Long Face Lyrics – Lestat De Lioncourt

Long Face Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro with its repetitive “Ooh Ooh Ooh” and “Wah Ahhh” creates a haunting, almost hypnotic atmosphere, setting the stage for the song’s dark, playful vibe.

[Verse 1]
The first verse plays with the idea of vampiric imagery and a theatrical persona. The singer, with “long fangs,” seems unfazed by threats, like wooden stakes, showing confidence. They talk about their dramatic and fluctuating emotions, particularly after breakups, and question why their choices in partners should matter to others. The playful tone and repeated phrases add a whimsical touch to the dark theme.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, the singer contrasts musical terms to describe their relationship dynamics, emphasizing differences and changes. Terms like “piano” and “forte” symbolize contrasts in their interactions, while “bolèro” and “prostituè” hint at complex, perhaps morally ambiguous themes.

[Chorus]
The chorus reflects on the passage of time and life’s cycles, with phrases about new experiences, tears, and disappearances. It suggests a sense of relentless movement and change, mixing fun with a darker undertone. The repeated call for “fun” contrasts with the underlying fears and losses.

[Bridge]
The bridge is an energetic and repetitive outburst, emphasizing excitement and anticipation. The repeated “Oh yeah we’re coming” suggests a build-up of intensity or a climax, celebrating the moment with a sense of urgency and exuberance.
