The song "Fess Up" by Haarper is about being tired of the same routine and constantly feeling lost and aimless. The lyrics express a desire for a painless escape and a search for direction with the help of angels. But at the same time, the song talks about not wanting to be ruled by anyone and having the strength to stand up for oneself. The lyrics also touch on the idea of accountability and owning up to one's mistakes, but not without caution and the fear of falling through the cracks. The chorus repeats the idea of confessing when necessary but also being careful not to slip up. Overall, "Fess Up" speaks to the struggles of balancing self-discovery and independence with responsibility and caution.
