Face To Face
Cambriana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wouldn't be here without pain, for sure
50 years on, no one will know
The delicate, humdrum ways of this love
If you can keep up someday
Finally face to face
It's something i'll learn to take
There's still an ocean between us, love
Everything hurts when it's not enough
If you rely on the coldest nights
Look in my head for what's not in sight
Wendy, you're hurt that i came back home
Wouldn't be here without pain, i know
If you can keep up someday
Finally face to face
It's something i'll learn to take
If you can keep up someday
There's still an ocean between us, love
Everything hurts when it's not enough
If you rely on the coldest nights
Look in my head for what's not in sight
The opening line of "Wendy, you're stuck in my game, I know," suggests that the singer is addressing someone who is trapped in a situation where they have little choice. The inclusion of pain is also significant, with the singer acknowledging that this is a difficult situation. The following lines continue to emphasize the challenges of the relationship, stating that even 50 years from now, the love between the two people will still be fragile and mundane.
However, the chorus offers a glimmer of hope. The singer states that if the other person can keep up, they can be "finally face to face." The phrase "keep up" implies that one person may be holding back, possibly due to past pain, and that they need to overcome this hesitation to move forward in the relationship. The repetition of this phrase suggests that it is a long-term process but one that the singer is willing to wait for.
The final verse repeats some of the earlier lines, emphasizing that the distance between the two people is still present, and that the relationship can be painful when it is not enough. However, the singer offers a solution to this pain, suggesting that the other person should "look in my head for what's not in sight." This implies a deeper level of understanding and connection between the two people, where they can offer support even when physically apart.
Overall, "Face to Face" suggests a complicated, challenging relationship where past pain is holding one person back. However, the singer offers hope that if the other person can overcome this pain, they can move forward in the relationship to a deeper, more meaningful connection.
