100 faces

from 100 Faces by Lilou & John

about

"100 Faces" came to life under one single afternoon and tells the story of commercialism and surrogate meaning. It deals with the conflict within the individual trying to be herself and at the same time trying to fit in. After John had written the lyrics, the duo sat down together and Lilou created a melody while John was strumming four chords repeatedly.

lyrics

You think you know the part of me that is not skin and bone
Trapped behind my hundred faces I am all alone
I stare out through a veil of glass that's never gonna break
On the outside I am just the one you want – a fake

Rainy day
The umbrellas are up and running all along the street
First of may
Puddles of water splashed onto my naked feet
I walk alone
I wear no clothes I wear no make up no perfume
Just a dream
Where I can be the one no one has ever seen

You think you know the part of me that is not skin and bone
Trapped behind my hundred faces I am all alone
I stare out through a veil of glass that's never gonna break
On the outside I am just the one you want – a fake

Bird of prey
I walk into the park and see the hawk with silicon eyes
Seize the day
Be hungry for more and passionate and live your life
Polished chrome
My face is like a 50's big American car
Just a dream
I am a faded memory a perfect sunshine machine

You think you know the part of me that is not skin and bone
Trapped behind my hundred faces I am all alone
I stare out through a veil of glass that's never gonna break
On the outside I am just the one you want – a fake

A fake
A fake
A fake
A fake
