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
It's 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 they're catching on
And you dream of wars that I refuse to fight
While people disappear, another broken heart
And I won't believe the horror that I see
It's more than your poison inside me
I won't let go, 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, you can't stop us
(Rise up)
We can save our soul, we don't need your help
(Rise up)
We can save ourselves, you can't stop us
(Rise up)
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

"Let's tear away these faces, we hide behind"
Makes much more sense than sail.
"Cutting through the airwaves"
This song is about World War 2 and its from a german soldiers point of veiw. he is talking to the german people/troops and to hitler.
The wat begins at eh begins at the start of the song, and goes on throughout it, and ends at the end of the song. IT IS AWESOME!
here is my proof:
would u agree that were far from alright, were far below the line, were far below the standards:
he is talking about how his country(germany) is failing and that they are in the wrong
tear away these faces we hide behind, cutting through the airwaves, open up our eyes, show ourselves to the world tonight, cause we are no longer in disguise:
in world war 2, if you lived in germany u were not aloud to believe what you wanted to believe. u could only believe wat hitler believed an dhe is saying lets tell everyone what we think, let sshow ourselves to the world, lets show them the REAL germany, WERE NO LONGER IN DISUGISE!
well im aware of your lies, how do you sleep at night? its all a matter of time, i think their catching on:
he is talking about when hitler tried to trick germany into thinking the jews were the problem and hes saying, i know what your doing; its horrible. how do u sleep at night? then hes saying that he thinks germany is catching on to all hitlers lies and that its a matter of time before they turn against hitler.
you dream of wars that i refuse to fight! while people disappear, another broken heart:
german men were forced to fight for germany and he is saying NO IM NOT FIHGTING, THIS IS WRONG. I REFUSE.
then hes talking about more and more people fighting and dying and how ther are just more and more broken hearts.
If you watch the music video you can see hitler in the begining screaming. Then at the end you can see a little jewish girl who survived everything and has mud on her face. She comes out at the end because at the end of the song the war is over and she is safe.
My meaning to this song would probably have to be, that there is this person who this guy is in love with, but yet she seems to hide behind a maks and she will never expose to anyone in who she really is. And its driving this guy, well, nuts! In the lines, "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"
He's trying to tell her, "Your never going to be who you are, and until you do, it will eat at me everyday all because you wont ever tell me what your truly like!" This guy is going insane!
"Would you agree that we're far from alright?
(we fall below the line, we fall below the standard)
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"
The first line of this is saying that this dude, knows she's not happy with how she is.
And on the third line of that verse, he's trying to tell her, "You know, we that your not what you say you are, you dont have to lie to be cool, because I like you the way you are!"
And in the "Your poison inside of me" verse, he tell her its tearing at his soul because he wants her to be happy and when he sees her unhappy, it hurts him alot more then anyone else she knows the rezal her inside of herself.
"show ourselves to the world tonight
'cause we are no longer in disguise"
In this last piece, in kind of like he's telling her, "We need to get out there and show what were about! And tonight is that night!"
Thats my short meaning of the song "Faces" By Scary Kids Scaring Kids
defiantly about the effects of drugs on the people you love most.
If you've seen the music video....it some what confirms that.
It's talking about our government and loosly talks about our president.
In my opinion, it doesn't really have to do with a relationship at all.
The fact that they sing it saying "we", kinda to me says its about a group of people rising up, rather than a broken relationship between two people.
