Faceless
Camisado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the time that you're spending
When every day that you live
Your world is closer to ending
Oh, I can't escape who I am
With my humans insides
An artificial man
I want to live this way
I want to live this way
For the rest of my days
I want to live this way
For the rest of my days
I know I've done some wrong
But I don't care what you say
I want to live this way
I don't care what you say
I have it in me to say
I know I've changed, I know I've changed
For better or for worse
I know I've changed
Don't be deceived the fake you see
Is still the face in me
I'll always embrace
Who I pretend to be
I am who I am when I fall
You are who you are when you've lost it all
I am who I am when I've taken
The sky and more
You say you found God
How do you know that's its not
Just another fucking addiction
Believe what you want
But above everything else
Believe in yourself
I will sit at my throne
Pick the flesh from my bones
Nobody will know
If I die before I wake
Then I will take the devil's place
If I die before I wake
I'll take the fucking devil's place
I am the devil with the wings of an angel
I am the devil
The lyrics of Camisado's song "Faceless" explore issues of identity and authenticity. The first stanza speaks to the difficulty of valuing time in a world that is constantly moving closer to its own end. The singer acknowledges that they cannot escape who they are and that they are an artificial man with human insides. The next stanza is a declaration of the singer's desire to live their life in the way that they have chosen, regardless of any wrong that they may have done or criticism from others.
The third stanza shifts to a more introspective tone, as the singer acknowledges that they have changed and that the "fake" version of themselves that they present to the world is still a part of who they are. In the fourth stanza, the singer asserts their autonomy and self-determination, stating that they are who they are when they fall or take risks. The following stanza challenges the notion of religion and the reliance on faith in external sources rather than belief in oneself. The final stanza is a dark depiction of the singer's acceptance of their own devilish nature and their willingness to take the devil's place if they were to die.
Overall, the song speaks to the complex nature of identity and the struggle to find meaning in a world that often feels out of control.
