Face It
Guns Up! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Reality snuck up on you
Pushed you in a corner
Now thers nothign to do
You way you'll face it
Its just another time
Hiding from youself
Keep your problems in line
Procrastinate until it gets out of hand
I see your wits holding by a thin hope's strand
Its just another day, a chance gone by
Your wasted, time to face it
Looks like your out of time

And when they ask "whatever happened to him?"
Ill shake my head & say "he thew it all in"

Realize you didnt give enough
This shits not so hard
You're only making it tough
And since you dont talk- i cant read minds
So long maybe ill see you around some time
Its fucking sad, you turned into one big joke
Its all your actions that are making you choke
Can i see a change? i guess ive seen it before,
But i wont hold my breath
Because my lifes worth more

Then i watched you throw it all away
Move closer to a life full of pain
So youre scared to face it?




Fuck you
You brought this on yourself

Overall Meaning

The song "Face It" by Guns Up! is a powerful and emotional piece about confronting one's problems and taking responsibility for one's actions. The lyrics speak to the experience of being caught up in a cycle of avoidance, denial, and procrastination that ultimately leads to self-destruction. The first verse describes how "reality snuck up" on the person, pushing them into a corner and leaving them with no options. Despite their attempts to hide from themselves and keep their problems under control, they know deep down that they need to face the truth. The chorus reinforces this message, emphasizing that time is running out and that it's time to take action.


The second verse is more confrontational in nature, as the singer addresses the person directly and highlights the negative repercussions of their behavior. The lines "You turned into one big joke / It's all your actions that are making you choke" are especially biting, as they suggest that the person's behavior has become so ridiculous that it's almost comical. The bridge of the song takes a more resigned tone, acknowledging that change is possible but not guaranteed. Throughout the piece, the lyrics emphasize the importance of taking action and owning up to one's mistakes.


Overall, "Face It" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that tackles important themes related to self-reflection and accountability. Its raw honesty and emotional intensity make it a standout in the hardcore punk genre.


Line by Line Meaning

Reality snuck up on you
The truth hit you unexpectedly


Pushed you in a corner
It left you feeling cornered


Now there's nothing to do
You feel helpless and lost


You way you'll face it
You say you'll confront the issue


Its just another time
This situation has happened before


Hiding from yourself
You're avoiding the truth about yourself


Keep your problems in line
You try to control your problems


Procrastinate until it gets out of hand
You delay taking action until it’s too late


I see your wits holding by a thin hope's strand
Your sanity is barely intact


Its just another day, a chance gone by
Another wasted opportunity


Your wasted, time to face it
You're a failure, you need to accept it


Looks like your out of time
It's too late to fix things now


And when they ask "whatever happened to him?"
When people wonder what became of you


Ill shake my head & say "he threw it all in"
I'll say you gave up on everything


Realize you didn't give enough
You didn't try hard enough


This shit's not so hard
It's not as difficult as you think


You're only making it tough
You're making it harder than it needs to be


And since you don't talk- I can't read minds
You don't communicate, so I don't know what you're thinking


So long maybe I'll see you around some time
Goodbye, maybe we'll meet again someday


It's fucking sad, you turned into one big joke
It’s pathetic how you've become a laughing stock


It's all your actions that are making you choke
Your choices are suffocating you


Can I see a change? I guess I've seen it before
I'm not sure if you'll change, I've seen you fail before


But I won't hold my breath
I'm not optimistic


Because my life's worth more
I value my life too much to waste my time on you


Then I watched you throw it all away
I saw you ruin everything


Move closer to a life full of pain
You're moving towards more suffering


So you're scared to face it? Fuck you
You're cowardly for avoiding the truth


You brought this on yourself
You're responsible for your own misery
