Face Again
Navigating Shadows: Unveiling the Deep Meaning of 'Face Again'
Lyrics
Go in daylight, they don't have to hide truth
Emphasizes the openness in the daylight, contrasting with hiding the truth.
And you know this before I have told you
Acknowledges prior knowledge or intuition before explicit communication.
And when they pass by they don't ask for nothing
Describes a lack of demands when passing by, possibly highlighting indifference.
You say your skin breaks like glass when they touch it
Expresses vulnerability, suggesting fragility when touched.
No, there's no way in
Reinforces the idea of no access or entry.
There's no way in
-There's no way
-No, we weren't meant to hunger in the night
Rejects the notion of nighttime suffering, questions what is morally right, and anticipates a bleak future.
No, we weren't made to wonder about what is right
-Put their hand in your mouth, they'll hate you when you bite
-I look into the future and see just so little light
-Look me in my face again and tell me what you wanna see
Challenges someone to confront the truth, questioning their understanding of what's best.
I don't think you know what's best for me
-No, I don't think you know what's best for me
-Just kiss me on my face again
Requests physical affirmation and questions the understanding of love and self.
And tell me what love's supposed to be
-No, I don't think you know what's best for me
-No, I don't even know what's best for me
-Yeah, your pain, baby, ain't got shit to buy you
Dismisses the value of material possessions in easing emotional pain, and comments on human limitations.
And so if they could, they'd leave us out to die, too
-And when they pass by they don't ask for nothing
-And with brittle bones we weren't meant to fly, boo
-No, there's no way in
Reiterates the impossibility of entry or access.
There's no way in
-There's no way
-No, we weren't meant to hunger in the night
Echoes the rejection of nighttime suffering, emphasizing the consequences of resistance.
No, we weren't' made to wonder about what is right
-Put their hand in your mouth, they'll hate you when you bite
-I look into the future and see just so little light
-You know I want an answer, but I don't got the question
Expresses a desire for answers and change in challenging situations, questioning the nature of blessings.
You know I want a change for more
-When all comes against us it's supposed to be a blessing
-No, it's not a change for more
-You know I want an answer, but I don't got the question
Repeats the desire for answers and change, reflecting uncertainty.
You know I want a change for more
-Look me in my face again and tell me what I ought to be
Requests guidance in self-perception and the future, acknowledging personal uncertainty.
I really think you know what's best for me
-Yeah, I know you know what's best for me
-Just take me in your arms and tell me in the future we'll be home & free
-'cause I don't even know what's best for me
-Yeah, I don't even know what's best for me
Highlights the speaker's lack of self-awareness and uncertainty about their own best interests.
