![]() No Confidence Man - reminds me of a confidence man, a con man, a man who can talk you into anything, who can trick you into things, make you believe that black is white. Here's what I have to add to what's already been said: I agree that this song is mostly about abuse. The lyrics are impressionistic typical of Elliott's writing, and sometimes the words are just there because of their feeling or connotation. Maybe someone's around who isn't supposed to be and asleep? Maybe the line is just super cool and feels right for the song. The "won't wake up no more" always felt druggy to me but I don't know what it means. The lyrics are impressionistic typical of Elliott's writing, and sometimes the words are just there because of their feeling or connotation.īecause I got to split, I'm late to leave: Elliott taking off to get away from the abuse. Someone who is just always fucking there, always on you an oppressive presence, maybe with drugs involved, but i think it more likely has to do with alcohol in Charlie's case.īecause I got to split, I'm late to leave: Elliott taking off to get away from the abuse. Then an imposing figure in the household who is "on it all the time". But it's probably Elliott talking to Charlie right?

The point is that it feels abusive, alienating, disconnected, mean, etc. Remember that it's a song so it's more written for how it makes the listener feel and relate than communicating documentation of exact events (of which the listener probably has no idea). This sort of "fuck off" language "Don't try to tell me your bullshit scheme/ I have no idea what you mean/ I'm just trying to sleep" could be said from anyone to any other person in the narrative: him listening to his Charlie's bullshit, or Charlie talking to him or his mother. I don't really see why he'd use a condom during abuse of Elliott? A loop is a cycle, something happening over and over, probably related to abuse. I kind of thought the rubber loop was represented his mother in his stepfather's hands, Charlie in control of her. * Our Collingwood shop has large selection of vinyl with over 1,000 titles to choose from.He's talking about his stepfather's abuse of his mother and him, and his eventual exit to from Texas to Portland. ![]() Since then, they’ve teased us with the occasional dance-floor snack, but with their sophomore album ‘Tilt' they are finally serving us the main meal. Welcome to the ‘Tilt' era.Confidence Man’s debut, 'Confident Music For Confident People', was one of the joys of 2018, laced with savage lyrics and rapturous melodies a north star of euphoria in an increasingly joyless world. Not even a global pandemic could stop Janet, Sugar, Reggie and Clarence from producing an album so fierce, flirty and full of anthems that you might need to sit down before you hit play. They are unstoppable, unquenchable, undeniable, and if you get in their way, you’re gonna get hurt. In this world, nothing is certain except taxes, death and Confidence Man.
