Face Down
L. Boogie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's true we walk in disbelief
Clutching to our faded glory
Trusted me but I'm a thief
Get down on your knees before me

Worlds collide hate fills my mind
Tension rising no surrender
The street's a place where love is dying
All hail to thee thy legal tender

Now you're gonna end up face down...
At night the vipers rip my flesh
The bitch from hell is feeding
Scratch my wounds to keep them fresh

She likes 'em young 'n' bloody
Now you gonna end up face down...
Good and hate fear and shame
Wasted our disaster

Cuts like cancer in my brain
Man now he's your master

Now you're gonna end up face down
Now you're gonna end up face down




Now you're gonna end up face down
Now you're gonna end up face down

Overall Meaning

The song "Face Down" by L. Boogie seems to be a commentary on the state of the world and how it affects individuals. The first verse talks about how people walk in disbelief, clinging to their past despite the fact that it has faded away. The second line suggests that people have trusted the singer, but that she is actually a thief, perhaps indicating a lack of trust and transparency in the world.


The second verse takes a darker turn, as the lyrics describe how hate is filling the singer's mind and tension is rising with no hope of surrender. The street is presented as a place where love is dying, and money rules over all. The chorus then repeats the phrase "now you're gonna end up face down," which can be interpreted as a warning to those who are not careful and attentive to the world around them. The third verse describes the singer's experiences at night, where she is attacked by "vipers" and a "bitch from hell." The lines "she likes 'em young 'n' bloody" suggest a sense of helplessness and vulnerability in the face of these attacks.
