Face in the Crowd
Kállay Saunders Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's a face in the crowd
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
And i just can't put down
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

Overall Meaning

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.
