Cover art for Face Down lyrics by Family Force 5

i agree w/ xrockxlikexwhoa. i think it has to do with him being too proud, and relying too much on himself. and so when he falls face down "It's a bittersweet taste to swallow my pride". he finally realizes not to be proud [its on of the 7 deadly sins] and to trust his life in God.

I would agree. I think the whole song is about wanting to live your life for God, face down in worship and making yourself smaller so you can make God bigger.
