Face To Face
ATB feat. Stanfour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking at a screen
It's like we're going nowhere
I need to see your face
Our photo album plays
Your eyes are like a maze that
Takes me down into cloudy deep blue skies
Deep blue skies
I don't wanna wait until tonight
I'm lost without you
I don't wanna stay up late tonight
Just thinking about you
Don't replace
Face to face
Another message reads
We might be face to face tonight
It feels like we're talking to machines
Touching plastic things
A picture can't replace a face that's beautiful
A rainy day that shines lost in power lines
Connect the wires to our bodies, souls and minds
Souls and minds
I don't wanna wait until tonight
I'm lost without you
I don't wanna stay up late tonight
Just thinking about you
Don't replace
Face to face

We might be face to face tonight
Face to face tonight
Don't replace
Face to face
Another message reads
We might be face to face tonight
I don't wanna wait until tonight
Face to face tonight
I don't wanna stay up late tonight
Just thinking about you
Don't replace
Face to face

We might be face to face tonight
The song "Face to Face" by ATB feat. Stanfour speaks to the disconnect and longing caused by technology in modern relationships. The opening line creates a dreamy, floaty sensation that suggests the distance between two people as they interact through screens. The lyrics allude to social media and the way it presents a filtered, distorted view of people's lives. The photo album plays, but it cannot replace seeing someone's face in person. The eyes become like a maze that lead down into deep blue skies. This suggests that seeing someone in person is like diving deep into the soul, whereas interacting through a screen is like skimming the surface.
The chorus expresses the desire to be with someone in person instead of simply exchanging messages. The singer doesn't want to wait until tonight and is lost without the other person. There is a sense of urgency and desperation in the repeated phrase "face to face tonight." The second verse reinforces this desire by pointing out that touching plastic things and looking at pictures can't replace the experience of being with someone in real life. The rain and power lines create a visual of beauty and chaos that contrasts with the sterile world of technology. Ultimately, the song emphasizes the importance of human connection and the limitations of digital communication.

I need to see your face
I long for a genuine, meaningful connection

We might be face to face tonight
We may have the opportunity for authentic, personal interaction later
It feels like we’re talking to machines
Our constant reliance on technology disconnects us from human interaction
Touching plastic things
Interacting solely with electronic devices made of plastic
A picture can’t replace a face that’s beautiful
Physical presence and beauty cannot be replicated or replaced by a photograph
A rainy day that shines lost in power lines
The beauty of nature and simplicity is overshadowed by technological infrastructure
Connect the wires to our bodies, souls and minds
We need to reestablish connection on deeper levels with another person and ourselves
Don’t replace
Don't substitute or settle for anything less
Face to face tonight
Opportunity for authentic, personal interaction tonight
