My Face
Unrecognized Emotions: Rat Public's "My Face" Explores Loneliness and Recognition
Lyrics
When you're lonely
Expressing a state of loneliness.
And you're feeling down
Describing a feeling of sadness or depression.
When you need silence
Expressing a desire for quiet and solitude.
And there's noise around
Highlighting the contrast between the need for silence and the presence of noise.
Will you remember
Prompting a question about memory and recognition.
Will you see my eyes
Asking if the other person will see and understand the speaker's emotions through their eyes.
I don't think you'd
Suggesting doubt about the likelihood of recognition.
Even Recognise
Emphasizing the uncertainty of being acknowledged.
My face my face, my face my face
Repetition for emphasis on the importance of recognizing the speaker's face.
My face my face, my face my face
-My face my face, my face my face
-My face my face, my face my face
-When the years go
Reflection on the passing of time.
Well they go so quick
Commenting on the swiftness of years passing by.
When the tears flow
Expressing emotional pain through tears.
And I feel so sick
Describing a feeling of physical and emotional discomfort.
Will you remember
Posing a question about remembering either the truth or lies.
The truth or the lies
Highlighting the dichotomy between truth and deception.
How could you not
Expressing disbelief at the possibility of not recognizing.
Even recognise
Reiterating the challenge of being acknowledged.
My face my face, my face my face
Repetition emphasizing the plea for recognition of the speaker's face.
My face my face, my face my face
-My face my face, my face my face
-My face my face, my face my face
-My face my face, my face my face
-My face my face, my face my face
-My face my face, my face my face
-My face my face, my face my face
