Confession
coldrain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
to say these things to you
And I hope its not too late
We're running out of time
and I'm running out of lines
But I've still been
trying to hide
Every night I close my eyes and
You are all that comes to mind
I always thought in time
I'd know where I would go
and I know just what to do
But I never thought that
I'd be part of something more
Something more then just myself
Every time I look at you
I tell myself I must be strong
I must hold on
But I confess
I'm still afraid and weak
(afraid and weak)
I confess
there's so much I can't see
(I can't see)
But I promise you
with my heart in hand
I will give you all of me
I confess
I need you here with me
So please just stay with me
I confess
I'm still afraid and weak
I'll confess
I need you next to me
next to me
But I confess
I'm still afraid and weak
(afraid and weak)
I confess
there's so much I can't see
(I can't see)
But I promise you
with my heart in hand
I will give you all of me
I confess
I need you here with me
So please just stay with me
So please just stay with me
So please just stay with me ...
please just stay with me ...
please just stay with me
The opening lines of "Confession" by Coldrain reveal an individual who has struggled to gather courage to express their true feelings to someone. The song is about someone who realizes that time is running out and they must act fast to declare their love before it's too late. The opening lines “It’s taken so much time, to say these things to you...We’re running out of time,” show that the singer knows they have waited too long to express their love interest, but they are still trying to do so before it is too late. The lyrics also suggest that the singer has been keeping these feelings to themselves for some time, trying to hide them.
The chorus of the song is an admission of vulnerability from the singer, who is confessing their fears, weaknesses, and doubts to their love interest. The lines "But I confess, I'm still afraid and weak… I confess, there's so much I can't see" suggest that the singer is unsure, scared and feels incomplete without the person they love. The verse, "Every time I look at you, I tell myself I must be strong, I must hold on," indicates that the presence of the person they love gives them strength and hope.
Overall, "Confession" is a song about the overwhelming feelings of love and vulnerability, and the lengths someone might go to show how much they care for their loved ones.
Line by Line Meaning
It's taken so much time
A long time has passed since I wanted to say these things to you
to say these things to you
To tell you everything I've been hiding inside
And I hope its not too late
I pray it's not too late to tell you this
We're running out of time
We are running out of moments to spend together
and I'm running out of lines
I'm losing my courage and my words to express my feelings
But I've still been trying to hide
But I've been trying to keep my emotions hidden
Every night I close my eyes and
Each night before I sleep
think about the rest of my life
I think about my future
You are all that comes to mind
You are the only one I can think of and want to spend my future with
I always thought in time
I thought over time
I'd know where I would go
I would have figured out my destination
and I know just what to do
I would know exactly what to do with my life
But I never thought that
But I never expected that
I'd be part of something more
I would become part of something bigger
Something more then just myself
Something that is beyond me, something significant
Every time I look at you
Whenever I see you
I tell myself I must be strong
I remind myself to be brave
I must hold on
I must not let go
But I confess
But I admit
I'm still afraid and weak
I'm still scared and insecure
(afraid and weak)
(scared and insecure)
I confess
I admit
there's so much I can't see
I don't know what the future holds
(I can't see)
(I don't know)
But I promise you
But I swear to you
with my heart in hand
With my whole heart and sincerity
I will give you all of me
I will give you everything I have and can be
I confess
I admit
I need you here with me
I want you to be by my side
So please just stay with me
So please don't leave me, stay with me
So please just stay with me ...
So please don't go and stay with me
please just stay with me ...
Please stay with me
please just stay with me
Please don't go and stay with me
