Face the Music
Conjure One Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel it pulling you in
It gets under your skin
And do just sink in
When the past is an anchor
It's just holding you back
When you can walk away
Something makes you stay, makes you stay
What makes you turn around and do it all again?
Your highs and lows they are but one in the same
There is no difference in your pleasure and your pain
It's time to face the music
You can see what you can be
Let go of what you have been
See the world through a different set of eyes
If you can face the future
It sets you free from the past
Turn around, turn around
You can move on, move on
What makes you turn around and do it all again?
Your highs and lows they are both one in the same
There is no difference in your pleasure and your pain
It's time to face the music
It's time to face the music [Repeat x2]
What makes you turn around and do it all again?
Your highs and lows they are both one in the same
There is no difference in your pleasure and your pain
It's time to face the music [Repeat x2]
If you can face the future
It sets you free from the past
Turn around, turn around
You can move on, move on
The lyrics in Conjure One's "Face the Music" express a common human struggle with facing difficult situations, particularly when the past feels like it's holding you back. The metaphor of gravity pulling you in without control is used to describe the inability to move on from past experiences that continue to weigh one down. Even though one may be able to physically walk away from a situation, there is an emotional attachment that prevents them from doing so. Instead, they find themselves stuck in a continuous cycle of repeating the same mistakes.
The chorus of the song features a call to action, urging the listener to recognize that their pleasure and pain are intertwined, and to face the music of their actions. Only then can they see what they are capable of becoming and move towards a freer future, unburdened by the past.
Overall, the lyrics suggest that it's time to confront one's emotional baggage and not let it hold you down. By accepting responsibility for one's actions and learning from past experiences, one can ultimately grow and move forward.
