Faces
NO SWOON Lyrics

Metal world
The world we live in is cold, hard and unfeeling, like an unyielding block of metal.

Flash of light
Life is short and fleeting, like a sudden spark that ignites and fades just as quickly.

So many faces
In the crowd of people we encounter, each face is unique and individual, yet they all blend together into a faceless mass.

So many faces
The multitude of people we meet in life can be overwhelming and leave us feeling lost and disconnected.

It's me
Despite the anonymity and impersonality of modern society, I am still an individual with my own thoughts, feelings and identity.

It's really me
I am not just a face in the crowd or a nameless number, but a real and tangible human being with hopes, dreams and fears.

I like to think it'll stay that way
I hope to maintain my personal identity and not become lost or overshadowed by the crowd, despite the pressures to conform and blend in.

Pay no mind
I try not to be swayed or influenced by the superficial appearances or expectations of others, but instead stay true to my own perspective and values.

To what I find illuminated
I am drawn towards the things in life that inspire and motivate me, regardless of whether they are popular, mainstream or widely accepted by others.

So many faces ask: 'Where are you going?'
The people around me are curious about my goals, aspirations and direction in life, but I may not always have a clear or definite answer to give them.

Anxious breaths, no reply
I may feel uncertain, nervous or overwhelmed when confronted with these questions, but I try to remain calm and composed even if I don't have a ready answer.

(Aaah, aaah)
The repetition of these sounds reflects the emotional intensity and complexity of the feelings evoked by these experiences.

Distilled life
I try to simplify and distill my experiences and emotions down to their essence, in order to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of them.

You won't find
The true nature of life, and of myself, cannot be fully understood or grasped through superficial appearances or material possessions.

Turn off the chases
I try to avoid or ignore the constant pressures and temptations of modern society, such as consumerism, vanity, and ego-driven pursuits, that distract or detract from the meaningful aspects of life.

Won't run away
Despite the challenges and difficulties of life, I will not give up or retreat from the struggle, but will face them with courage, determination and resilience.

Won't run away
I will not allow fear, doubt or uncertainty to paralyze me or prevent me from pursuing my goals and dreams in life.

Won't run away
I will remain true to my own values and beliefs, even if it means going against the expectations or pressures of others or the wider society.

Won't run away
I will stand up for what I believe in and face the challenges and obstacles that come my way, rather than avoiding or evading them.

Won't run away
Ultimately, I will confront and embrace the full range of experiences and emotions that life has to offer, rather than shrinking from them or denying them.
