Faces
Marius Bear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Raise a hand or just take the shit
Left or right is same to me
We're exactly where we used to be
I wanna hear
Words that are real
I need a sign to recognise
I'm done with all these plastic
Faces
Need some real conversation
Face it
Everybody has it all
Wasted
Hiding under happy pulled
Faces
The moment people start talking again
When those wheels stop we're walking again
Put down your headphones
Can you hear what I'm saying
Can you hear what I'm saying
I wanna know
How you really feel
Give me a sign
Give me something real
Can you hear what I'm saying
Done with all these plastic
Faces
Need some real conversation
Face to face shit
Everybody has it all
Fake shit
Hiding under happy pulled
Faces
Just take them off
Just take them off
Can you hear what I'm saying
I'm done with all these plastic
Faces
Strip it to the basics
Naked
I'm done with all these plastic
Faces
Need some real conversation
Face to face shit
Everybody has it all
Face it
Hiding under happy pulled
Faces
In the song "Faces" by Marius Bear, the lyrics express frustration with the superficiality and insincerity of modern communication. The singer is tired of people hiding behind fake personas and not engaging in genuine conversation. The repeated line, "I'm done with all these plastic faces," highlights this theme of people putting on false fronts and concealing their true selves. The singer desires connection and honesty, as evidenced in the line, "I wanna hear words that are real," and "Give me something real, can you hear what I'm saying?"
The song encourages the listener to put down their headphones and engage in real conversation, face to face. The line, "Put down your headphones, can you hear what I'm saying?" emphasizes the importance of disconnecting from technology and tuning into the world around us. There is a sense of urgency in the lyrics, as the singer implores others to join them in discussing real issues and feelings. The final line, "Everybody has it all, face it," implies that everyone struggles with the pressure to present a certain image, but that true connection and understanding can only come from facing reality.
Overall, "Faces" by Marius Bear is a call to action for individuals to seek deeper connection and authenticity in their relationships with others, and to break down the barriers that keep us from truly understanding each other.
