Modern Life
Faces In Disguise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
to see the things barely dropping round
and i've found some kind of gap
coming across as listless minds
my fears are their advice
disguise commited to gracious lives
if my hurt made out this words
i hope that someone hears them too
One brighter way to look alive
waiting to come cause otherwise
we are lost in modern life (X2)
Unplug us for just one night
and chase the spatter once set in sky
wide field reminding us
what's there despite
elusive satellites
and city lights that blind our kind
if my hurt made out this words
i hope that someone hears them!
One brighter way to look alive
waiting to come cause otherwise
we are lost in modern life (X2)
It's not enough, there's not a lot of love
One brighter way to look alive
waiting to come cause otherwise
we are lost in modern life
The song "Modern Life" by Faces In Disguise highlights the struggle of living in modern times. The first verse suggests that the singer's eyes are struggling to keep up with the fast-paced world around them, and they feel disconnected from those around them. They describe a gap that separates them from others, who they feel are living listless lives. They believe their fears are confirmed by the advice they receive from these people, who are committed to living gracious lives but may not understand their struggles. The singer hopes that their words can reach someone who can understand their pain.
The chorus suggests that there is a brighter way to live, that is waiting to be discovered. The singer believes that modern life can be confusing and overwhelming, but there is hope for a better way of living. They suggest disconnecting from the constant bombardment of technology and reminders of urban life, and instead looking to the wide open spaces of nature for guidance.
The final line of the song "It's not enough, there's not a lot of love" suggests that the singer feels that despite their attempts to find a better way to live, love is still lacking in the world.
Overall, "Modern Life" highlights the struggle of living in a fast-paced, technology-driven world, and suggests that there is still hope for a brighter future in which love and connection are prioritized.
