Face in the Crowd
Kállay Saunders Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like the moon in the dawn
Right here she stands
But yet she's so far
Oh no
She's just a face up in the crowd
She got me goin' out my mind
She is a drug in my life
I'm hearing everything she says
But not a word was ever left
And it's over
Should've told her
I thought we're fucking tonight
You took off all my clothes
I had/hit you on the wall
I saw it all in your eyes
But then you have to go
I guess we'll never know
She's just a face up in the crowd
a face up in the
She's just a face up in the crowd
a face up in the
She's just a face up in the crowd
a face up in the
She's just a face up in the crowd
a face up in the crowd
All i see is you I don't know why
I let you leave
Won't this time
I'll sing to you every line
I know what you want
Girl i will supply
I remember your face from every time
How long will it take?
I lost her in the crowd
I lost her in the crowd
I thought we're fucking tonight
You took off all my clothes
I had/hit you on the wall
I saw it all in your eyes
But then you have to go
I guess we'll never know
She's just a face up in the crowd
a face up in the
She's just a face up in the crowd
a face up in the
She's just a face up in the crowd
a face up in the
She's just a face up in the crowd
a face up in the crowd
I thought we're fucking tonight
You took off all my clothes
I had/hit you on the wall
I saw it all in your eyes
But then you have to go
I guess we'll never know
She's just a face up in the crowd
a face up in the
She's just a face up in the crowd
a face up in the
She's just a face up in the crowd
a face up in the
She's just a face up in the crowd
a face up in the crowd
a face up in the crowd
In the song "Face in the Crowd" by Kállay Saunders Band, the lyrics describe a woman who stands out to the singer in a crowd, yet she remains distant and unattainable. The metaphor of the moon in the dawn is used to describe her presence, suggesting that she is beautiful and mysterious. The singer is clearly drawn to her and compares her to a drug that he can't put down, but he never tells her how he feels. The second verse alludes to a more intimate encounter in which the singer thought they were going to have sex, but she leaves before anything happens. The repetition of "a face up in the crowd" at the end of each verse underscores the idea that the woman is just one of many people in the crowd and therefore easily overlooked, but to the singer, she stands out in a significant way.
The song seems to be about missed opportunities, desire, and longing for something or someone that is out of reach. The woman remains an enigma, and the singer is left wondering what could have been. The lyrics are accompanied by a slow, emotional melody that reflects the singer's melancholic mood. The song is a representation of a common human reaction to missing opportunities and people or events that could have been formative for us.
Line by Line Meaning
She's a face in the crowd
She is just one of many people in a group
Like the moon in the dawn
Her presence is noticeable but not distinct
Right here she stands
She is physically present
But yet she's so far
She is emotionally distant
Oh no
Expressing disappointment and frustration
She's just a face up in the crowd
She is not someone significant or special
She got me goin' out my mind
She is on his mind constantly
She is a drug in my life
He is addicted to her presence and influence in his life
And i just can't put down
He cannot let go of his infatuation for her
I'm hearing everything she says
He is paying attention to her every word
But not a word was ever left
Their conversation did not lead to meaningful communication
And it's over
Their interaction has ended
Should've told her
He regrets not expressing his feelings to her
I thought we're fucking tonight
He had expected sexual intimacy with her
You took off all my clothes
She undressed him
I had/hit you on the wall
They engaged in passionate physical contact
I saw it all in your eyes
He read her emotions through her eyes
But then you have to go
She left after their physical encounter
I guess we'll never know
He will never know what could have been between them
All i see is you I don't know why
He is fixated on her despite the circumstances
I let you leave
He did not stop her from leaving
Won't this time
He will not allow her to leave next time
I'll sing to you every line
He will express his feelings through music
I know what you want
He knows what she desires
Girl i will supply
He will provide what she needs
I remember your face from every time
He has vivid memories of her face from their interactions
How long will it take?
He wonders when he will be able to see her again
I lost her in the crowd
He is unable to find her in the group of people
a face up in the
She remains insignificant in the larger picture
a face up in the crowd
She is just another anonymous person among many
