Faces Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back home to the place I was born
And probably raised and I'm flying
Across the mountains and valleys
Back home to the one that I love so happily
Can ya' blame me for feeling homesick
'Cause I've been away such a very long, long time
Five years for, for being hungry tired and poor
On and on, woh woh woh
You know, I will follow
With your buttons and your bows
On and on, and on and on and on
You know, I will follow
With your buttons and your bows
On and on
You know I will follow
With your buttons and your bows
I'm flying across the ocean
Goin' home, woh woh woh
The lyrics of Faces’s song “Flying” reflect the feelings of a person who has been away from home for a long time and is now returning. The singer describes flying over the ocean, mountains, and valleys, and feeling homesick as they get closer to their birthplace where they were raised and to the person they love so happily. The lines “Can ya' blame me for feeling homesick, ‘Cause I've been away such a very long, long time” encapsulate the sentiments of the singer, who has likely been yearning to be back for a while, feeling somewhat nostalgic and pensive.
The following lines reveal that the singer was previously incarcerated for being hungry, tired, and poor. This narrative shift adds a layer of hardship to the story, which deepens the meaning behind the song. Just like many people who leave home to pursue a better life, the singer found themselves in a different circumstance than they intended or deserved. They were imprisoned for their lack of means, which speaks to the systemic and institutional barriers that people from disadvantaged backgrounds face. The tone of the song is wistful and somewhat melancholic, highlighting a sense of loss, struggle, but also hope.
One interpretation of the song suggests that it speaks to the broader themes of migration and displacement. It’s a story of feeling like a foreigner or outsider, of being estranged from one’s roots, and perhaps ultimately coming back to them. In a world where migration has become a pressing issue, and millions of people are searching for a home, Faces's “Flying” speaks to the universal human emotions of loss, longing, and belonging.
