- The Confession LyricsDon't tell me anything...anyhow
your contribution, proposed solution fails for now
cause I can see your house from here
now the leaves have fallen, dear
you're such a little privateer
as your confession draws mor enear
Don't sell me anything...of any kind
your one time offer is so uncalled for
you call it piece of mind
but I don't want your life insurance
home auto health fire insurance
just make this basic inference
employs a little common sense
Time and again I find I'm listless or rather fistless
in time that's what I find
Carry me to Mecca with what you may devine
take me with you, take me with you, don't leave me behind
Don't tell me anything...anyhow
your trite donation, commercialization
won't hold water now
'cause I can see your ship from here
now the weather's bright and clear
you're such a little privateer
as your confession draws near
your contribution, proposed solution fails for now
cause I can see your house from here
now the leaves have fallen, dear
you're such a little privateer
as your confession draws mor enear
Don't sell me anything...of any kind
your one time offer is so uncalled for
you call it piece of mind
but I don't want your life insurance
home auto health fire insurance
just make this basic inference
employs a little common sense
in time that's what I find
Carry me to Mecca with what you may devine
take me with you, take me with you, don't leave me behind
Don't tell me anything...anyhow
your trite donation, commercialization
won't hold water now
'cause I can see your ship from here
now the weather's bright and clear
you're such a little privateer
as your confession draws near

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, Andrew Bird’s song ‘The Confession’ is a rather compelling skeptic portrayal of the commercialized and insincere offerings of the modern day. The song’s metaphors such as “privateer” and “confession” point at the lack of authenticity and the shallow competition that goes on in certain interactions. The confession lyrics mainly touch upon self-examination, social commentary, angst, solitude, and heartbreak. In tandem, the song talks about the advantages of one being able to reject the materialism, the desire for authenticity, and, hence, the search for meaning.
