Juno Roome Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've never missed my wants
And every vice of mine
But I can't seem to will
Your face next to mine

The lyrics in "Faces" by Juno Roome explore the complex emotions of desire and longing for someone who is not present. The singer confesses their ability to indulge in their wants and their vices, but they cannot force themselves to imagine the face of the person they deeply desire next to theirs. The singer is aware of their own capacity for self-gratification, but they also recognize the lack of control they have when it comes to cultivating a connection with this other person.

The lyrics suggest a sense of frustration and helplessness as the singer struggles to reconcile their inner desires with external circumstances. The face of the person they desire may be out of reach or otherwise difficult to obtain. The singer may be grappling with feelings of unrequited love, rejection, or even the limitations of distance or circumstance. Overall, "Faces" is a contemplative and introspective song that speaks to the complexities of human relationships and the emotional turmoil that can arise when we yearn for something we cannot have.

Line by Line Meaning

I've never missed my wants
I've always been able to get what I want in life and fulfill my desires.

And every vice of mine
I've indulged in every bad habit and unhealthy behavior that has come my way, without any regret.

But I can't seem to will
However, I cannot control or force myself to imagine or desire for something- your face next to mine.

Your face next to mine
Despite all my ability to satisfy my own cravings and habits, I cannot make myself want or imagine being with you on an emotional and physical level.
