Reviews for Face Down Lyrics

I almost cried when I heard this song for the first time... no wait, I did cry. I looked up some info, and apparently, someone in the RJA (I think it was the singer) had an abusive father, and the father beat up his wife, so I'm guessing this song was made out of the perspective of the person.

my sister was in an abusive relationship not just physically but emotionally. after the 3rd or so break up he told she wasnt wanted on this earth anymore. she got really sad and ended up hanging herself in the backyard that night... ladys dont let them mess with you, get someone to deal for it for you. lets just say that guy got what was coming to him

This is more than just some song. it really means something. well it means alot to me. its about being abused and not speaking up. and ur friend is worried about u. dont take crap from anyone. (oh and if anyone wants to talk to me, look me up on myspace:pepsibabe105@yahoo.com)

This is a sad song, it's obvious. What makes it sad is that some people have deal with this every day of their life. I'm just glad that all my friends that are girls are to aggressive to put up with it if they ever get in this situation. And if they do get scared, I'll go to talk to their counselor for them.

last year i had a friend who was in this type of relationship.when i found out bout it i got rreally mad but she told me not to tell.for weeks after that i saw the burises kept getting worse and i found out it was going on for almost a YEAR.i also found out someother things that made me want to puke,yell and kill the dude.i told someone and she hated me for it but at least shes still here and thats all that matters.were cool now but she still to this day hasnt told me the guys full name and whether he go introuble but it aint happining anymore as far as i know but if i ever find the guy i will freaking hospitalize him. for those who think this is meaningless im posting this as an example

for people who hav friends in situations like this no matter what that person says whether it be :dont tell or its not his fault or wat ever dont listen to them. chances are they arent gonna handle the problem themselves and leave the guys or tell someone. relationships like that 9/10 only get worse.if u find out TELL SOMEONE. dont just stand there and watch ur friend get hurt more and more.no matter what they say even if its "ill never talk to u agen" its better that they have that person be safe and not talk to u for a while than them getting killed or something and not talk to you forever.
and if ur in a relationship no matter who its is tahts abusive to you PLZ tell someone.ur screwing urself up if u dont.trust me if u get help things will fix themselves as long as u stay away from that person.get a restraining order call the cops talk to someone who u know can help u.it may seem hard to let go of whoever it is hurting but in the end its worth it.

ive been thru this crap and its no fun so for anyone that reads this plz take it seriously.help whoever help urself just dont sit around.i wish u all the best of luck and i hope u all can get thru ur struggles.
sincerely
someone who cares :-) god bless

The instructions for this review are: "Write your meaning for this song". OK. Here is my meaning.

Someone who is being abused is in denial. She doesn't believe that person is abusing her. Another person is standing by watching this, trying to get her to see what is happening to her. Eventually she sees the truth. "Lies crumble down"

Yep. Sounds like last 5 months of ninth grade. They were fucking hell, being jerked around, lead on a string to one conclusion: everything is my fucking fault. I'm worthless, and I don't deserve anything. People can't treat me however the hell they want and I don't have the right to speak up. I don't make a difference.

The friend on the sidelines, for me, helped me get out of my situation. Now, a few months later (summer between Gr. 9 and Gr. 10), after the 5 month period this was happening, I'm still piecing my life back together, little by little. It's going to take a helluva long time, and I'm still worthless in my opinion. I'm trying to stop cutting still, which I started as a method of coping (its an addiction, which is healthier than some others I can mention), and can now see how depressed I was. At one point, I even considered suicide as a means to get out. And I never, ever, take it for granted that someone will stop if I say "No."

To me, what happened to me isn't worth mentioning. I'm not even worth mentioning. The person that saved my life is still sticking around to catch me when I fall, even though I don't see why. I should be alone, having to stop myself from falling apart. If I can't do it, then I shouldn't ask someone esle to do it. And if I can do it, then I should be the one doing it, not somone else. It's not fair of me to ask him to keep holding my world together when I can't. And for that, I'm still surprised. It was not expected, but it was welcomed. Thank you, Matt.

I'm not saying this to get pity, or have someone feel sorry for me. I'm saying it to encourage those of you out therre in situations like this song to get out of them. I know I don't make a difference, and I don't even see why you're wasting your time with something I wrote, but I have to try.

This song has brought back many memorys and its so sad to see that so many people feel the same as its such a deppressing song though sadly so many people can relate as they have been though it or are going though it! Im sorry to anyone that comes to this situation, Leave him or her god damitt it messed me up ill never be the same even with the man im with im still scared... I wont ever have the trust i once had for men.. and its kno ones fault but your own for staying. anyway blabbering on amazing song..

This song is sooo depressing but i love it... reminds me of the girl i once had really strong feelings for and felt sorry for her coz her BF always abused her... it got so bad that one day i finally stepped in and hospitalized the guy... that was 8 yrs ago and me and that girl are together now =) we couldnt be happier

This song makes me feel like shit :/ i think i'm about to turn abusive but I really don't want to :[ i grabbed her by the wrists in rage today :/ I've asked her to leave me if I ever do it again but she says she'll never leave me, no matter what. I'm scared for her. i need some help before I really turn abusive, i think without this song I wouldn't of noticed, so it's probably saved her from an abusive relationship... i just dunno anymore.....

This song came out and i too was in an abusive relationship. He used to beat me because he said i was too pretty for any1 else and that i ought to b ugly to learn sum manners. i didnt put up wif it and usually got beaten worse and then i herd this song, i dumped him and pressed charges and now i am in a great relationship wif a guy who truly loves me
THANKS RJA!!!!
U GUYS FUKING ROCK!!
love ya

this song is AMAZING.
i fell in love with it the first time i heard it.
it's lyrics are so true.
i recently found out that a friend of mine experienced this type of situation when we were listening to the song, and it broke my heart for her and every other girl that has to go through this. but its message is 100% true, you don't have to take it. no one deserves this type of treatment. So RJA, thanks for putting this type of song out there! Ya'll rock! :)

i was going through an abusive relationship with a guy around when this song came out. he would call me fat and hit me, then make me apologize to him for everything i'd done to deserve it. i was terrified of him and the fact that if i tried to leave, he'd hurt me even more. this song helped me get the courage to stand up to him and walk out, and my friends helped me get a new apartment and find a new life. thank you so much rja :] you guys are incredible.

this song is mine when i was just 3yrs old my mom died in a car accident and my dad thought it was my fault she died. he used to hit her and still say baby i love you forgive me,now im gowing through the same thing i said a few days ago u know what stuff this im not gonna get abbused my whole life. im only 12yrs old i got a restion from him now im with a foster family that are great so yeh PLEASE IF THIS HAPPENS TO U DNT LET IT CONTINUE ITS ONLY GONNA GET WORSE this song is the thing that made me do what i did so i just wanna say thnx The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus u guys are greatu defenetly changed my life.:]

This song helped me soooo much with the abuse that I was going through with my step father. Not only was he verbally abusing me but he was also beating on me. The song helped me through the tough times and helped me finally stand up to my step father...

This song is amazing! RJA is my favorite band because of songs like this that really speak a story of what happens in life. My sister is friends with a girl who was abused by her boyfriend and this song came out around that time. We told her about it, and it really opened her eyes. She ended up leaving him.

BTW-those are the lyrics to the scream version not the one on the CD but.........eh.
