Faceless
Kitsune Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feel your whispering send shivers down my body
Taking what I want from someone else's daughter
Yet I can't feel her at all

I'll try and avoid it
'Cause she is all I see
But they have coveted my innocence
With inviting sights and lonely nights
And the lonely nights

She is faceless in the positions where you used to lay
Satisfying my desires of the skin
Forgotten in the morning light

I'll try and avoid it
'Cause she is all I see
But they have coveted my innocence
With inviting sights and lonely nights
And the lonely nights
When I can't feel her at all

(I've set aside my morals and fallen into sin)
(Objectifying someone to taste their salty skin)
(When all along, I've wanted your love)
(The thought of never being so close)
(When all along I've wanted your love – if only once again)

I'll try and avoid it
'Cause she is all I see
But they have coveted my innocence
With inviting lonely nights

I'll try and avoid it
'Cause she is all I see
But they have coveted my innocence
With inviting sights and lonely nights




And the lonely nights
Yeah, the lonely nights

Line by Line Meaning

Feel your whispering send shivers down my body
The sensation of your whisper causes a pleasurable feeling through my body


Taking what I want from someone else's daughter
I have pursued someone's daughter and taken what I wanted from her


Yet I can't feel her at all
Even though I have taken what I wanted from her, I feel nothing for her now


She is faceless in the positions where you used to lay
I associate the physical pleasure of being with someone else with the memory of you


Satisfying my desires of the skin
The pleasure I feel is only physical, and not emotional or meaningful


Forgotten in the morning light
The physical actions of the night are meaningless in the light of day


(I've set aside my morals and fallen into sin)
I have abandoned my personal values and engaged in immoral behavior


(Objectifying someone to taste their salty skin)
I have reduced someone to a mere object of pleasure, disregarding their feelings and personhood


(When all along, I've wanted your love)
Despite my actions, my true desire is to have your emotional and meaningful love


(The thought of never being so close)
The idea of having lost the closeness we once had is painful to me


(When all along I've wanted your love – if only once again)
My true desire is to regain your love, even if it is just for one more time


And the lonely nights
The physical pleasure I seek only leads to more loneliness and emptiness
