Song : FACE by BROCKHAMPTON

Lyrics that strike me :

“It feels like I can see the past in your eyes”

“But I got the dream and if you believe, then I can take you somewhere that is pristine”

“But I got a plan for ya, I’m taking a stand for ya, I care for ya”

Based on these three lyrics, you can tell that the song is about making someone happier or taking them to a better place in their life. The past in their eyes can be pain that they show and easily shown in their eyes.

Repetitions Noticed:

“ I just wanna love ya”

“I just wanna hold ya”

“Tell me what you’re waiting for”

Changes Noticed:

The lyrics go from making it seem like the intention is to get the other person to open up and let them change their life for the better, but once the chorus ends and BROCKHAMPTON starts the verse in a different tone and the lyrics also change to him being scared to trust and wanting nothing to do with the person he’s trying to make happier sometimes.
