Face Down
Silent Echoes: Unveiling the Dark Tapestry of White Lung's 'Face Down'
Lyrics
Shut my mouth real tight
Expressing a decision to remain silent
There's no proof to find on the earth
Suggesting a lack of evidence or proof on Earth
And the herd squirms
Describing a restless or uneasy crowd
All the worlds pretend
Highlighting the facade of the world
The dim will defend
Indicating that those in the dark (ignorant) will defend
And I'll sink to the belly
Metaphorically descending into vulnerability
Of the weak again
Returning to a state of weakness
Drug the living crowd
Advocating for numbing the living crowd when life is over
When you are dead
Reference to actions after death
Throw my name around
Requesting to use the speaker's name liberally
The dumb won't make a sound
Implying the ignorant won't react when deceased
When you are dead
Reiterating actions after death and emphasizing silence
Ugly dies face down
Asserting that ugliness succumbs in a defeated manner
Don't make a sound
Commanding silence
You don't make a sound
Repeating the call for silence
Don't make a sound
Continuing the emphasis on silence
They will crawl behind
Describing a following that persists despite challenges
Your little waist and you spin despite
Depicting a situation where others revolve around the speaker
I lose my mind
Expressing a sense of losing sanity
All the worlds pretend
Reiterating the artificial nature of the world
One dime to go and
Referring to a small amount remaining before descent
I sink to the belly of the weak again
Returning to a vulnerable state
The dumb won't make a sound
Reiterating the silence of the ignorant after death
When you are dead
Repeating the idea that ugliness surrenders in defeat
Ugly dies face down
Don't make a sound
Repeating the call for silence
You don't make a sound
Emphasizing the need for silence
Don't make a sound
Don't make a sound
Reiterating the command for silence
You don't make a sound
Emphasizing the silence in the face of death
And die face down
Concluding with the idea of dying facing down in defeat
You say it's vile
Acknowledging the perceived repulsiveness
You say it's vile
Repeating the assertion of vileness
You say it's vile
Reiterating the statement about vileness and confirming its accuracy
And you're right
Agreeing with the assessment of vileness
