Abandoned Masquerade
Unveiling the Heart's Deception: Abandoned Masquerade
Lyrics
The glitter on a paint and plaster face
The shine or attractiveness on a superficial, artificial face made of paint and plaster.
Is covering desire and disgrace
Conceals or hides feelings of longing and shame.
We could be lovers
There's a potential for a romantic relationship.
But no one suspects at all
No one suspects the possibility of a romantic connection.
Once you're inside that costume ball
Once you're part of a masked social event, the truth about individuals is obscured.
And now I'm sitting here before the mirror
The singer is reflecting in front of a mirror.
I have the skill still to disguise my tears
Despite pain, the ability to hide emotions is still present.
Then as the magic starts to fade
As the enchantment or allure diminishes,
I find myself abandoning the masquerade
The singer finds themselves letting go of the pretense or disguise.
Even though you're suffering
Even though someone is going through hardship,
You try to hide it
They attempt to conceal their pain.
And pretend you're so nonchalant
And act as if they are unconcerned or indifferent.
You can cry a pool of tears
They can cry a lot and stay near their sorrow.
And sit beside it
Perhaps then they'll realize their true desires.
Then perhaps you'll know what you want
Understand what they truly want.
I hope you never feel this much despair
Wishing that one never experiences such intense hopelessness.
Or know the meaning of that empty chair
Or comprehend the significance of an empty seat, likely indicating loss or absence.
As the illusions that we made all fall away
As the false impressions or fantasies created by individuals unravel,
In this abandoned masquerade
They are left in an abandoned or forsaken façade of pretense.
