FACES OF MARCH comes onto the Modern Rock scene out of Miami-Florida with a powerful new sound and their debut album titled Confessions. Familiar from the first listen, the recording from this Miami-based powerhouse packs a big sound that is immediately comfortable and yet refreshingly new.
Searching for band mates and longing to take the stage, vocalist Gia and drummer Eli found each other scouring a bulletin board at a local music store. With music coursing through their veins and a deep desire to feed their creative-hungry souls - a partnership was formed.
Rounding out the creative side of the outfit is producer and co-songwriter Paul Trust. No stranger to Rock production, Paul is responsible for albums from bands such as Endo, Crease, Diecast, and more. It is Trust’s production prowess that slaps the polish on Faces of March’s first release, Confessions.
The songs are enveloped in Gia’s power-packed vocals - dark, breathy, sexy, edgy - sitting just a millimeter above the music. Her three and four-part harmonies wrap around each song in this theme based album - a musical reenactment of confessions told, feelings never shared, and emotionally charged dilemmas that simply get to the truth.
Characterized by a high-end production style, the music contains a wall of multi-layered guitars (Joe), solid-grooving bass lines (Marcelo), simple-prominent drum lines (Eli), and Paul Trust’s masterful production; integrating Electronica elements with ear-pumping percussion, strings, and synthesizers.
You could imagine Faces of March sharing the stage comfortably with the likes of Flyleaf, Three Days Grace, Evanescence, or Breaking Benjamin. But, Faces of March is fresh, new, original, yet comfortable and familiar. FACES OF MARCH is a modern rock band with mainstream edginess that captures and captivates its audiences from the first listen to the very last note.
Not Enough
Faces Of March Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I watch you today
I close my eyes
Holding my shattered faith
As you play the role you play
It's not enough
The pain I feel
It's not enough
To make me go away
Running in circles
From sick twisted lies
So what is the point
In the tears that I cry?
And now you fill me up with nothing
Your words just leave a bitter taste
I wish I could pretend
That everything could be the same again
And I wish I could believe
This fairytale for me would never end
It's not enough
The pain I feel
I'll leave and make this better
It's not enough
To make me go away
The song "Not Enough" by Faces Of March is a heart-wrenching portrayal of a painful relationship. The opening lines of the chorus "It's not enough, the pain I feel, I'd leave and make this better" express a deep sense of dissatisfaction - the singer is clearly hurt beyond repair, and their pain isn't satisfied with mere hollow words. The song talks about the cyclical nature of the doomed relationship, with the singer feeling as if they are running in circles around sick twisted lies. The frustration in the lyrics is palpable - the singer wishes they could pretend everything could be the same again and hopes that the fairytale they were living in would not come to an end.
The third and fourth lines of the opening verse "I close my eyes, holding my shattered faith, as you play the role you play" showcases the idea that the singer can see through the façade that their partner is presenting, but can do nothing about it. They are forced to close their eyes and hold onto faith that is already shattered. The singer is filled with nothingness as their partner's words leave a bitter aftertaste. The yearning to make things better and the realization that the pain is just too much to bear anymore is illustrated well in the lyrics "It's not enough, to make me go away."
Overall, the song is a powerful representation of heart-wrenching pain as the singer struggles with the realization that the relationship is broken beyond repair.
Line by Line Meaning
Scattered in pieces
I feel broken and distraught
I watch you today
I am observing your actions
I close my eyes
I cannot bear to witness the pain inflicted upon me
Holding my shattered faith
I am trying to hold on to my belief in you despite the harm you have caused
As you play the role you play
You are acting a part, pretending that all is well between us
It's not enough
The pain I feel
I'd leave and make this better (yeah)
It's not enough
To make me go away
Your actions do not sufficiently address the pain you have caused. While I would leave to make things better, I am not so pained that I will completely abandon our relationship
Running in circles
From sick twisted lies
I am caught in a cycle of deceit and malicious falsehoods
So what is the point
In the tears that I cry?
I am questioning the reason for my emotional anguish
And now you fill me up with nothing
Your words just leave a bitter taste
Your words are unsatisfying and only serve to deepen my resentment and bitterness
I wish I could pretend
That everything could be the same again
I yearn for a return to how things used to be, but I know it is impossible
And I wish I could believe
This fairytale for me would never end
I long for the idyllic, uncomplicated life I have dreamed of, but I know it is just a fantasy
It's not enough
The pain I feel
I'll leave and make this better
It's not enough
To make me go away
Again, your actions do not do enough to mitigate the pain you have caused. While I would leave to improve my situation, I am not yet at the point where I would completely sever ties with you

Great video. So fun to hear you talk about your life. And I love watching you apply your makeup. You always create such pretty and flattering looks. Enjoy your alone time with your son.

Love watching these kind of videos
Little Miss Lipstick
Yaaaaaaay!! I'm so happy to hear that 😊

I loved just hanging out while with you doing your makeup and nerding out about games and tv shows. That's totally my vibe! Backseat gaming (the official term for it) with my partner is so much fun, and both of the Last of Us and Horizon games are a few of my all time favourites. Aloy is one of my favourite game characters and didn't even know they were producing a TV series! 😱 Thanks for the info!
And on the topic of good TV series, I'm currently enjoying the new season of The Mandalorian which is the bestest thing I've seen in a looong time (outside of the last of us of course). But speaking of sets, man WOW! (And I completely agree with you on that, and how they are doing an incredible job with matching up the look of the games)
But seriously, I couldn't recommend The Mandalorian on Disney + more. And that's coming from someone who never really was the biggest Star Wars fan either (was bit more of a Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter geek myself).
Thanks for the opportunity to just nerd out a bit with some old school makeup content, and I hope you and your son had a lovely day together ❤️

Thank you so much Marthe! I had no idea that there was an actual term for loving to watch others play video games. I'd be really interested to hear what other games you've enjoyed. The hubs and I don't have a ton of time to play these days but we are always on the lookout for when we do have a bit more. I know that he picked up the new HP game but we haven't delved into it yet.
I'm really hopeful for the Horizon Zero Dawn show. It's apparently being developed by Netflix which is a positive in my eyes. They tend to produce really quality content however I do also worry a little because it seems like they are also quick to drop shows if they aren't as immediately successful as they'd hoped for.
Like you I wasn't ever super into Star Wars but the hype around the Mandalorian has been so good that I have been curious. Hopefully we can jump into it once we finish Last of Us. Thank you for the recommendation!!

@Little Miss Lipstick i loved to backseat game Witcher 3 with him, and we have both played the Hogwarts game as I have been a true HP fan since 1999 and had to experience my childhood dreams come true.
Netflix series are some of my favourites as well, but oh so scary to see what happens after that first good season with almost every show. Luckily, Horizon good be a good one or two seasons show.
I can see how gaming and tv watching becomes more rare in the parenting life! I guess it's all about what you want to prioritise those special small pockets of time doing. And sometimes it's really freeing to just escape into other worlds and stories together. I can highly recommend both The Witcher 3, Hogwarts Legacy and The Mandalorian if your looking for something good to game or watch together 😊
