I Confess
Vicious Pink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blankly that look, but I can read you like an open book
Holding me tight, it seems that I'm the lucky girl tonight
To my dismay, I think you've caught me in your trap again
I confess, I'm hypnotized
Although I know that it's not wise
For guys like you, don't stay around
Just wish I knew, what you wanted me to do for you
Playing your games, impress the girls but never ask their name
Hatfull of dreams, a pseudo-king who's waiting for his queen
License to live, if it feels good you don't care who it's with
I confess, I'm hypnotized
Although I know that it's not wise
For guys like you, don't stay around
You want to win each heart in town
Alright it's true, you've won me too
Just can't resist the things you do
I confess, I'm hypnotized
Each time I look into your eyes
I try hard to be so cool
But end up feeling like a fool
I just can't deny it's true
I'll always hold the ball for you
I confess, I'm hypnotized
Although I know that it's not wise
The lyrics of I Confess by Vicious Pink depict the story of a girl who is caught up in the charm of a man who knows how to impress women but never truly cares for them. Despite knowing that she shouldn't get involved with him, she finds herself hypnotized by his actions and can't resist the way he moves on the dance floor. She admits that he has won her over and she can't deny how he makes her feel, even though she knows it's not wise.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, as the girl confesses how she is hypnotized by this man, even though she knows it's not wise. This shows the internal struggle of someone who knows they are being played but can't resist the temptation. The lyrics also describe the man as a hatful of dreams, a pseudo-king who is waiting for his queen, which suggests that he has a lot of aspirations but never settles down with one person.
Overall, the song I Confess by Vicious Pink is an eerie and powerful song that depicts the struggle of someone who is caught up in a toxic relationship. The lyrics describe the man as someone who only wants to win the heart of every woman in town and plays games to impress women without ever truly caring about them.

We should all confess that the 80s were a hard act to follow and continues to be. Funny how a B-Side song never got any airplay at the time of release but stands the test of time. Such LYRICS still remain true.

I am surprised, it is not included in any compilation from the 80s in Discogs!
Vicious Pink was a very underrated band. I miss the 80s!

A Song on the B-side that should have gotten recognized and played more. A song whose lyrics still remain true to this very day. Let's all Confess and thank Vicious Pink for letting us in on an 80's Secret.
