Music devotees religiously do confession,
Chanted before a box of sing-along.
But it rarely leads to the singer’s redemption,
For it’s like buying absolution for a song.
Chanted before a box of sing-along,
Old guilt is spilled to the crowd.
It sure is like buying absolution for a song
And there’s freedom in singing it out loud.
While old guilt is spilled to the crowd,
Listeners cringe at the bitter tone.
There’s freedom in singing it out loud,
But the tension mounts in the microphone.
Listeners cringe at the bitter tone
As they line up to purge every regret.
Though the tension mounts in the microphone,
Listeners can’t wait to sing in order to forget.
People lining up to purge every regret
Are music devotees who pine for confession.
They can’t wait to sing in order to forget,
But it rarely leads to the singer’s redemption.
