Dying Face
Perzonal War Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Speak out words
Let's break the silence
But there is no one to listen to
Seconds turn to minutes,
Hours to days,
But still a single word is missing

Is it he who looks into his own face
And calls himself a liar?
Is it he who is blaming all around
And will I light the torch to my own pyre?

Dream on-never ending
Feel your eyes get filled with sand
Dream on-never ending
Broken dreams-your only friend

Is it he who looks into his own face
And calls himself a liar?
Is it he who is blaming all around
And will I light the torch to my own pyre?

Buried deep in your emotions
Locked out is the truth
Hidden in a self made black-A desert cold-
You are loosing youth

Just a single word would change the situation
But there is ignorance and a price...

Is it he who looks into his own face
And calls himself a liar?
Is it he who is blaming all around




And will I light the torch to my own pyre?
Feeding your resignation

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Perzonal War's song "Dying Face" are a commentary on the struggle that many individuals face when trying to speak out about their innermost thoughts and emotions. The song opens with a call to break the silence and speak out, but the singer laments that there is no one to listen. The passage of time is also discussed, with seconds turning into minutes, and hours into days, yet still, the individual feels that something is missing.


The chorus of the song is a powerful reflection on the internal struggle of the individual. The lyrics ask whether it is the individual themselves who is the cause of their own problems, or whether they are simply blaming those around them. The mention of lighting the torch to their own pyre adds a metaphorical element to the song, suggesting that the individual may be self-destructive in their behavior. The use of the phrase "dream on" is also significant, as it speaks to the idea that the individual is living in a world of shattered dreams.


The final verse is a reflection on the struggle to find truth and authenticity in a world that often values ignorance and conformity. The lyrics suggest that buried deep in our emotions is the truth, but we are often locked out from accessing it. This self-made "desert cold" represents the isolation that many feel when trying to break free from societal norms and find their own path. The song ultimately feeds into a sense of resignation, as the individual realizes that change may be difficult or impossible to achieve.
