Faces
DJ Flavours Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What do those faces tell you?
(Ray:) Faces, joy and pain
(Chorus)
(Anita:) Faces
All around different faces I see
They express joy and pain
No two faces are the same.
(Ray:) People, people all over town
Some of them are poor and others wear a crown
I've seen alot of many faces
Joy and pain in different places
Open your mind, set yourself free
Figure it out, what will it be?
Sympathise, understand
Give love and peace to the other fellow man
(Anita:) Faces
(Ray:) Faces, joy and pain
(Anita:) Look around you
Do you see those faces
What do those faces tell you
(Anita:) Everywhere I go, different faces I see
Repeat Chorus)
(Ray:) Playing with your life, playing with your soul
You all scream out "I'm the one in control"
Killing of the colours, silly stupid games
You know who you are without no names
Don't mess the world 'cause that the sequal
Open your mind cause we talking about the people
In the world, all kind of places
Different races, different faces
(Anita:) Different faces, everywhere
The song "Faces" by DJ Flavours talks about the different types of faces that one sees in their life. The female vocalist, Anita, invites listeners to look around them and observe the different types of expressions that people have on their faces. Ray, the male vocalist, emphasizes that amongst the various faces, one can see both joy and pain. The chorus of the song emphasizes that no two faces are same and they express different levels of joy and pain.
The song talks about people from all walks of life and how they express different emotions, even if they are in the same place. Ray highlights that some people are rich while others are poor, but they all express different emotions on their faces. He also calls out to everyone to open their minds and understand each other's emotions, and to offer love and peace to everyone.
In the bridge of the song, the vocalists talk about the 'silly games' that people play with their lives and souls. They also emphasize that one shouldn't mess with the world and instead open their minds to 'talking about the people', regardless of their races, places or different types of faces. Overall, the song seems to be a call for unity and empathy amongst people, irrespective of their differences.
