Face to Face
A-dAY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fell down and kissed the ground
Banged my teeth on a doorknob
Maybe that's why it hurts so bad
Cause my face hurts!
As I lay on the bed
I put an icepack on my head
I see my dreams coming to an end
Cause my face hurts!
As I'm walking down the street
I start tripping in my sleep
I start falling down the stairs
And I pulled out all my hairs
Cause my face hurts!
Why does it hurt so bad?
Why does it hurt so bad?
Why does it hurt so bad?
Why does it hurt so bad?
So bad!
The lyrics to "Face to Face" by A-DAY depict a relationship where one person is receiving pain from the other, who constantly lies and manipulates them. The singer acknowledges their own role in this dynamic by stating they "would take them true," indicating a willingness to believe the lies and perpetuate the toxic cycle. The other person is portrayed as self-existing, resistant to change or listening, and unwilling to take responsibility for their actions.
The imagery in the song is potent, with the singer describing themselves as the "ground and the dirt, face of the earth" that the other person walks on all day. This suggests a deep sense of worthlessness and devaluation, as if the singer is viewed as nothing more than something to be used and discarded. The line "listen to god and tell me what he said" could be interpreted as a plea for the other person to seek guidance and change their behavior, or as a resigned acceptance that nothing will change no matter what they do. Overall, the song seems to grapple with themes of power dynamics, manipulation, and the destructive effects of abusive relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm the one receiving the pain from you
I am the target of your hurtful actions and words
You would make these lies, I would take them true
You are prone to deceiving me, and I believe your falsehoods
You're self existing, No change of listening
You are stubbornly independent and refuse to listen to others' advice
Close your eyes I will help you pray, Listen to god and tell me what he said
I am willing to assist you in praying, and I want you to share any divine guidance with me
Break me down so shove me in a shoe, You put it on and walk on me all day, It wouldn't surprise, It's something you would do
You take pleasure in belittling me and using me for your own benefit, and it wouldn't shock me because it's typical of you
I am the ground and the dirt, Face of the earth,Walk on me
I am symbolic of the earth's surface, the very foundation of our existence, and you walk all over me without a second thought
Face of the earth
Repeated as a refrain to emphasize the importance of the singer's role as the ground/dirt
