Pillow Bite
Face Candy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish I had the answers
I know you have the answers
I severely feel like I don't know
I severely feel like I'm so froze
severely feel like I should severely feel
When I can get out of that early clearly eery field
And let your ears just peel
Missed the first one
But still I was the first one
That real person
To see another person as a person
And when other people don't see you as such
I know the feeling is naturally hurting
It's okay
It's okay
You're not alone
You're not alone
The wind doesn't blow that way
Cause from where I stay
The wind blows us away from the rest
And together
So we can put ourselves on display for the world
So We can say this is major
This is secret
This is deep shit
This is not but just a weekend favor
This is real
This is something that'll last much longer
Something that's so much later
Something that's so much stronger
Something that's conquered
The monsters that live inside the circuitry
And why are we so purposely
You hired me to first see
What water was spilled
What daughter had guilt
Because she wasn't loved right
What sunshine never really feels lovely
Where do we take ourselves
Where do we carry ourselves
Embrace ourselves
Before we break our help
Cause the only thing we're looking at is the scraping
Melting treef that are scathing
Bathing in the dissected unprotected corrected scathing
That we're all losing
We're bruising our inside of the teeth bitting on the same thing
But I'm here
To rip your jaws open even when they're clinched tight
I'm here
I'm here to shed tears
I'm here to stay up all night
I'm here
And I'll never leave
I'll never leave you
I'll never leave you
I'll never leave you
I'll always believe you
I'll always be-leave you
So put the be in front of it
Put the bumblebee for the birds and the bees
That I guess naturally are running this
Fucking emotional chemical imbalance
That we have
But it's all I have
So I'm fucking glad
And one day I'll be a dad
And we'll walk and the shadows won't seem that deep
The shadows won't come up when we're asleep
The shadows weep for me no more
Cause I'm leaving all the fucking graveyards behind
And I'm polishing up my mind
And I'm leaving you
with one thing to know
I'm yours you're mine
And if the world doesn't know that's fine
we decide
(I'll never leave you)
The lyrics of Pillow Bite by Face Candy is a reflection of the confusion and isolation that we all feel at some point in our lives. The lines "You have the answers, I wish I had the answers" represent the disconnect between what we know and what we are searching for. When the artist says "I severely feel like I don't know", they reveal a sense of helplessness and uncertainty in their journey of self-discovery. The song also explores the loneliness that comes with this journey, as the artist sings "the wind doesn't blow that way, 'cause from where I stay, the wind blows us away from the rest."
Despite the weight of these emotions, the song also has a message of hope. The artist reassures the listener that they are not alone in their struggles, that they can embrace themselves and conquer the monsters that live inside. The lyrics "I'm here to rip your jaws open even when they're clinched tight, I'm here to shed tears, I'm here to stay up all night" symbolize the willingness to support and uplift others as they navigate their own personal journeys.
Overall, Pillow Bite by Face Candy is a beautiful and emotional representation of the highs and lows of self-discovery, the importance of overcoming isolation, and the power of emotional support.
Line by Line Meaning
You have the answers
You seem to have it all figured out
I wish I had the answers
I wish I could understand everything like you do
I know you have the answers
It's clear that you have the knowledge I lack
I severely feel like I don't know
I feel lost and uninformed
I severely feel like I'm so froze
I feel paralyzed by my uncertainty and fear
severely feel like I should severely feel
I feel like I'm supposed to feel something strongly
When I can get out of that early clearly eery field
When I can escape the confusing and eerie place I am in
And let your ears just peel
And allow you to listen closely
she probably missed the first one
She likely didn't understand the first thing I said
Missed the first one
Didn't catch the initial point I made
But still I was the first one
However, I was the first person
That real person
Who saw others as human beings
To see another person as a person
To view someone as an individual with thoughts and feelings
And when other people don't see you as such
And when others fail to see you as a person
I know the feeling is naturally hurting
I understand that it's a painful experience
It's okay
But it's alright
You're not alone
You're not the only one who feels this way
The wind doesn't blow that way
The direction things are going will change
Cause from where I stay
Where I am situated
The wind blows us away from the rest
Our circumstances set us apart from the norm
And together
But we are united
So we can put ourselves on display for the world
So we can showcase ourselves to the world
So We can say this is major
So we can describe this as being significant
This is secret
This is something not many know about
This is deep shit
This is serious stuff
This is not but just a weekend favor
This is not just a mere act of kindness
This is real
This is authentic
This is something that'll last much longer
This will have a lasting impact
Something that's so much later
Something that won't materialize until much later
Something that's so much stronger
Something that's more powerful
Something that's conquered
Something that's been defeated
The monsters that live inside the circuitry
The demons that exist within us
And why are we so purposely
And why do we deliberately
You hired me to first see
You enlisted my help to initially identify
What water was spilled
What past events caused pain and hurt
What daughter had guilt
What daughter felt ashamed
Because she wasn't loved right
Because she wasn't shown the love she deserved
What sunshine never really feels lovely
What things that should bring joy, don't
Where do we take ourselves
Where do we go from here
Where do we carry ourselves
Where do we hold ourselves accountable
Embrace ourselves
Accept ourselves
Before we break our help
Before our situation deteriorates further
Cause the only thing we're looking at is the scraping
Because we are only focused on surviving
Melting treef that are scathing
Difficult and painful experiences that hurt us
Bathing in the dissected unprotected corrected scathing
Being vulnerable and exposed to criticism and judgement
That we're all losing
That we are all struggling and suffering
We're bruising our inside of the teeth bitting on the same thing
We are causing ourselves harm by repeating harmful behaviors
But I'm here
But I am present
To rip your jaws open even when they're clinched tight
To force you to speak even when you don't want to
I'm here
I am here for you
I'm here to shed tears
I am here to cry with you
I'm here to stay up all night
I will be here for as long as you need me
And I'll never leave
And I will never abandon you
I'll never leave you
I will always be with you
I'll always believe you
I will always trust you
I'll always be-leave you
I will always support you
So put the be in front of it
So emphasize the action
Put the bumblebee for the birds and the bees
Use a symbol that represents life and fertility
That I guess naturally are running this
That I suppose are the cause of this
Fucking emotional chemical imbalance
Unbalanced emotions caused by chemicals in the brain
That we have
That we experience
But it's all I have
However, it's all I possess
So I'm fucking glad
So I'm grateful
And one day I'll be a dad
Someday I will be a father
And we'll walk and the shadows won't seem that deep
And we will take a walk, and the darkness won't be as intimidating
The shadows won't come up when we're asleep
The darkness won't frighten us when we are asleep
The shadows weep for me no more
The darkness no longer haunts me
Cause I'm leaving all the fucking graveyards behind
Because I'm moving on from all the past trauma and pain
And I'm polishing up my mind
And I'm improving my thought process
And I'm leaving you
And I'm telling you
with one thing to know
with one piece of information to remember
I'm yours you're mine
We belong to each other
And if the world doesn't know that's fine
And if others do not understand, it doesn't matter
we decide
We are in control of our own destiny
(I'll never leave you)
(I will always be with you)
