“Strangest Faces” is the lead single for Bayside’s untitled ninth LP. It was released on May 12th, 2022
The song follows the theme of losing connection with a loved one and seeing the ugly parts of the relationship instead of the positives; a theme that Anthony Raneri has written on previous songs...
[Intro]
I have seen the strangest faces, yellow teeth and scary eyes
It turns out they've been there all my life, life, life, life
[Chorus]
I have seen the strangest faces, yellow teeth and scary eyes (Scary eyes)
It turns out they've been there all my life (Life, life, life)
It's hard to find a friendly face when you've got nothing left to sell (Left to sell)
Looks like Heavеn, why's it hot as Hell? (Hell, Hell, Hеll)
[Verse]
A clean escape, is that what you're offering?
Well, I'll fuck it up 'cause that's what I do
May we part as lovers and die as friends
It's a million-dollar view
To drown in the ocean with you
[Chorus]
I have seen the strangest faces, yellow teeth and scary eyes (Scary eyes)
It turns out they've been there all my life (Life, life, life)
It's hard to find a friendly face when you've got nothing left to sell (Left to sell)
Looks like Heaven, why's it hot as Hell? (Hell, Hell, Hell)
[Bridge]
I'm starting to see the point they make
And if the good part ever starts, I hope I'm still awake
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I have seen the strangest faces, yellow teeth and scary eyes (Scary eyes)
It turns out they've been there all my life (Life, life, life)
It's hard to find a friendly face when you've got nothing left to sell (Left to sell)
Looks like Heaven, why's it hot as Hell? (Hell, Hell, Hell)
