CREED - FACELESS MAN *REACTION*

[@adamgwin81]

You really need to start a Creed playlist and react to all their songs. They will speak to you. With Scott Stapp and his Christian background from his start with the band to his very public breakdown of mental illness in life to now back on the good side life with his solo work.

Completely agree. Creed is an amazing band. I’d love to see “what if” reaction if it’s not been done yet

[@butterflymama12869]

I have never been into heavy rock, but back in the 90's this band just "got me". I love Scott Stapp's voice so much. He can be so gentle and perfect and then hard and edgy when need be. So many people put them down and said they were a crappy band. Those people OBVIOUSLY never really LISTENED to the ir music. So much good Christian music out there that people don't give a chance just because it's " Christian". Great reaction!

[@sarahmcdowell6618]

Man Devin, after over 22 years of hearing this song, it still gives me goosebumps. Powerful. Off this same album, give Inside Us All a listen. The guitar solo is 100% 🔥

[@ghostfacescrillaNG]

This that kind of song where you’re struggling to complete a run and when those drums hit you smash it. So uplifting.

[@msawyer269]

In an interview with Scott "Flip" Phillips, the drummer, he said of all the songs on the album, this was his favorite to play. As a drummer myself I can see why. Still think this album has the best snare drum sound I've ever heard.

[@jordanloa10]

"What If" by Creed is great, along with "Wrong Way."

[@farwoodfarm9296]

Wrong way is terrific great recommendation

[@MegaMrbighead]

When Scott Stapp is singing about standing "against" the faceless man, he is not meaning he is standing in opposition to him, but rather facing him. Standing "against" or "over against" as it is in the Bible means "on the opposite side of" someone or something facing them, or facing in their direction.

[@sgb.3999]

Creed is back for Summer Cruise of '99. My Creed's most underrated song and powerful.

[@dealy9268]

I grew up in a Christian home. I was a teenager in the 80's/90's. I was a Christian headbanger/hockey player. (long hair coming out o my helmet) I grew up on STRYPER, Bloodgood, Barron Cross, White Cross, Petra, Etc.... After the dim dull Grunge eara of music, Creed was breath of fresh air musically. And then you add lyrics like this! BAM!!! I love singing this song! Tears well up during the part- Next time I see this face I'll say, I choose to live for always. So won't you come inside and NEVER go away..... You gotta listen to some of Scott Stapps solo stuff. You will go through the honest inner struggle that he has gone through. Oh and Please react to some New and old Stryper. They are still going strong!!!!!

[@NGinuity]

"It's funny how silence speaks sometimes when you're alone, and remember that you feel" hits really close to home for me and I can never seem to make it through that part unphased.

[@johnnyadamany]

Stryper is absolutely killer!!!

[@SiFuJasper]

Standing “against” the Faceless Man is not used to mean enemy. Think of standing against a wall. If the wall is removed, you fall. The word “against” is used as critical support, not as contention. Many blessings to you and the growth of your channel!

[@witchnoseartosis2452]

The faceless man is NOT Jesus, its your own ego. Its faceless because everyone has it. The facelessness implies it can be ANYONES face. I remember the singer, Scott, in an interview a long time ago on MTV saying the faceless man is the part of him that sins, the "egoic-self" were his exact words. The words of the song make total sense when you know what he wrote it about. Jesus was sent here to teach us to control our ego... And as destined, the Human ego got him killed. The irony. It makes sense that you stand against your own ego, as Christians battle sin and temptation all the time, as if its a person that isnt you, but its you, lol. My favorite part is; "Next time I see this face... Ill say, I choose to live, always... So why dont you come inside and never go away." This is choosing to follow Gods word in the face of temptation and going home, to heaven...

[@kimberlyrager1651]

@@witchnoseartosis2452 Yes it does mean Jesus!!! He is referred to in the Bible in one verse calling him the Faceless man and it specifically says His yoke is easy and his burden is light!

[@WafleEnterprises]

@@salvohatteras8327It is, but the “faceless man” is not referring to Him. In the song, he references seeing a face in the water, this refers to Jesus. The whole verse there refers back to the Son of Man, right there. So in the song, Jesus has a face. So the faceless man part isn’t referring to Jesus, it is like the other guy described. It is yourself, the carnal, egotistic part of yourself that is man - because it’s you - but is also not a person in the same we you are. You have a face, your ego doesn’t. At least, using the interpretation of the song.

With as much hate Creed gets i absolutely love this band, I can darn near sing every song! Pleased react to more of them!

[@farwoodfarm9296]

I don’t know why people hate them. I’m a musician and I don’t get it, Mark Tremonti is one of the best Alt Rock/Metal guitarists out there. Scott Stapp writes great lyrics. Scott had some substance abuse issues that put the band into hiatus plus he was a bit of an ego maniac, but big deal there are plenty of bands that this has happened too.

[@foster7517]

This song means alot to me i had a dream one time that felt real and i remember every detail..a cloaked man was holding me in his arms by a stream and i couldnt see his face and i didnt know him but i felt incredibly peacefull and from the parts of his face i could see he kinda looked like me but perfect and i asked who he was and he said im you and it blew my mind..he then told me words ill never forget these words are always with me when i go through bad times those words were everythings going to be ok.

[@kingexclusivo]

This band was something else, their lyrics mean so much

[@newmama0508]

I met my husband through our love of Creed. We were thousands of miles and an ocean apart. We’ve been together 20 years now and have three kiddos. In the split of SS and AB, we went to Alter Bridge and Tremonti instead. We will always have love for Creed. Our song that we love is “My Sacrifice” I hope that’ll you listen to that someday for us. 💞

[@ianjarvis4767]

"I got a hunch now... I got a hunch about who the faceless Man is". His yoke is easy and His burden is light... only one Man. The Lord and savior Jesus

[@ozkrhills9624]

Release me from pearl jam...just can be more deep and profound that this such a beauty song

[@calebwalters2841]

The song and band that has gotten me through so many hard times in life, and by far the most underrated Creed song through all of their four albums. Thank you! While this song obviously has some very deep Christian meaning and undertone, I also think it can be applied to anyone in life. The faceless man can be your conscience judging you, an incomplete vision/molding of yourself and who you want to be, good vs evil, etc. Standing “against” the faceless man may be a crutch, as in leaning on the person you want to be, or it may literally be standing against the face of evil and wrongdoing. So many different ways to interpret the lyrics, with or without Christian context. Scott Stapp said this is the song that truly reveals what Creed is/was about. If I had to request another underrated Creed song, it’d be “Never Die.”

[@harryviv]

Jake you just nailed it! This is how I’ve interpreted this song all along. He was saved the moment he saw the image of Jesus in the water and made the decision to stand as a new creation with Jesus against his old self who waivered against doing what was right because enemy had a hold of him and appeared to him as the faceless man.

[@Padawanpryce]

As a Christian man, this song makes me cry almost every time. Praise God fr. PS: Idk if you know about Scott's struggle, but he was abused growing up, was on drugs while in Creed, lost his singing voice, Creed disbanded, and finally he fully gave himself to Jesus and got his famous voice back plus his family back. He is such a great person to listen to man and so inspiring. You should watch him on the Theo Von podcast. God bless man!

That was a horrible person, cold with lost stare, without a face...i always say that this song save me for that way, i leave all my vices thank to God, and Creed...this song man, reminds me my old me...

He basically had to put the meaning in a code because he couldn't just come out and say who the faceless man was or it would never be heard or even recorded.

Hi there brother. I know I'm late to the party but, I grew up on Creed. I was born in 1988. My very first song from Creed was their hit single "My Own Prison". I just have to say that it's so awesome to see someone else besides me, getting pumped up when they hear them. Just a little advice, listen to their song "OVERCOME". PS. I stay in Crawfordville Florida. 20 miles from where Creed formed their band.

Incredible song

[@matthewwhelan7305]

As a Christian, it is possible for us to occasionally be against God when we choose to do what is wrong. Yet he loves us anyways and through the Holy Spirit living in us, we repent and come back to Him. This song is about the walk we face between good and evil as Christians.

[@jimprzybylowicz9737]

Here's my interpretation, and the meaning that I got out of the song. I believe that the faceless man is evil of any sort. The face in the water is his own reflection, but the reflection shows as the holy spirit that is still within him. So now he must make a choice to follow the light inside him (Holy Spirit) or walk alone on a path to evil where he may never make it back home (Heaven). He chose to live always and do what's right, and he will fight to stand against the faceless man (evil of any kind) again and again because of his faith. The next time that he sees this face (Holy Spirit), he will tell him to come inside his soul and never go away.

You missed out man. This album made Creed the number one band on the planet. This was back when you could hear legit Rock on mainstream radio. YOU HAVE TO DO HIGHER. Higher is what made Creed sell out stadiums and was played everywhere. The tragedy of Creed is that by the third ablum Brian had left the band and Scott Stapp had seemingly become a trainwreck. He was drunk at concerts, ect. So the band broke up. It wasnt until the last few years that we, and Scott too figured out the truth. Scott in 2016 posted a bunch of seemingly crazy videos where he was saying the country was going to be invaded and a bunch of other conspiracy theories about how he was being followed and monitored by the government. Once he was safely apprehended, he was diagnosed as being bi-polar. And knowing that now, his drug use and drinking back in the Creed days, were his self-medicating his undaignosed bipolar disorder. People with undiagnosed bipolar disorder tend to use drugs when they are feeling depressed but then drink when they are feeling manic. So yeah. Its sad too because he was always labeled a trainwreck for ruining Creed.

[@tinakeith5822]

You’re very close on the meaning. The faceless man is the devil. Song starts out being alone in the wilderness like Jesus was in the Bible when he was tempted. The face in the water is Jesus (face on the water/he walked on water). The “Will of a Warrior” represents the Holy Spirit, in you as the Bible says your yoke is easy and your burden is light. Standing against the faceless man is fighting temptation and the one with a face is Jesus. Hope that helps!! Awesome song and awesome video!
