Faces
Hayd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I have both my eyes closed
I just wanna go home
But where is my true home?
I just wanna go home
But where is my true home?
This was all there was
We would build a house
We would have four kids
We would fall in love
But now I know
There′s so much more
Cuz even with our house and kids and love
It won't be enough
Life′s a game that we all play
At some point we all get lead astray as
We search for love In all the wrong places
So why are we caught off guard when our hearts break yeah
We give our love To all the wrong faces
So why are we surprised when it doesn't satisfy
I used to think
This was all there was
Life was about
Chasing gold and chasing fame
But now I know
There's so much more
Cuz we can hoard our gold
And covet our fame
But we′ll still want more
Life′s a game that we all play
At some point we all get led astray as
We search for love In all the wrong places
So why are we caught off guard when our hearts break yeah
We give our love To all the wrong faces
So why are we surprised when it doesn't satisfy
So why are we surprised when it doesn′t satisfy
So why are we surprised when it doesn't satisfy
We search for love In all the wrong places
So why are we caught off guard when our hearts break yeah
We give our love To all the wrong faces
So why are we surprised when it doesn′t satisfy
Tell me where do I go
When I have both my eyes closed
So why are we surprised
When it doesn't satisfy
Tell me where do I go
When I have both my eyes closed
So why are we surprised
When it doesn′t satisfy
The song "Faces" by Hayd is a reflection on the search for true fulfillment in life. It begins with the singer questioning where they should go when they close their eyes, suggesting a feeling of being lost or unsure of their direction. They long to go home, but are not sure where their true home is. The first verse recalls a time when the singer believed that building a life with a partner and children would be enough to find happiness, but has now realized that there is more to life than that. The chorus asserts that life is a game that we all play and at some point, we all get led astray as we search for love in all the wrong places. The second verse acknowledges that chasing material wealth and fame is also ultimately unfulfilling, as it will never be enough.
The song's message is a poignant reminder to seek out the things that truly matter in life, such as genuine connection and love, rather than getting lost in the pursuit of external validation. The repeated question of "Where do I go?" suggests that even when we feel lost, we should continue to seek out that which brings us true happiness and fulfillment.
Overall, "Faces" is a powerful reflection on the human experience of searching for meaning and purpose in a world that can often seem overwhelming and uncertain. By encouraging listeners to question the sources of their own happiness, the song offers a timely reminder to focus on what really matters.

[Lyric]
Tell me where the time goes
It's like I've had my eyes closed
Now I'm waking up
Won't somebody let me in from the cold
I'm hurting and it's hard to
Surface once you fall through
And no one to turn to
I thought by now
I'd figure out
What I was needing but
It's cat and mouse
Fades in and out
And ends up leaving
I'm here again
Staring at my bedroom ceiling
I've searched for love
In some dark dark places
And put my trust
In all the wrong faces
It doesn't satisfy my soul no
I always wake up on my own
All alone
Tell me where the time goes
It's like I've had my eyes closed
Now you're gone
And the flower bed is overgrown
I thought by now
I'd figure out
What I was needing but
It's cat and mouse
Fades in and out
And ends up leaving
I'm here again
Staring at my bedroom ceiling
I've searched for love
In some dark dark places
And put my trust
In all the wrong faces
It doesn't satisfy my soul no
I always wake up on my own
All alone
