Faces
Young Chozen feat. Aaron Brown & Marksman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would you agree that we're far from all right?
(We fall below the line! We fall below the standards)
If only you could see
What we see through these eyes
(This plague is spreading, it will sink under your skin)

I won't believe the horror that I see
Is more than your poison inside me

Let's tear away these faces we hide behind
Cutting through the airwaves
Open up our minds
Show ourselves to the world tonight
Cause we are.. No longer in disguise

Well, I’m aware of your lies, how do you sleep at night?
(It's all a matter of time, I think their catching on)
You dream of wars, that I refuse to fight
(While people disappear, another broken heart)

I won't believe the horror that I see
Is more than your poison inside me
I won't let go, though the plague is spreading
I won't let go

Let's tear away these faces we hide behind
Cutting through the airwaves
Open up our minds
Show ourselves to the world tonight
Cause we are… No longer in disguise

We can save ourselves
(Rise Up!)
You can't stop us
We can save our soul
(Rise Up!)
We don’t need your help
We can save ourselves
(Rise Up!)
You can’t stop us

Let's tear away these faces we hide behind
Cutting through the airwaves
Open up our minds
Show ourselves to the world tonight
Cause we are… No longer in disguise

Tear away these faces
Tear away these faces
Tear away these faces

We're no longer in disguise

Overall Meaning

The song "Faces" by Young Chozen featuring Aaron Brown and Marksman is a powerful call to break out of the facades and masks that we wear to conceal our true selves. The opening lines of the song set the tone by questioning if we are really okay, if we are living up to the standards we have set for ourselves. We hide behind our self-created images that we present to the world and refuse to see and acknowledge what is going on beneath the surface of our lives. The lyrics urge us to tear off these false faces, to stop hiding behind our screens, and to be honest with ourselves about who we truly are. As the song progresses, it unveils how the toxicity and lies around us have the potency to poison and corrupt us.

The chorus of the song is a call to action, encouraging us to shed our layers of pretence, to let go of the things that are holding us back, and to stand up and reveal our true faces to the world. The repeated statement, "Let's tear away these faces we hide behind, Cutting through the airwaves open up our minds, Show ourselves to the world tonight, Cause we are no longer in disguise," reinforces the idea that it's time to let go of our fears, to stand in our truths, and to be unapologetically ourselves.

Overall, the song seems to be about the importance of authenticity and vulnerability, urging us to take off our masks and reveal our true selves. It's also about recognizing the influence that negativity and dishonesty can have on our lives, and the need to let go of those toxic things to move forward.
