Charade
Unveiling the Masks of Love: "Charade" Meaning Explored
Lyrics
When we played our charade
When we engaged in our deceptive act
We were like children posing
We behaved like innocent children pretending
Playing at games, acting out names
Playing various roles in games, pretending to be different characters
Guessing the parts we played
Trying to guess the roles we were playing
Oh what a hit we made
Reflecting on the success of our performance
We came on next to closing
We appeared towards the end of the show
Best on the bill, lovers until
Considered the best act, lovers until
Love left the masquerade
Love ended the pretense or facade
Fate seemed to pull the strings
Fate appeared to control the situation
I turned and you were gone
I looked, and you had disappeared
While from the darkened wings
Meanwhile, from the hidden and mysterious aspects
The music box played on
The music box continued to play
Sad little serenade
A melancholic musical piece or expression of feelings
Song of my heart's composing
A song composed by my heart
I hear it still, I always will
I still hear it, and I always will
Best on the bill
Considered the best act
Charade
The deceptive act or pretense
