Faces
ed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He dragged you through the street
And you laughed at the faces who swore you were wrong
Before you kicked your feet
And the voices would stay until the very end
The only thing left you could call a true friend
And the grin on your face was not merely pretending to greet
The faces in the street
You thought that he told you the things you must know
You trusted the words he had said
Until the cold day they brought you away from the tree that would soon be dead
He said he cared so much for you
But all those letters you read were not true
So now you must know that the only thing left to do
Is escape the hospital bed
Escape the hospital bed
Escape the hospital bed
You sang when the man came to take you away
He dragged you through the street
And you laughed at the faces who swore you were wrong
Before you kicked your feet
And the voices would stay until the very end
The only thing left you could call a true friend
And the grin on your face was not merely pretending to greet
The faces in the street
The lyrics to Ed's song "Faces" tell a story about a person who is being taken away forcefully by a man. Despite this, they maintain a sense of amusement and laughter, mocking the faces of those who doubted them. The voices they hear become a source of comfort, their only true friends, until the end. The singer mentions that the person being taken away believed in the words of someone they trusted, only to later find out they were deceived. This betrayal leads them to realize that their only option is to escape from the confinement of a hospital bed.
The song explores themes of deception, trust, and resilience. The person being taken away has faced adversity and ridicule, yet they maintain a certain defiance, finding solace in the voices that accompany them. The hospital bed can be seen as symbolizing their confinement or the limitations imposed on them by others. By expressing their desire to escape, they seek freedom from these restrictions and the falsehoods they have encountered.
Overall, "Faces" presents a narrative of someone who has been wronged but refuses to be defeated, showing strength in the face of adversity and a determination to regain control of their own life.
