Dead Faces
Pholhas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When It Rains To Much I Stay So Sad
My Heart Stays Wet, So Very Bad
I Ask Myself, But I Get No Answer
Why Don't My Teardrops Come To My Face?
Each Day I Do My Best To Cry
So I See The World That I Live In,
But I Only Get Laughter On Time
Composição: W. Benatti - P. Fernandes




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pholhas's song "Dead Faces" describe a sense of intense sadness and emotional instability. The singer is grappling with the weight of their own sadness, which seems to be ever-present and unrelenting. They describe their heart as being constantly wet and ask themselves why they can't seem to cry tears that actually fall from their face.


The line "Each day I do my best to cry" is particularly poignant, as it suggests a deep desire to release this overwhelming sorrow that is weighing down the singer's heart. However, despite their best efforts, they are unable to fully express their emotions in a way that feels authentic. The final line of the verse, "But I only get laughter on time," adds a layer of bitter irony to the already melancholy tone of the song.


Overall, "Dead Faces" is a powerful meditation on the experience of depression and emotional distress. The lyrics capture the sense of helplessness and hopelessness that can come with struggling to cope with these feelings, and the sense of isolation that can arise when we feel incapable of communicating our inner world to others.
