Radical Face - Guilt Lyrics

"Once you see what lies behind a mask, that mask will never look the same,"

Those words have stuck with me for a while now.

Who was the one evil being who disliked this?

I'm sure he can handle it, lol! It's a little different than the other songs. The percussion track (which is more pronounced here than the rest of the library) lends itself more to a singer like Cranberries' Dolores O'Riordan (who would have loved this) who could rip this out with more primal punch to it to overcome that kick and snare. Ben Cooper doesn't really sing that way. He doesn't do the vocal acrobatics like the Dolores would on the exact same track. I sure as hell would never thumbs down a song until I could write a better one, but I can see where people would on this one because people get used to one thing maybe, or they sense a disconnect with the drums standing more front and center than usual. Nothing wrong with the song at all, and I hope Radical Face doesn't become a formulaic song generator, but with Ben's sort of reflective style of singing, which is so gentle, you're kind of wondering if Dolores is out there somewhere saying "Damn it!" Sometimes I think there's no stopping the sheer volume of astonishing, amazing stuff coming out of Radical Face and Co. But this was the first piece where I wondered whether it would be 'shopped out', for lack of a better phrase, to a different style of vocalist. All that said, astonishing... as usual!

Thank you.

Seria bom se viesse no Brasil,rock in Rio,mostrar sua boa música ♥️

Beautiful music but I don't 100% get what the lyrics are saying. Could anyone be kind enough to give a short anaylzation for me? ^^'

Ben, I love your poetry!

I love your music so much. You are my favorite artist and I think everything u do is amazing. I've been listening to you for years and I'm so glad I got to discover your music. Thank you. Greetings from Costa Rica

Amazing job tooo ❤

Always has had the most beautiful lyrics. I’m currently trying to do all of these things and it’s hard. Just makes it feel better when it’s presented beautifully calming way than how empty these things feel without it. I’m so glad he’s back and sharing his journey with us. ❤️

I really love your songs. They are so lovely and completely captivating.

❤❤❤❤❤
Genial!!!

I love your work: BRILLIANT

Holy fuck, I can really feel the severus and the stone vibes. Did you ever have a plan for the rest of that story? I know you didn't write lyrics for it, but did you have the rest of the story?

really missed the new music.....glad you guys are back.

I love how everyone who watches your videos leaves 0 dislikes :)

You jinxed it. I see one dislike.

Let's hope the one person who disliked this will burn in hell.

I'm just kidding, I'm not that morbid, jeez

Why not on Google Music?! Arg. Still glad to hear it, so thanks!

Ben, this is beautiful

You are the best 👏👏👏👍👍👍

Cristo santo. Man, you're a genius.

Your voice is so soothing... and combined with the beautiful music... wonderful! :)

"just 'cause you see the storm
it doesn't mean you're ready for the rain"

Beautiful lyrics

This is so good! So happy I found this band

I thought I'd walked a thousand miles
But it was all inside my head
My feet were almost where I started off
And I couldn't tell you why I'd bled
And I'm not surprised by what was said
But it still hit me all the same
Just 'cause you see the storm
It doesn't mean you're ready for the rain

And I was dancing with my ghosts
'Cause I could never let them go
Oh, no, well I've got to
They're no longer here
And no one is watching
Sometimes your guilt just wears a face
And I would whistle in the dark
'Cause I felt safe while all alone
Well, it's time that I let all the dead be the dead
There's no honor in suffering
No reward 'cause you've bled
The rest can sort itself out

It's hard to say when things have run their course
While in the fog and still afraid
And once you see what lies behind a mask
That mask will never look the same
And once the pattern shows itself
You can't pretend that nothing's changed
It's hard to fake it when you see the steps
Before they're even made

And I was dancing with my ghosts
'Cause I could never let them go, go, go
But I've got to
They're no longer here
And no one is watching
Sometimes your guilt just wears a face
And I would whistle in the dark
'Cause I felt safe while all alone
Well, it's time that I let all the dead be the dead
There's no honor in suffering
No reward 'cause you've bled
The rest can sort itself out

Clonov 02 thank you

"And I was dancing with my ghosts cause I could never let them go". DAMN. That one hits me hard, man. Ironically, your music brings me hope<3

Uploaded at the same time as Declan McKenna.

So much love <3

What a melodic tune! Therapeutic.

Keep the therapy coming!!❤🎶

I love the melody of the chorus. So dark and sad but also catchy and memorable.

Ho man, I'm first. That's a first...

I'm fourth...
...and yet that's oddly satisfying, too.

I was first on the last video and had the same feeling 😂😂
