Your Face
Aerial East Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your face
I think I see it everywhere
I hate your face
You're taking it away from me
My fears, my life
Your face is all that I could see
And now you're gone
And using it against me
You even had to hurt me

I
Can't look at you
Can't think of you
Can't wonder what you do
You
Can't do anything
Now without me
You are now alone like you said you wanted

I don't want any other man
Suffer no I can't
Make me feel anything oh
I don't want any other man
Suffer no I can't
Make me feel anything oh

You
Say you love me still
Why don't you want me still
I hope you know what you're doing because
Now
I've been with other men
They make me feel again
Even though I know that I don't love them

I don't feel things anymore
I don't feel things anymore
I don't feel things anymore
I don't feel things anymore

Your face
I think I see it everywhere
I hate your face
You're taking it away from me
My fears, my life
Your face is all I could see
And now you're gone




And using it against me
You even had to hurt me

Overall Meaning

The song "Your Face" by Aerial East is an emotionally charged ballad that expresses the inner turmoil and pain of a person who is struggling to come to terms with a failed relationship. The lyrics convey the feeling of hatred for someone who has left an indelible mark on the singer's life. The phrase "Your face, I think I see it everywhere" is a powerful metaphor that suggests the inescapable presence of the person who has caused the singer so much pain. This pervasive presence is linked to feelings of fear and loss, as well as a general sense of helplessness.


Furthermore, the song touches on the idea of emotional blackmail or manipulation, with the lyrics "You even had to hurt me" indicating that the person being addressed has deliberately used the singer's vulnerability against them. However, the singer does eventually find some solace in the form of other partners, although they are unable to replicate the emotional intensity of the past relationship. The song ends on a bittersweet note, with the singer still haunted by the inescapable memory of their ex-partner's face and struggling to feel anything at all.


Overall, "Your Face" is a moving and insightful portrayal of the human experience of love, loss, and emotional turmoil following the end of a meaningful relationship.
