Your Face In My Brain
Sara Noxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And during all the time I forgave all the promises you broke
Your face in my brain is killing my nerve
Your face in my brain is sometimes preserve
Myself from approaching, of violent force
Myself from confusion, from inner discord
Your face in my brain is killing my nerve
Your face in my brain forever reserved
The gloom that I find - Your face in my brain
Landing, now I'm lag behind you
And recall to the lips that I kissed so many times
Stranding, you're encroached and argue
And recall to the lips that you covered with crime
You covered with crime
The lyrics of Sara Noxx's song "Your Face In My Brain" present a complex and tumultuous relationship that the singer is having trouble letting go of. The first lines, "Stroke me/And during all the time I forgave all the promises you broke," suggest that the relationship was once passionate and perhaps even physically intimate, but the singer has been hurt repeatedly by unfulfilled promises.
The refrain, "Your face in my brain is killing my nerve/Your face in my brain is sometimes preserve," seems to suggest that even though the singer is trying to move on and forget the hurt, the memory of the ex-lover's face is both painful and impossible to shake. This paradoxical feeling of both wanting to preserve and forget is expressed in the lines, "Myself from approaching, of violent force/Myself from confusion, from inner discord."
The second verse continues with the imagery of physical distance and emotional confusion, with the singer feeling like she is falling behind while the ex-lover is moving on. However, the memory of the kisses and intimacy is still vivid ("And recall to the lips that I kissed so many times"), but now tainted by the realization that it was all "covered with crime." This final line leaves the listener to wonder what exactly the ex-lover did to betray the trust of the singer, and why the memory of their face is so painful yet so hard to shake.
