Face Down
Dreams Unveiled: Jawbreaker's Haunting Tale in 'Face Down'
Lyrics
Beneath the door I see a light.
Beneath the door, there's visible light.
It's four A.M. in apartment three.
It's 4 AM in apartment number three.
Muted sounds. A sealed room.
There are indistinct noises within a closed-off space.
I turn the knob. The door is gone.
Upon trying to open the door, it disappears.
Yellow light. Kitchen floor.
There's a yellow light illuminating the kitchen floor.
An old woman is at the cutting board.
An elderly woman is standing at the cutting board.
Just her back. Her old bent back.
Only her back is visible, which is hunched due to old age.
Short, abrupt chopping jerks.
She chops abruptly and with short movements.
How do you like that?
Questioning how one feels about the situation.
I died in my sleep. Face down.
The narrator experienced death while sleeping face down.
Just a little dream I had. Face down.
Describing a dream of dying face down.
It was more than real. Face down.
The dream felt exceptionally realistic.
Just a little dream I had.
Reiterating the occurrence of the dream.
She turns around. Smiles up at.
The woman turns around and smiles at someone.
Knife out. Head shakes.
She gestures with a knife and shakes her head.
Laughing teeth into me.
Imagery of biting into or attacking someone with laughter.
Silver gleam and out.
A description of a shining object being withdrawn.
Face down.
Repeated reference to being face down, possibly relating to the dream or death.
Just a little dream I had. Face down.
Reiteration of the dream of dying face down.
It was more than real. Face down.
Similar repetition emphasizing the vividness of the dream.
Just a little dream I had.
Reaffirmation of the occurrence of the dream.
