Faces
Fire Tiger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uuuuh Uuuh
Ooooh Oooh

Our love is gone, but I am your friend Take a step out of your prison,
You might remember how it made you feel then
Don't tell me I'm wrong,
I've known you for so long
Why do you treat me like a stranger?

Hey, remember life with us?
Hey, remember life?

Where'd you get your faces, so many faces,
For the places you call home Where
Can I find the one face that I know?

It wasn't you who said that to me
No it just couldn't be you,
He didn't have your tender voice believe me
This strange man was here just a minute
Ago, standing right where you are standing...

Hey, remember life with us?
Hey, remember life?

Where'd you get your faces, so many faces,
For the places you call home Where
Can I find the one face that I know?





Uuuuh Uuuh
Ooooh Oooh

Overall Meaning

In Fire Tiger's song "Faces," the singer mourns the end of a romantic relationship but notes that they are still friends. The lyrics encourage the former lover to remember the happy times they shared and to not treat the singer like a stranger. The chorus then questions the many faces the ex-lover puts on in various places, and asks if the one true face the singer knew still exists.


The song appears to reflect the pain of losing not only a romantic partner but also a close friend. The singer has known the ex-lover for a long time and seems hurt that they are now treated like a stranger. At the same time, the singer recognizes that the ex-lover has changed and put on many faces since the end of the relationship. The song seems to yearn for a return to simpler times, when the ex-lover's true face was enough.


Overall, "Faces" is a melancholic but thoughtful song that deals with the complexities of relationships and the sense of loss when a close bond ends.
