Face Down
♡ The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Lyrics
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 commentary on domestic violence and abuse. The lyrics tell the story of a girl who is in an abusive relationship with a man who pushes her around and makes her cry, but then tells her he loves her. Despite knowing what's happening, the singer is unable to understand why the girl stays in the relationship. The song urges the abuser to question himself and his actions, asking if he feels like a man when he's pushing someone around and if he feels better when she falls to the ground. The chorus repeats the idea that eventually the lies will crumble and the victim will find a new life, even if she has to hit rock bottom first.
The verses also include some imagery that reinforces the theme of consequences. The metaphor of a pebble in the water creating ripples shows how small actions can have big results, and the idea that waiting around forever will cause you to drown suggests that those who are complacent or inactive are also responsible for the harm caused by abuse. The song ends on a note of hope with the repeated refrain of "she said 'I finally had enough,'" implying that the victim is able to break free from the cycle of abuse and start a new life.

His little whispers
"Love me, love me"
That's all I ask for
"Love me, love me"
He battered his tiny fists
To feel something
Wondered what it's like to touch
And feel something
Monster
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here
Looking through the windows
That night he caged her
Bruised and broke her
He struggled closer
Then he stole her
Violate wrists and then her ankles
Silent pain
Then he slowly saw their nightmares
Were his dreams
Monster
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here
Looking through the windows
I will
Hear their voices
I'm a glass child
I am Hannah's regrets
Monster
How should I feel?
Turn the sheets down!
Murder ears with pillow laces
There's bathtubes
Full of glow flies
Bathe in kerosene
Their words tattooed in his veins
Yeeah

[Naruto]
Eu era alguém, que acreditava só no bem
Lutava e buscava o certo como ninguém
Mas veja bem, a verdade é que eu sempre fracassei
E também doeu em mim no dia que eu te deixei
Por anos eu tentei, mas sei que eu falhei
Não pude cumprir tudo aquilo que jurei
E eu sei (eu sei) fui tão longe que cheguei
Ao ponto de ser a dor da pessoa que eu mais amei
(Monster) olha o que eu me tornei
O tipo de pessoa que eu nunca imaginei
O mal que estava escondido alimentei
E agora sinto que esse monstro não dominei
E quem vai entender? (E quem vai entender?)
Se quero pra mim morrer (se quero pra mim morrer)
Eu odeio o que virei, mas me faz sentir tão bem
Pois quando estou nas sombras, sou forte como ninguém
Monster
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here
Looking through the windows
Monster
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here
Looking through the windows
[Kaneki]
Me vejo no espelho, mas não me reconheço
Confesso que até de mim, as vezes eu tenho medo
Nenhum sentimento, (Não!) nem arrependimento (Não!)
Tudo se perdeu como folhas para o vento
Se sobrou algo de mim, no fundo, lá dentro
Luto pra encontrar, mas no fim eu nunca venço
E eu tento, mas é só perda de tempo
Cada dia estou mais frio, perdido nos pensamentos
Monster!
Não preciso de razão
Eu escolhi cair pra dar de cara no chão
No meio da multidão, percebo a solidão
Depois que você foi, aqui virou escuridão
E quem vai entender? (E quem vai entender?)
Se quero pra mim morrer (se quero pra mim morrer)
Tanto faz, não importa mais nada e mais ninguém
Não estou me importando nem comigo também
Monster
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here
Looking through the windows
Monster
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here
Looking through the windows
[Ichigo]
Me sinto quebrado
Caindo em pedaços
Porque eu sei que estou fora e não consigo voltar
Toda minha insanidade eu preciso provar
Não dá, (não dá) eu já deixei me dominar
Uma fera fora da jaula, quem pode controlar?
Sinto que estou mais forte e nem eu posso parar
Você não pode mais me ver, pois tem alguém no meu lugar
Monster
Cheguei a um extremo
Posso até estar morrendo e eu já quero isso mesmo
O errado é tão certo e o certo é tão errado
O mal que me faz bem é o que me deixa alucinado
E quem vai entender? (E quem vai entender?)
Se quero pra mim morrer (se quero pra mim morrer)
Eu odeio o que virei, mas me faz sentir tão bem
Pois quando estou nas sombras, sou forte como ninguém
Monster
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here
Looking through the windows
Monster

Creatures lie here
