For Your Misery
Face Down Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You want an answer,
Well, What do you want to hear,
That I think you're special

And that I really care?
That's where you wrong,
'Cause I'll never be,
More than I expect from me!

The whole of me dedicated to your misery,
You're a whore, I'm a hero

Don't chew more than you can swallow
Don't chew more than you can swallow
Don't chew more than you can swallow

I stand corrected,
Sorry I made you feel that way,
Small word of comfort,
You're not the first

You try to be a match for me,
Don't waste your breath,
'Cause this is what you made me

The whole of me dedicated to your misery,
You're a whore, I'm a hero

Don't chew more than you can swallow
What I want, And what I need,
Is still something you can't bring me

Here's an answer to you question,
My lies as true as yours

Maybe not the one you wanted,
But the only one you'll get

You'll never be a match for me,
Don't waste your breath,
'Cause this is what you made me

So how does it feel?
This I do believe,
The lies that you conceive





What goes around comes around,
And twice as much from me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Face Down's song For Your Misery are a scathing response to someone's misguided belief that they are special and cared for. The singer is blunt and unapologetic in their rejection of these notions, making it clear that they will never be more than what they expect from themselves. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song: "You want an answer/Well, what do you want to hear/That I think you're special/And that I really care?" In the next few lines, the singer makes it clear that they do not feel this way and that the other person is wrong for expecting it. The chorus takes a particularly brutal turn as the singer dedicates the whole of themselves to the other person's misery, calling them a whore and themselves a hero. The repeated injunction to "Don't chew more than you can swallow" emphasizes the harshness of the singer's tone and message.


The second verse begins with the singer acknowledging that they made a mistake in upsetting the other person but quickly turns back to their contemptuous attitude. They dismiss the other person's attempts to compete with them and claim that they are what the other person made them. The singer then returns to the chorus, with slight variations in the lyrics. The final lines of the song offer a warning or threat, depending on how one interprets them: "What goes around comes around/And twice as much from me." The song thus ends on a note of satisfaction and vindication for the singer.

Yet, you are incapable of providing it to me.


Here's an answer to your question,
I have a response to your inquiry.


My lies as true as yours
My falsehoods are as genuine as yours.


Maybe not the one you wanted,
Perhaps it is not the response you anticipated,


But the only one you'll get
However, that is the only answer available to you.


You'll never be a match for me,
You will never be capable of defeating me,


Don't waste your breath,
Save your words since they are pointless,


'Cause this is what you made me
This is the outcome of your actions.


So, how does it feel?
How does it make you feel?


This I do believe,
I firmly believe that this is true.


The lies that you conceive
The falsehoods that you fabricate.


What goes around comes around,
As you sow, so shall you reap,


And twice as much from me
And you will receive twice as much from me.

Hey girl you know you drive me crazy
One look puts the rhythm in my hand
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down

Cover up with make up in the mirror
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wait around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down

I see the way you go and say you're right again
Say you're right again
Heed my lecture

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found

Face down in the dirt
She said "This doesn't hurt!"
She said "I finally had enough!"

Face down in the dirt
She said "This doesn't hurt!"
She said "I finally had enough!"

One day she will tell you that she has had enough
It's coming round again

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found

Face down in the dirt
She said "This doesn't hurt!"
She said "I finally had enough!"

As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found

Face down in the dirt
She said "This doesn't hurt!"
She said "I finally had enough!"
