All That Fades

Confessions (feat. Hayley Williams)

A quiet, intimate pop ballad about starting over in Paris after a heartbreak. Soft piano, warm strings, and a cinematic muted trumpet shape the mood, with a vocal that stays emotional but restrained. It’s about finding beauty in the City of Light… even when you’re not quite ready to feel it.

LYRICS
(C)2025 Ggreg Snyder

[Verse 1]

I came here chasing lovers’ dreams,
A tiny flat on Rue de la Lune.
We swore that Paris would redeem
The doubts we carried in the air.
But one year in, the fights got loud,
His suitcase packed before I knew.
He walked away without a sound,
And left me here with nothing new.

[Pre-Chorus]

The river glows at twilight’s bend,
The bridges shine like candlelight.
It’s beautiful—just needs a friend
To make the shadows feel less night.

[Chorus]

There’s art that breathes in every street,
There’s music drifting soft and slight,
There’s lovers kissing where they meet…
But I feel darkness in the City of Light.

[Verse 2]

My tongue got tangled every day,
Their words all falling quick and thin.
The cafés laughed at how I’d say
The simplest phrases going in.
At first I hated all the food—
The fancy myths we glamorize.
But now I’ve learned what locals choose,
And taste the truth behind the lies.

[Pre-Chorus]

This place is stunning—every stone,
Each corner humming something bright.
But beauty hits me harder, alone,
When no one shares the view at night.

[Chorus]

There’s art that breathes in every street,
There’s music drifting soft and slight,
There’s lovers kissing where they meet…
But I feel darkness in the City of Light.

[Instrumental Solo]
 
[Bridge]

My French is better—still not great,
But I can order wine with ease.
Found tiny bars where locals wait,
No famous names, but they appease.
I’m not quite healed, but night by night
I’m learning how to stand upright.

[Chorus]

There’s art that breathes in every street,
There’s music drifting soft and slight,
There’s lovers kissing where they meet…
But I feel darkness in the City of Light.
