Faces
MineSweepa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm looking for signs, sometimes they're hiding from me
Oh, maybe I don't wanna see
That it's clear as crystal that I keep escaping
I'm not willing to fake it again

I'm looking for love in all the wrong places
I'm looking for your refection in their faces
I'm looking for love in all the wrong places
I'm looking for your reflection in their faces, their faces

I'm looking for high society all around me
In places I don't yet belong
And I've been searching the world wide for myself
Now I know this is just the beginning

I'm not willing to fake it
I'm not willing to fake it

I'm looking for love in all the wrong places
I'm looking for your refection in their faces




I'm looking for love in all the wrong places
I'm looking for your reflection in their faces, their faces

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of MineSweepa's song "FACES" poignantly express the confusion and complexity of searching for one's identity and purpose in life. The singer is desperately seeking signs that will guide them towards their true self, but these signs remain elusive and difficult to discern. Despite this difficulty, the singer is determined to remain authentic and not resort to fakery or pretense as they have in the past.


The singer's search for identity and purpose also involves a search for love and validation. However, they have been looking for these things in all the wrong places, perhaps seeking them in superficial and insincere relationships. The singer acknowledges that they have been seeking their own reflection in the faces of others, hoping to find a sense of self-worth or identity through their interactions with others. However, the singer realizes that this is a futile pursuit and that they must find their own path to love and self-acceptance.


The final stanza of the song suggests that the singer is on the cusp of discovering their true self and embarking on a new phase of life. They have been searching for themselves all over the world, but now they realize that their journey has only just begun. They are determined to continue their search with authenticity and sincerity, and to avoid the temptation of fakery and deceit that may have held them back in the past.
