About This Track

'Face On' by IDER is a 2017 indie pop track from the album 'Gut Me Like an Animal - EP'. The lyrics look out from a close, restless viewpoint, sketching someone pulled into a small-town cycle of recognition, disappointment, and bad coping, with a speaker trying to keep composure while things are clearly not coping. A line like “Baby, moved to my town” captures the sense of proximity becoming pressure, as acquaintanceship slides into critique and the relationship between public performance and private feeling starts to fray.

"Face On" is a single by IDER, from the album Gut Me Like an Animal - EP, released 30th March 2017. The track is 3:43 long. It's filed under Indie Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about IDER.

Lyrics

Face On

Baby, moved to my town just to watch me let him go
I'd rather I didn't know
Turned up to my work to tell me what a small world
I'm just around the corner or so
Sucking on a cigarette like the things I want to smoke must be joking
Talking up my sleeve like this heart is hardly coping, I get [?]

No, I can't, no, I can't, I'm letting over again
Pull my hair out, I'm so tied up in the shit we pretend
I'll put my face on, you'll be the waste man that I know I failed
Don't you know I cannot believe you? But I think I need you,
I wish I could be [?]

You're so sentimental, tryina keep it so real
You don't know how I really feel
Telling me I'm mental like it's not a big deal
But I'm the one who gave you the wheel
Flicking through my memories in case I must be wasting
I'll go crazy
If I don't recognized me, I look jaded, my identity is hazy

No, I can't, no, I can't, I'm letting over again
Pull my hair out, I'm so tied up in the shit we pretend
I'll put my face on, you'll be the waste man that I know I failed
Don't you know I cannot believe you? But I think I need you,
I wish I could be [?]

Look at the people we're playing
So make believe
I wish the best for you
But now that [?] about me
Look at the damage we did
But you won't go down
You put the bullet in my pocket
Watch yourself out

No, I can't, no, I can't, I'm letting over again
Pull my hair out, I'm so tied up in the shit we pretend
No, I can't, no, I can't, I'm letting over again
Pull my hair out, I'm so tied up in the shit we pretend
I'll put my face on, you'll be the waste man that I know I failed
Don't you know I cannot believe you? But I think I need you,
I wish I could be [?]
