What A Concept
a song about religious trauma and self doubt
Verse 1:
Lately I've been hearing about this thing that they call intuition
It's a feeling that you get that helps you make your own decisions
I was always wrong
or so I was told
"Watch your regrets slowly unfold"
And maybe that's why
Pre-Chorus:
I could be an athiest and still believe in the Holy Ghost
I could not believe in anything and think the Devil's got me in a chokehold
I could say "nothing matters at all, there is no afterlife"
and I'd still be up at night, wondering if I'm doing it right
Chorus:
What a concept to trust yourself
What a concept to not need anyone else
What a concept to trust yourself
What a concept to not need anyone else, no
Bridge:
It's not God, it's not the Devil,
It's my own mind trying to level with me
and make it all make sense
but nothing really makes sense
I keep hearing people say
that I've lost my way
but maybe I finally found it
Oh what a concept
Chorus:
What a concept to trust yourself
What a concept to not need anyone else
What a concept to trust yourself
What a concept to not need anyone else, no

Very well written, congrats 👏
Congratulations on your top story.
Kat, this is hauntingly beautiful—like a confession whispered in the dark that somehow echoes for all of us who’ve questioned everything we were raised to believe. The way you navigate religious trauma, spiritual confusion, and the longing for self-trust in just a few verses is so raw and powerful. Lines like “I could be an atheist and still believe in the Holy Ghost” and “maybe I finally found it” hit especially hard. You capture that liminal space between belief and doubt, faith and fear—where so many of us live when we’re deconstructing and rebuilding what we thought was absolute truth. Thank you for turning that struggle into something poetic and relatable. This isn’t just a song—it’s an anthem for the spiritually disoriented and emotionally brave.
Memorable chorus. Love it

Nice one dear, congratulations 👏🏼
These lyrics are just phenomenal! When I had my own spiritual deconstruction, it felt like everything was strange and scary and falling apart, but that concept of trusting myself was what saved me. Amazing!
As a lapsed Episcopalian, really feeling these lyrics. Great job!
