Painted Faces
Pacific Dub Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Until the light, it will reside.
Lift me up, just don't let me down,
Show me all that I need for now.
You believe me, when I say,
This is our time, that is your mistake.
I should know by now,
You flow easier than running water,
Just like a clown behind painted faces,
Soon to see you won't leave any traces.
Come show me what you know,
The feeling's here, don't let it go.
Take me high when I'm feeling down,
Show me all that I'm missing now.
You believe me, when I Say,
Taht I am yours, that is your mistake.
I should know by now,
You flow easier than running water,
And, you deceive when it serves you better,
Just like a clown behind painted faces,
Soon to see you won't leave any traces.
When I'm looking, I can't find you,
Never there, when you leave it all behind you,
Come prepared, when tomorrow I'll be sorry,
But the way you move your body, yeah yeah.
When I'm looking, I can't find you,
Never there, when you leave it all behind you,
Come prepared, when tomorrow I'll be sorry,
But the way you move your body,
The way you move your body, yeah.
You flow easier than running water,
And, you deceive when it serves you better,
Just like a clown behind painted faces,
Soon to see you won't leave any traces.
Painted faces,
Any traces,
Painted faces.
The lyrics to Pacific Dub's "Painted Faces" describe the singer's struggle in a relationship with a person who is difficult to trust, and who hides their true personality behind a facade of painted faces. The opening lines ask the listener to "come find what is mine," suggesting that the singer has lost something important that can only be retrieved with the help of another person. The line "you flow easier than running water" suggests that the other person is very good at adapting to different situations and masking their true intentions. The lyrics continue to describe the deceptive nature of this person, as they "deceive when it serves you better," and are "just like a clown behind painted faces."
The chorus provides some insight into the singer's perspective, as they ask the other person to "show me all that I need for now," and "take me high when I'm feeling down." Despite acknowledging that the other person is not trustworthy, the singer still desires their companionship and connection. However, the repeated line "that is your mistake" implies that the other person will eventually regret not valuing the singer's trust and needs.
The final verse describes the singer's frustration as they try to find the other person, only to find that they have disappeared without a trace. The line "but the way you move your body" suggests that the other person is perhaps using physical attraction or intimacy to manipulate the singer, adding to the complexity of the relationship.
Overall, "Painted Faces" is a poignant reflection on the difficulty of trust and emotional vulnerability in relationships, and the ways in which people can hide behind masks to avoid being truly known.
