Confetti Lyrics – Ken Carson

Confetti Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
Ken’s saying he’s living a good life now—eating fancy food like shrimp and steak, a big step up from where he started. He’s celebrating his success and wondering why no one’s throwing confetti for him, like he deserves a celebration for making it out of the hood. He remembers the struggle, like smoking cheap cigars and wearing hand-me-downs from his sister. Even though things weren’t always easy or perfect, he believes people get what they earn. Now someone who once didn’t want him is suddenly acting like she needs him, but he didn’t mean to hurt her back then.

[Verse]
Here, Ken’s bouncing between confidence, relationships, and how far he’s come. He talks about a girl who’s new to certain experiences and feeling nervous, but he’s offering support, saying she can call him anytime. He’s making it clear he doesn’t repeat himself—once he says something, he expects you to catch on. He’s loyal and grounded, symbolized by dropping his Chrome Hearts to the floor. Then he brags a bit about his gang, where everyone’s iced out, meaning they’re all wearing flashy jewelry, so you can’t even tell who’s in charge.

He’s not stressing over women because there’s always plenty around, but he’s a little confused why one girl is acting dramatic with him when he just wants to focus on making money. He says he can take care of her and even boost her lifestyle. She’s special, rare like a unicorn, and when they go out, people are shocked by her looks and wonder where he found her. Then he flips to saying that not everyone can keep up with him, not even in relationships—almost like comparing it to a game where some don’t make it to the next level.

They’re staying up all night, maybe partying or just enjoying each other’s company. If he really likes someone, there’s no limit to what he’ll do—he’ll even buy them anything. Even though they’re far apart, he misses her and thinks about her all the time. Seeing two people kiss reminds him of her and messes with his head because he can’t stop thinking about her. Then he switches to calling out fake people, saying someone lied, and he’s not in the mood for that kind of drama.

He used to dream big even as a kid, folding paper planes and imagining taking off. Now he’s actually living that life. He wants the girl to fly out and be with him. He says he’s loyal and they don’t fight, and she’s someone he can talk to and rely on. They should take a trip to Costa Rica together, but for now, he’s just waiting patiently for the right moment. He’s always ready to make a move and stands by his people. His girl even matches his style, and he’s got all the tools, like a modern-day Batman. He once thought someone else was doing well, but it turns out their good run is over. He respects women who are organized and goal-driven. Finally, he makes it clear that he’s operating on a level most people won’t understand. He used to have barely enough food, and now he’s got more than he can eat. Everything he does is extra, stylish, and over-the-top, and he’s proud of it.

[Chorus]
He’s circling back to the same message—he’s made it. From eating basic food and wearing hand-me-downs to now enjoying the good life. He’s still kind of in shock that no one’s throwing confetti to celebrate his glow-up. He’s reminding everyone that success wasn’t handed to him; he had to earn it. And now that he’s doing well, people from the past, like an old flame, are trying to come back into his life like it’s urgent. But if he ever hurt her before, it wasn’t on purpose—it’s just how things went down.
