song
Sung to me ten angels strong
It hurts to leave but at least yer free...
Keep missin you is all I do
Speak to me tell me how is the view...
It hurts inside the city cries
God you made a mistake that night...
And I miss you, I miss you tonight and I miss you... (speak to me tell me how is the view)
And I miss you, I miss you tonight, and I miss you... (god you made a mistake That night)
I miss you
The lyrics of The Confession's Requiem convey a sense of loss and grief for someone who has passed away too soon. There is a collective effort to try and find solace in the aftermath while acknowledging that words and vows are inadequate to pay tribute to the departed. The lines "They say the good they die young, they say the wicked live too long" juxtapose the unfairness and unpredictability of life and death. The singer hopes that the person they have lost is hearing their message from beyond, and they describe their memory as something that will always be cherished and never forgotten. The lyrics close with an expression of longing and a sense of unresolvable pain, as the singer misses the person they have lost and hopes to hear from them somehow.
Requiem is a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the intensity of loss that can accompany it. The song speaks to the universal fears and emotions that come with death and grief, making it a relatable and powerful piece of art. It is a reminder of the importance of celebrating the people we have in our lives while we can and cherishing their memory when they are gone.
