Red Face
Lucy Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What the people may say
Cause it's just the sun
Rising again
So i'll take a trip
To the back of my mind
See what is there
What will i find
Cause you've got trouble searching for you
And you said: "everything will be the same"
Look here, everything is gonna change
And you said: "it's what i needed"
I don't believe it
I don't care
What the people may say
Cause it's just the sun
Rising again
So i'll take a trip
To the back of my mind
See what is there
What will i find
Cause you've got trouble searching for you
And you said: "everything will be the same"
Look here, everything is gonna change
And you said: "it's what i needed"
I don't believe it
Take what you wanted
Leave what you didn't need
The lyrics to Lucy Rose's "Red Face" speak to the idea of self-discovery and finding inner peace, despite what others around you may think or say. The opening lines indicate a sense of resilience and determination, as the singer declares that they do not care what others may say. Rather, they understand that life is cyclical, and even though there may be tough times, the sun will still rise again.
The following lines explore the idea of taking a journey "to the back of my mind" as a way of self-discovery. The singer is motivated to see what they can uncover within themselves. There is a poignant moment where the singer acknowledges that sometimes, it can be challenging to find oneself. However, they are unswayed by this challenge, and they believe that through self-exploration, they may ultimately find what they are searching for.
The part of the lyrics that repeats give weight to the idea that everything is going to change, conveying that no matter what, the only constant in life is change. The final lines, "Take what you wanted, leave what you didn't need," further elaborate on this idea of rediscovering oneself. In the end, the singer has the power to determine what they take away from their journey and what they leave behind. It's a powerful message about the importance of self-reflection and growth.

I don't care
I am indifferent
What the people may say
To opinions of others
Cause it's just the sun
Because it is like a sunrise
Rising again
Starting anew
So i'll take a trip
I will visit
To the back of my mind
To my unconsciousness
See what is there
Discover what's within
What will i find
What I may uncover
Cause you've got trouble searching for you
You are having difficulties finding yourself
And you said: "everything will be the same"
You claimed that things will remain unchanged
Look here, everything is gonna change
But now it's evident that alterations will occur
And you said: "it's what i needed"
You declared that this is what you desired
I don't believe it
But I disagree
Take what you wanted
Keep that which you desired
Leave what you didn't need
Leave behind what was not valuable

I don't care
What the people may say
Point out my flaws
I already know
So I'll drive away
Back to the heart
Of where I grew up
Back to the start
Cause you've got trouble searching for you
And you said: "Everything will be the same"
Look here, everything is gonna change
And you said: "It's what I needed"
I don't believe it
Take what you wanted

I love music and can't believe that I have only just discovered Lucy in the last week, she is extremely talented and definitely needs more publicity as she could be big with this kind of talent.

Sometimes I feel like I can hear a mellowed out version of Paramore in her music ...1:59 reminds me of “that’s what you get when you let your heart win”. Love them both.
I love her lastest music too, but this is the era of her work that I grew up with ❤
@miketv101
Once I get a job I totally have to order her cd off her site, her music is just so amazing.
@Z0biLaM0uche
She's such a great musician! Powerful in that delicate enveloppe.
@nosay2930
I've just bought the album having not really heard much of her stuff before. Flippin gobsmacked! What a breath of air!
@rollerfreak1331
For the last three weeks I've been listening to Lucy Rose. You are amazing Lucy
@greatness1993
Great song from one of the greatest albums I've ever purchased! Keep up the great work Lucy! Hope to see you live in the U.S. someday soon!
@nuthinbutnikk17
Been enjoying her music for well over 8 years now :')
Still remember discovering through last.fm from their "similar artist" feature of Bombay Bicycle Club. Felt in love since then. Went through ups and downs of life with the music too.
Really hope that I can see live performance in the future.
@Emily-cf6ws
All of her songs are so well put together. So talented !
