About This Track
'Face Up' by Lights is a 2009 pop track from the album 'The Listening'. The lyrics set a late-night, tired mood, with a speaker wishing for small comfort while feeling stuck, then pushed into motion anyway. There is a sense of reluctant urgency, the pull between wanting to stay still and having to go, even as the desire to “feel alive” keeps tugging underneath. The song’s emotional engine is that daily friction: exhaustion, self-protection, and the thin determination to keep going.
"Face Up" is a track by Lights, from the album The Listening, released 21st September 2009. The track is 3:26 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Lights.
