Face to Face
ATB & Stanfour Lyrics

Feels like we’re floating up a stream
It seems like we're moving forward in time without direction or purpose

Looking at a screen
We're staring at a digital device, disconnected from the world around us

It’s like we’re going nowhere
We're stuck in a cycle of digital interaction that lacks substance or meaning

I need to see your face
I crave human connection and intimacy that can only be achieved through physical presence

Our photo album plays
We're reminiscing about past moments that are now inadequate substitutes for genuine connection

Your eyes are like a maze that
Your gaze is captivating and enchanting

Takes me down into cloudy deep blue skies
It brings me to a dreamlike state of boundless possibilities and wonder

I don’t wanna wait until tonight
I can't bear to postpone my desire to see you any longer

I’m lost without you
I feel incomplete and aimless without your presence

I don’t wanna stay up late tonight
I don't want to be alone with thoughts of you, yearning for contact

Just thinking about you
My mind is consumed with thoughts of you, and I can't think of anything else

Don’t replace
The synthetic and digital cannot replicate the genuine emotions and experiences of physical presence

Face to face
Only through being in each other's physical presence can we truly connect and communicate

Another message reads
Another notification from our digital devices, a shallow and insufficient method of communicating

We might be face to face tonight
Perhaps we can satisfy our craving for connection by finally meeting in person

Feels like we’re talking to machines
Our digital communication feels robotic and impersonal

Touching plastic things
Our physical interaction is reduced to cold, unfeeling plastic devices

A picture can’t replace a face that’s beautiful
No image or digital representation can capture the true beauty and uniqueness of a person's physical presence

A rainy day that shines lost in power lines
Even the beauty of nature is muted by our obsession with technology and digital communication

Connect the wires to our bodies, souls and minds
We're inextricably tied to technology and digital communication, but it fails to capture the true essence of our being

Face to face tonight
Meeting in person is the only way we can truly connect and communicate
