BUILDING BLUEPRINT
Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Faces
- I met someone after ages yesterday,
- Bare facts had, in time, long faded away,
- Name, voice, and history were all a haze,
- But ah, I knew I surely knew that face.
- Life and genes equally shape our visage,
- Prints or dental X rays aren't our image,
- Our skull's nimble cover of muscle and skin,
- Conjures like magic the person within.
- Which forehead or eyes, mouth or chin,
- What sort of skin or teeth, cheekbones or grin,
- Make a Monroe, Hepburn, Pitt, or Clooney?
- Who is handsome? What is beauty?
- Sensual mobile lips are unmissable,
- As objects of desire so kissable,
- But it's clearly eyes that loudest speak,
- All ours the same, yet each so unique!
- Why do some eyes shine, others seem dead,
- Through lovers’ locked eyes, so much is said,
- Is it physics or our souls' chemistry,
- Oh, what a delectable mystery!
- Beard and turban old aids for men manly,
- Rouge, paint, trinkets for girls to be lovely,
- But plastic and Botox, is it wise?
- Leave off self loathing, you can smile and rise.
- We're born face readers, see at a glance,
- Who's shifty, trusty, friendly, worth a chance,
- Steal gazes at someone tempting in the crowd,
- To catch being looked at makes us smugly proud.
- Our facade shapes us, but we sculpt it, too,
- As we grow inside, it reveals us true,
- Buddha's peace, Gandhi's love, Mandela's grit,
- In their countenance, we see their spirit.
- Once our faces told of our nation and tribe,
- To modern life and migration ascribe,
- Why features now come in such rich array,
- Your face contains a world; what does it say?
