‘I Still See Your Face’ discusses what could be the loss of a loved one or a relationship that has come to an end – the band leave this decision up to the listener. With a pop style songwriting approach and an original arrangement to contrast this, ‘I Still See Your Face’ showcases the progression of THM’s soundscape. Before the last chorus, a bridge section displays new influences to their sound reminiscent of early 2000s American rap – a throbbing drum groove with a soaring distorted bass pattern to compliment. The song is book ended up with the main riff opening and closing the song just like personal motifs in a relationship.
