yes, faceless can be used as a derogatory term, but it doesnt have to be. if Stapp is talkin about Christ, we know that he did exist and everything. but does anyone know exactly what he looks like? he has so much influence in peoples lives, but noone has seen him or knows what he looks like. he remains faceless, b/c we know that he has a body, but once again, we dont know what he looks like

we dont know who the facless man is exactly, but we can guess.the only way to find out is by goin to the source, which is Stapp, and you know that he wont tell us exactly what it means

the only way we will ever find out the real meaning is to ask Stapp and he will never tell us and I wouldn't want it any other way. That is possible we don't know what he looks like, in some parts of the song it appears the faceless man is Christ but in others it appears the faceless man is a deregotary term.

Very interesting. I kinda like your approach, having "Faceless" be a purely physical term. It sheds a whole new light on the song.


I didn't mean to sound argumentive or anything earlier, I just didn't feel like I was getting my point across too well.

Going along with what you said, hide, the most important interpretation of a song is the one that means the most to whoever is interpreting it.

thats true but i like to know what a song is really saying, higher for example has taken on new meaning after i found out what its about quite recently.

i found out from a christian site i think the link it christianmusic.com or perhaps christianrock.com. article said that higher is a result of a book that stapp was reading after he had this recurring nightmare, so the song is about lucid dreaming and i guess the rest of the song deals with how the world can be a better place.
