Confidence for Quiet


Information:
  • A quote from the Corrs biography on the Paradigm Talent Agency web page (no longer available online):
    "Confidence For Quiet was the first song Andrea came up with for the record. 'You always have an anxiety about starting a new album, and it's me looking for excuses and saying 'I'm going to give this up. I've done my time,'' she says. Ironically, it set her off on a rich vien that aw her writing or co-writing seven of the album's dozen songs."
     
  • The song has to do with the fact that after all of the fame, touring, success, etc. the band was not worried about taking a break between In Blue and Borrowed Heaven. The band could be confident and proud of what they had done and that they deserved a break because it was well-earned and would not mean everything was ending. They were ready to leave it all behind for a bit and recharge their batteries.

Lyrics:
What a day, that I've left behind
You forgave, said I've done my time
I've been good, animation rhyme
Sisterhood, can I find that line

Not anymore, I don't feel it
I'm not hopeless, tragic
No, nothing no more to say
I've got freedom, no more calling

I don't care
I'll walk away
'Cause I've got confidence for quiet
I'm not afraid

I'm not hungry, No I'm over fed
Satisfied, with the life I've led
Moving on, to where you can't see
What is me
Well it's just for me

Mine end of the line
You don't hear it crashing silent
You're all gone left me behind
Is this freedom no one's calling

I don't care, I'll walk away
'Cause I've got confidence for quiet
I'm not afraid

No, nothing no more to say
Is this freedom, no one calling

I don't care, I'll walk away
'Cause I've got confidence for quiet
I'm not afraid
I don't care
I'll walk away
'Cause I've got confidence for quiet
I'm not afraid
I've got confidence
I'm not afraid
