Face to Face
Dаft Punk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's going on?
Could this be my understanding
It's not your fault, I was being too demanding
I must admit it's my pride that made me distant
All because I hoped that you'd be someone different

There's not much to know about you
Fear will always make you blind
But the answer is in clear view
It's amazing what you'll find face to face

I turned away 'cause I thought you were the problem
Tried to forget until I hit the bottom
But when I faced you in my blank confusion
I had to see it was just a mere illusion

It really didn't make sense
Just to leave this unresolved
It's not hard to go the distance
When you finally get involved face to face

What's going on?
Could this be my understanding
It's not your fault, I was being too demanding
I must admit it's my pride that made me distant
All because I hoped that you'd be someone different

There's not much to know about you
Fear will always make you blind
But the answer is in clear view
It's amazing what you'll find face to face

I turned away 'cause I thought you were the problem
Tried to forget until I hit the bottom
But when I faced you in my blank confusion
I had to see it was just a mere illusion

It really didn't make sense
Just to leave this unresolved




It's not hard to go the distance
When you finally get involved face to face

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Daft Punk's song Face To Face are about a person who realizes that they were wrong in their thinking and behavior towards someone they cared about. The singer acknowledges that their own pride had made them distant from the other person, and they had hoped for them to be someone different. This led to a misunderstanding between them and caused the singer to turn away from the other person, thinking they were the problem. However, after hitting rock bottom, the singer realizes that it was just an illusion and that the answer to their problems was in clear view when they finally faced the person.


The song is ultimately about the power of face-to-face communication and how it can resolve misunderstandings and bring two people closer. The lyrics also touch upon how fear can make one blind and how it's important to confront your problems instead of leaving them unresolved.


Overall, Face To Face is a beautifully written song that encourages people to be open and honest with each other and always strive to communicate face-to-face.
