Face to Face Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Face to Face's song Icons describes the feeling of uncertainty and confusion that the singer is experiencing. They feel like they're not sure what they know for sure, and yet others are looking to them for answers. The first few lines illustrate the singer's realization that they're going through the same thing all over again - this feeling of being certain of something but not really knowing anything at all. They mention how inhibitions decline, indicating a sense of vulnerability and lack of confidence.
The second paragraph talks about how everyone wants to live another life, which suggests a dissatisfaction with one's current situation. There are so many aspirations that have been placed upon the singer, yet they don't know where to begin. They feel like they've taken a lot on the chin and everyone else seems to win. The singer questions whether what they're convinced of is really what they want, and whether they truly know everything. They mention being confused by what others call the truth, suggesting a lack of trust in what society deems to be true. The final lines convey a sense of resignation and acceptance of not being able to decide everything; the singer has tried their best but ultimately feels like they've come up short.
Overall, the song is an introspective exploration of the singer's state of mind. It deals with feelings of insecurity, disillusionment with society's values, and confusion about one's own beliefs.
