Making Faces
Dream Ivory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Talk all the words that you said you need to say
Well, those were all the signs that told me to walk away
Talk in your sleep,
Tell your secrets to me, and I'll promise to keep them safe
I'm reaching out to answers,
Hope they're coming to me so I'll carry it out this way
Let me take you all the way to town
Keep in mind I'll never let you down
Always stuck, let's focus on the now
I'm staying glad to always
Have your love around
Making faces late with you
The way you always do the things you do
Staying up late 'til we see the sun
But we don't regret a thing
It's the feeling that you get when you
Close your eyes and can't tell if you're asleep
Talk all the words that you said you need to say
Well, those were all the signs that told me to walk away
Talk in your sleep,
Tell your secrets to me, and I'll promise to keep them safe




I'm reaching out to answers,
Hope they're coming to me so I'll carry it out this way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dream Ivory's song "Making Faces" seem to be about a relationship that is in a state of flux. The singer seems to be evaluating whether or not they should continue with the relationship, based on the things that have been said and the signals they have received, both consciously and unconsciously. The lines "Talk all the words that you said you need to say/Well, those were all the signs that told me to walk away" indicate that the singer has heard enough from their partner to know that something may be amiss. However, the singer is still hopeful for answers that will allow them to continue on with the relationship.


The second half of the song seems to indicate that the singer and their partner are in a moment of closeness, enjoying each other's company and the freedom of the night. They stay up late and "make faces" - an activity that is playful and intimate - and they don't regret a thing. Despite the earlier doubts, the singer appreciates the love and connection they have with their partner in this moment.


Overall, the song explores the uncertainty and complexity that can arise in a relationship, while also celebrating the moments of joy and intimacy that keep it going.
