Faceless
Red Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A voice screaming from within
Begging just to feel again
Can't find who I am without you near me
I'd give anything to live
Cause without you I don't exist
Your the only one who saves me from myself
I abandoned this love and laid it to rest
And now I'm one of the forgotten

I'm not, I'm not myself
Feel like I'm someone else
Fallen and faceless
So hollow, hollow inside
A part of me is dead
Need you to live again
Can you replace this
I'm hollow, hollow and faceless

Shadows growing in my mind
Ones I just can't leave behind
I'm not strong enough to pay this ransom
One more monster crawled inside
But I swear I saw it die
Can you save me from the nothing I've become
I abandoned this love and laid it to rest
And now I'm one of the forgotten

I'm not, I'm not myself
Feel like I'm someone else
Fallen and faceless
So hollow, hollow inside
A part of me is dead
Need you to live again
Can you replace this
I'm hollow, hollow and faceless

I'm faceless
I'm hollow and faceless

We are the faceless
We are the nameless
We are the hopeless
Until we have faces

I'm not, I'm not myself
Feel like I'm someone else
Fallen and faceless
So hollow, hollow inside
A part of me is dead
Need you to live again
Can you replace this
I'm hollow, hollow and faceless

Overall Meaning

The song “Faceless” by Red is about a person who is lost and empty without their loved one. The song is an ode to how one person’s life can feel meaningless and insignificant when they are left alone. The opening lines of the song describe a voice that is screaming from within and is begging to feel again. This is a melancholic portrayal of someone who has lost their inner voice, their spirit, and their zest for life. The singer in the song says they can’t find who they are without their loved one near them, and implies that they are struggling to come to terms with an emptiness that has taken over them. They go on to say that without their loved one, they don't exist.


The song then moves on to describe how the singer has abandoned their love, buried it and laid it to rest. The song ends with the singer hoping that someone can help them replace the emptiness in their life, so they can feel alive again. Whereas “Faceless” is a sad and depressing song, it’s also a hopeful song. It’s a reminder that even when we feel hopeless, the right person can help us overcome our troubles and give us the strength to keep on going.
