Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One look puts the rhythm in my hand
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.
Cover up with make up in the mirror
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you.
Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wait around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down.
I see the way you go and say you're right again,
Say you're right again,
Heed my lecture.
Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
Face down in the dirt
She said "This doesn't hurt!"
She said "I finally had enough!"
Face down in the dirt
She said "This doesn't hurt!"
She said "I finally had enough!"
One day she will tell you that she has had enough
It's coming round again
Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
Face down in the dirt
She said "This doesn't hurt!"
She said "I finally had enough!"
The song "Face Down" by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is a powerful anti-domestic violence anthem that advocates for victims of abuse to take control of their situation and leave their abuser. The lyrics describe a situation in which the singer witnesses a woman being abused by her partner, and encourages her to leave him and start a new life. The chorus repeatedly asks the abuser whether he feels like a man for pushing his partner around, and reminds him that one day his lies will catch up with him.
The verses paint a picture of the victim's experience, describing how she covers up the bruises with makeup and tries to convince herself that it won't happen again. The repeated phrase "face down in the dirt" represents the moment where the victim finally stands up to her abuser and refuses to be a victim anymore.
The song's message is clear and powerful, advocating for victims of abuse to take control of their lives and leave their abusive partners. The lyrics emphasize the importance of seeking help and support in leaving an abusive relationship, and offer hope that a new life is possible.
