Face Down
Monster Magnet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well it's a Planet of the Apes and a Third Eye kinda thing
Well, let's all lay down and dig through the ground
To find the holy ride that'll make your thing go ding
What Mother Earth gives back to man
Is running through my bones
But now's the time for the beautiful exchange honey
And you ain't gonna do it all alone
When the sun blocks the moon and the stars go down
I'll be floating
Squirming and laughing
Next position
That begins face down
They're gonna miss their children
I mean I'm still alive but I'm almost gone
But now stands for everything
So get your ass down on the playing ground
Baby will you slide me through the world
I ain't working for the man, I'm an allosaurus, baby
Well, I'm sucking up more karma than I need
So have supernova on me
When the sun blocks the moon and the stars go down
I'll be floating
Squirming and laughing
Next position
That begins face down
When the sun blocks the moon and the stars go down
When the sun blocks the moon and the stars go down
When the sun blocks the moon and the stars go down
The song "Face Down" by Monster Magnet is a psychedelic rock track that can be interpreted in a number of ways. The first two lines of the song suggest that the song is about an otherworldly experience, possibly induced by psychedelics. The reference to "Planet of the Apes and a Third Eye" suggests a trip into a surreal, science-fiction universe. The lines that follow encourage listeners to "lay down and dig through the ground" in search of a "holy ride," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for a transcendent experience.
The chorus of the song suggests that the singer is experiencing a state of ecstasy, possibly through a drug-induced high. The lines "I'll be floating / Squirming and laughing / Next position / That begins face down" suggest that the singer is experiencing a combination of pleasure and disorientation. The final verse of the song suggests that the singer is celebrating a life of hedonism, with the lines "I'm sucking up more karma than I need / So have supernova on me" suggesting that the singer is living life to the fullest because they know that they will not be able to live this way forever.

We'll have a good time baby
Let's have fun and enjoy ourselves
Well it's a Planet of the Apes and a Third Eye kinda thing
The situation is strange and otherworldly
Well, let's all lay down and dig through the ground
Let's search for something important
To find the holy ride that'll make your thing go ding
To find something exciting and fulfilling
What Mother Earth gives back to man
The gifts of nature
Is running through my bones
I feel a deep connection to the natural world
But now's the time for the beautiful exchange honey
Now is the time to give and receive goodness
And you ain't gonna do it all alone
We are in this together
When the sun blocks the moon and the stars go down
During a period of darkness
I'll be floating
Feeling out of control
Squirming and laughing
Feeling both pleasure and discomfort
Next position
Moving forward
That begins face down
Starting from a vulnerable position
They're gonna miss their children
Others will experience loss
I mean I'm still alive but I'm almost gone
I am barely holding on
But now stands for everything
The present moment is significant
So get your ass down on the playing ground
Get involved and take action
Baby will you slide me through the world
Will you help me navigate life?
I ain't working for the man, I'm an allosaurus, baby
I am not conforming to society's expectations
Well, I'm sucking up more karma than I need
I am accumulating more negative energy than necessary
So have supernova on me
Let's celebrate and explode with energy
When the sun blocks the moon and the stars go down
During a period of darkness
When the sun blocks the moon and the stars go down
During a period of darkness
When the sun blocks the moon and the stars go down
During a period of darkness

I was 17 yrs old when this album 1st came out many moons ago & met them backstage at 1 of their concerts in Tampa where I still live. Dave was hella fun...& hella high. I usually don't kiss n tell but I got naked afterwards with the lead singer at a Days Inn(LOL) where the band was staying. He was super nice. Adores women....turned me around towards the mirror & said "Just look how beautiful u are..." ...and kissed me all over. Major ego boost for a 17 year old lol. I was OBSESSED with his voice on this album. I never wanted that night to end. I remember sitting in my bedroom by myself the day after thinking about how surreal it all was. That feeling still lies with me. Thanks for the awesome memory of a lifetime, Dave💕
