Faces
Felix Cartal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Times are changing and I'm fading away
Overused phrases, I don't know what to say
I've been places, different phaces
Different wasted nights
Don't tell me that you're losing faith
When you're tryna escape

What are you hiding from
Why are you hiding from
Faces, faces, faces, faces
What are you hiding from
What are you hiding from
Faces, faces, faces
Don't tell me that you're
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Don't tell me that you're losing faith
In these faces, faces, faces, faces

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Don't tell me that you're
Oh, oh-oh
In these faces, faces, faces, faces
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Don't tell me that you're
Oh, oh-oh
In these faces, faces, faces, faces

Falling faster like a rolling stone
You told yourself now
That you'd be better alone
But I keep wasting different faces
Different blurry nights
Don't tell me that I'm losing faith
When I'm tryna escape

What are you hiding from
Why are you hiding from
Faces, faces, faces, faces
What are you hiding from
What are you hiding from
Faces, faces, faces
Don't tell me that you're
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Don't tell me that you're losing faith
In these faces, faces, faces, faces

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Don't tell me that you're
Oh, oh-oh, oh
In these faces, faces, faces, faces
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Don't tell me that you're




Oh, oh-oh, oh
In these faces, faces, faces, faces

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Faces" by Felix Cartal explore feelings of isolation and disillusionment with oneself and others. The singer acknowledges that they have been to many different places and have encountered many different people (faces), but despite this, they feel disconnected and misunderstood. They also express frustration with the repetitiveness of their words and the phrases that are commonly used to express emotions. The chorus asks the question, "What are you hiding from?" which implies that there is some hidden pain or fear that is causing the disconnection and dissatisfaction.


The second verse introduces a new perspective, that of someone who is falling faster (perhaps into a destructive or addictive pattern) and trying to convince themselves that being alone is better than being surrounded by different faces. The repetition of the phrase "different faces, different blurry nights" emphasizes the singer's frustration with the cycle of meaningless encounters. The chorus repeats the question "What are you hiding from?" and ends with the plea for honesty ("Don't tell me that you're losing faith in these faces").


Overall, the lyrics suggest a search for authenticity and connection in a world that can feel superficial and confusing. The use of the word "faces" as a metaphor for people highlights the idea that our identities are often sculpted by our interactions with others, but we can also feel lost in the sea of changing faces.
