can't feel my face
Ember Island Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She told me you'll never be in love

I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, baby

And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb
And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
All the misery was necessary when we're deep in love
This I know, this I know

She told me, don't worry about it
She told me, don't worry no more
We both know we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be in love

I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, baby
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, baby

She told me, don't worry about it
She told me, don't worry no more
We both know we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be in love

I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, baby

I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ember Island's cover of The Weeknd's "Can't Feel My Face" tell a story of a toxic relationship where the main character, presumably the singer, is hopelessly in love with someone who may not have their best interests at heart. The opening lines, "And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb," indicate that the singer is aware of the destructive nature of the relationship but has resigned to the fact that it's better to be numb than feel the pain of heartbreak. The lyrics continue to describe the pull and push of the relationship: "she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come," implying that there's a constant struggle to keep the relationship going, and it's going to end up badly.

Despite all the negative aspects of the relationship, the main character is still hopeful that they can stay together and remain beautiful and forever young, a common notion in many romantic songs. The chorus, "I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it, but I love it, baby," indicates that the main character is so in love that they're willing to overlook any flaws or potential harm caused by the partner. The partner tells the main character not to worry about their future or the fact they'll never be in love, further implying that the relationship is not sustainable or healthy. Lastly, the line "All the misery was necessary when we're deep in love, this I know" speaks to the idea that love often comes with pain and challenges, but they're worth it for how deeply we feel it.

Overall, Ember Island's "Can't Feel My Face" cover tells a compelling story of a love that's doomed from the start but is too strong to let go.

And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb

She told me, "Don't worry no more."
We both knew we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be alone-oh-oh, whoa

And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
All the misery was necessary when we're deep in love

She told me, "Don't worry about it."
She told me, "Don't worry no more."
We both knew we can't go without it
