Faces
E.M.M. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

V1
Sitting on the bus
Looking through the window
And I close my eyes
I see the shade of your smiling face
Your smiling face
When you walk in through the door
Smiling face
Like I've never seen before

V2
Standing in the rain
Nearly washed the day away
Then I think of you
I know the sight of your smiling face
Your smiling face
And it's always here with me
Smiling face
Well I wonder could it be

CHORUS
I still know
That I'm never gonna find you
But I do believe
That you're standing right behind
Will I ever get
The answer to my question
Life will go on, on

V3
Lying on my bed
Staring at the ceiling
Then I close my eyes again
The only thing that's clear to me
Is your smiling face
Maybe I should wake again
Smiling face
Maybe I should let it end





CHORUS

Overall Meaning

The song "Faces" by E.M.M. is a wistful and poignant reflection on the idea of a lost love. The first verse finds the singer sitting on a bus, looking out the window, and seeing the smiling face of someone they once loved. Despite being physically apart from this person, their memory lingers on in the singer's mind. The second verse has the singer standing in the rain, but even in this dreary moment, they are comforted by the thought of their lost love's smile. The chorus expresses the singer's longing to be reunited with this person, even though they know deep down that it's unlikely, and that they may never get the answer to their questions about what could have been. The third and final verse finds the singer lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, and once again seeing their lost love's smiling face in their mind's eye. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the song's central theme of hope for a reunion that may never come to pass.


Overall, "Faces" is a bittersweet rumination on love and loss, captured by E.M.M.'s evocative lyrics and simple, plaintive melody.

You know I can tell when an artist performs music they've written themselves. It's in the soul in their voice or the lack of it.
You are so genuine, I love you because I love me
And
Love is feeling equal.
