Faces
Catherine Moan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To find what I'm looking for
And all it takes to forget is a shock to the core Who will remember my face when I am no more
And oh how they slip away
From talking every day to not at all
And oh how easy it is to forget a face And it seems I misplaced your name
Night of endless swiping
Names I'll eventually forget
Attached to people i've never met
Wasted time and wasting breaths
Faking moans and boring sex
Up all night regretting words
Spoken to get into bed
I'm done looking for trust
I cant handle it anymore
And it all takes to move on is an eyesore From lit up screens in my dreams
Of which im bored
And oh how they slip away
From talking every day to not at all
And oh how easy it is to forget a face And it seems I misplaced your name
The lyrics of Catherine Moan's song "Faces" seem to poetically express the fleeting nature of connections we make with people. The singer expresses a sense of being detached and disillusioned with the world around her as she searches for something or someone that she is unsure of. She reflects on how it is easy to forget people's faces and names, and how even close relationships can become distant with time. The sense of detachment and isolation is further emphasized when she talks about the night of "endless swiping" where she is unable to form a genuine connection with anyone. The lyrics also talk about sex and how it can be meaningless without trust and emotional proximity. The singer seems to be tired of the search for meaning and connection and just wants to move on with life.
The song provides an insight into the millennial generation's struggles with forming long-lasting and meaningful connections. It highlights the difficulties they face in a world where social media and online dating have made it easy to connect with people, but hard to form genuine friendships and romantic relationships. The lyrics of the song are quite relatable, as most people have experienced the fleeting nature of connections in their lives.
