Confessions

Lea Longo's song 'Confessions' delves into the complexities of vulnerability, emotional connection, and the human experience of sharing one's innermost thoughts and feelings. The lyrics suggest a cautious approach to revealing personal truths, as indicated by the line, 'I will give you my confessions, but I won't take you in too deep.' This reflects a common human hesitation to fully expose oneself, fearing the potential consequences of such openness. The act of confession here is portrayed as a delicate balance between sharing and protecting oneself.

The recurring theme of offering one's soul, as seen in 'I'll give to you my soul to keep,' signifies a deep level of trust and intimacy. This metaphorical exchange of the soul highlights the profound connection the speaker seeks with the listener. However, the song also acknowledges the limitations of this connection, as seen in the lines, 'I will take away your cancer, but I won't take away your pain.' This suggests that while emotional support can be offered, it cannot completely alleviate the other's suffering.

The imagery of taking someone 'high' and 'low' and 'all around the world' symbolizes the emotional and experiential journey that comes with deep relationships. The repeated question, 'would you ever know,' implies a sense of uncertainty about whether the other person truly understands the depth of the speaker's feelings and experiences. The song concludes with a hopeful note, envisioning a shared journey where both individuals reach the sky and touch each other's souls, ultimately finding solace and understanding in their connection.
