About False Confidence

“False Confidence“ is a song about believing in yourself but also not taking yourself too seriously in the process,” Kahan tells Billboard in an emailed statement. Noah Kahan satirizes the over-styling of male musicians in the modern age in a cheeky video. The fun visual follows Kahan as he shifts through several outfit changes, performing at an open mic night at the same bar every week. Desperately trying to fit the ideal image of a mainstream music artist .

False Confidence Lyrics

[00:08.00] Don't take yourself so seriously
[00:15.33]
[00:19.29] Look at you, all dressed up for someone you never see
[00:28.14]
[00:32.76] You're here for a reason but you don't know why
[00:38.26] You're split and uneven, your hands to the sky
[00:43.74] Surrender yourself
[00:48.41] And I wonder why I tear myself down to be built back up again
[00:54.37] Oh, I hope somehow, I'll wake up young again
[00:58.41] All that's left of myself, holes in my false confidence
[01:03.02] And now I lay myself down and hope I wake up young again
[01:07.05] Hoo, ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh
[01:12.04] Hoo, ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh-ooh (hope I wake up young again)
[01:16.41] Don't let those demons in again (hm)
[01:23.85] I fill the void up with polished doubt, fake sentiment (mm-mm)
[01:33.48] Surrender yourself
[01:36.63] And I wonder why I tear myself down to be built back up again
[01:42.26] Oh, I hope somehow, I'll wake up young again
[01:46.25] All that's left of myself, holes in my false confidence
[01:50.99] And now I lay myself down and hope I wake up young again
[01:54.82] Hoo, ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh
[01:59.76] Hoo, ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh-ooh (hope I wake up young again)
[02:03.97] Hoo, ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh
[02:08.96] Hoo, ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh-ooh (hope I wake up young again)
[02:13.26] Why won't you take me seriously?
[02:17.89]
[02:20.70] Look at me, all - up over someone I'll never meet
[02:26.31]
[02:31.37] And I wonder why I tear myself down to be built back up again
[02:37.23] Oh, I hope somehow, I'll wake up young again
[02:41.30] All that's left of myself, holes in my false confidence
[02:46.07] And now I lay myself down and hope I wake
[02:49.75] I wonder why (oh) I tear myself down to be built back up again
[02:54.82] Oh, I hope some how I wake up young again
[02:58.90] All that's left of myself, holes in my false confidence
[03:03.65] And now I lay myself down and hope I wake up young again
[03:07.71] Hoo, ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh
[03:13.07] Hoo, ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh-ooh (hope I wake up young again)
[03:16.31] Hoo, ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh
[03:21.47] Hoo, ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh-ooh (hope I wake up young again)
[03:25.33]
