Masquerade
Unveiling Hidden Truths: The Masquerade Revealed
Lyrics
Paint your face and run around
Engaging in a disguise or pretending by painting one's face and moving around.
Dance in silky satin gowns
Dancing while wearing elegant satin gowns.
Turn my full length mirror dow-hown
Turning a full-length mirror down, possibly avoiding self-reflection or truth.
Oh you think you're safe and sound
Feeling secure and comfortable in the masquerade.
But you know what I found
Discovering something unexpected or hidden.
Base this lifetime on a lie
Building a lifetime based on a falsehood.
Which you then proceed to hide
Concealing the lie to maintain a facade.
Comes a time I can't deci-hide
Reaching a point where it becomes difficult to keep hiding the deception.
But don't you open up your eyes
A warning not to confront the truth or reality.
To think it's time that you tried to see
Suggesting it's time to acknowledge and face the truth.
Your masquerade
Referring to the deceptive act as a masquerade.
And that's an awful game to play
Pointing out the negativity and risk involved in playing the masquerade.
It's just a masquerade
Emphasizing again that it's just a masquerade.
Making you the queen of diamonds honey
Describing the person as the queen of diamonds, a symbol of wealth and prominence, but within the masquerade.
On the ace, of spa-ya-ya-yades
Referencing the playing cards, suggesting deception and games being played.
Paint your face and run around
Repeating the theme of painting one's face and moving around.
Dance in silky satin gowns
Repeating the theme of dancing in elegant satin gowns.
Turn my full length mirror dow-hown
Repeating the idea of avoiding self-reflection by turning down the mirror.
Oh you think you're safe and sound
Reiterating the feeling of safety and security in the masquerade.
I thought you'd know I'd found
Confirming the discovery of hidden truths.
It's just a masquerade
Reiterating that the deceptive act is just a masquerade.
And that's an awful game to play
Reiterating the negativity and risks associated with playing the masquerade.
It's just a masquerade
Repeating the assertion that it's just a masquerade.
Making you the queen of diamonds honey
Repeating the imagery of the person being the queen of diamonds within the masquerade.
On the ace, of spa-ya-ya-yades
Repeating the reference to playing cards, emphasizing the deceptive nature of the situation.
It's just a masquerade
Once again emphasizing that it's just a masquerade.
It's just a masquerade
Reiterating the theme that the situation is indeed a masquerade.
It's just a masquerade
Emphasizing for the third time that it's just a masquerade.
It's just a masquerade
Concluding with the repeated assertion that the situation is a masquerade.
