Face to Face
Daft Punk愀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
(Repeat above)
The lyrics to Daft Punk's "Face to Face" tell a story of a realization that the distance between two people in a relationship is not entirely one-sided. The singer recognizes their own pride as the source of the distance, rather than blaming their partner for not meeting their expectations. The problem is then resolved through face-to-face communication, which is emphasized through the repetition of the phrase "face to face."
The lyrics also touch on the idea of fear as a factor in miscommunication and distance. The line "fear will always make you blind" suggests that fear can cloud judgment and prevent people from seeing the truth. However, the singer eventually overcomes this fear and confronts their partner directly, leading to a resolution.
Overall, the song's message is one of personal growth and the importance of communication in relationships. By admitting fault and confronting their partner, the singer is able to bridge the gap between them and move towards a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.
