Face to Face
Cannibal Grandpa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deception
Every time I wake up I see the panic in the face of cowards
I don′t give a fuck their pathetic lives
I only know that now I'm alone in this raw empty world

How many times could you said me how to be
Your eyes are closed
How many times could you said me how to be

Your eyes are blind

You are so close
You are so close
I am tired of been waiting for my revenge
Now I look like a fucking bitch in hell

You ate my son
Oh! Go to fucking hell
You will get what you deserve
You will rot you piece of shit

If I had you in my arms I would burn you as a rat
Seeing your body melting, bleeding, breaking, exploding thousand times
You can not imagine how much I would like to see you die, to see you die

Your fault, your fault

God, forgive me for what I will do
There′s no other way to escape from this painful truth

How many times I tried to forgive
My eyes are closed
How many times I tried to forgive
My eyes are closed

I will see you in hell
I will be waiting for you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Face to Face" by Cannibal Grandpa seem to touch on themes of deception, revenge, and forgiveness. The opening lines refer to the singer waking up and seeing the panic in the faces of cowards around them. The singer seems to hold themselves as superior to these people, describing them as pathetic and not worth their attention. The singer then goes on to describe themselves as alone in a raw and empty world, suggesting they are either isolated or disillusioned with the people around them.

The chorus of the song is like an indictment of the person that the singer is addressing. It appears that the person had tried to impose their ideas on the singer and telling them how to be. However, the singer sees through the lies and realizes that this person is blind to the truth. The singer is tired of waiting for revenge and feeling like they're in hell, which suggests that this person has wronged them in some way.

The second verse is more explicit in its description of the wrong that the person has done. The person that the singer is addressing has apparently eaten their son, and the singer wants revenge for what they've done. The singer describes in gruesome detail what they would do to this person if they had them in their arms, suggesting that they want to inflict as much pain as possible. The line "God, forgive me for what I will do" suggests that the singer is aware that what they're feeling is wrong, but they can't help it.

An interesting fact about the song is that Cannibal Grandpa is a deathcore band from Argentina. The song "Face to Face" appears on their 2015 album "Feed Your Food". The band's name is a reference to the infamous cannibalistic serial killer, Albert Fish. The lyrics of the song are highly graphic and describe violent acts of revenge. The song has been compared to the movie "The Hills Have Eyes". The band has been criticized for their violent content, with some people calling for a ban on their music. However, the band has defended themselves, saying that they're only expressing their art and that it's up to the listeners to interpret it as they see fit.
