The Masquerade
Unmasking the Soul: A Journey of Redemption in Interantics' 'The Masquerade'
Lyrics
The world is changing around me
The speaker perceives a changing world around them.
Can't feel the way I felt yesterday
They can't emotionally connect with their past feelings.
Some things I should've seen back in time
Regrets about missed opportunities or insights in the past.
There's a list of names wish I never wrote
Feelings of regret about past actions or choices reflected in a list of names they wish they hadn't associated with.
The hearts of those who tried to know
Expresses sorrow for those who attempted to understand the speaker's true self.
The true colors of my soul and I let go
The speaker acknowledges letting go of their true self or identity.
Sleepless night and broken glasses
References to insomnia and broken relationships or situations.
Falling over and over again
Repeated failures or mistakes leading to a sense of constant falling or stumbling.
Feels like stucked in repeat
Feeling trapped in a cycle of repetition or stagnation.
I'm not running away
Declaring a refusal to escape from difficulties.
Turn down the masquerade
Desire to stop pretending or wearing a façade.
Cause I'm losing myself
The speaker feels they are losing their true self.
I got tired of pretend
Expressing exhaustion from pretending or hiding their true feelings.
I hope you know I'm sorry in the end
Apologizing for their actions or the consequences they've caused.
Turn down the masquerade
Reiterating the need to stop pretending.
Cause I'm driving myself to nowhere
Feeling directionless or purposeless.
Maybe is not to late to make things right for real
Hope for a chance to genuinely correct past mistakes.
Do you know what's it like when you try and crash
Describing the feeling of attempting something with the expectation of failure.
But now there's nothing to hide behind
Realizing there's nothing left to hide behind, possibly indicating a sense of vulnerability.
Won't lie to myself I rather open up my heart
Choosing honesty over self-deception.
I'm paying debts to everybody
Expressing a need to repay debts or make amends to others.
Throne is crumbling
Symbolic reference to the collapse of power or authority.
Now the king of broken souls is dead
Metaphorically declaring the end of a persona or identity.
I'm finally free
Feeling liberated after shedding a false persona.
Took me years to realize and look around me
Realization after years of reflection or contemplation.
I came back for you
Returning to someone or something after a significant period of absence or change.
Under the red lights
Imagery of being in a situation of heightened emotions or intensity.
Turn down the masquerade
Reiteration of the need to stop pretending.
Cause I'm losing myself
Continued loss of self-identity.
I got tired of pretend
Exhaustion from pretending or hiding true feelings.
I hope you know I'm sorry in the end
Apologizing for actions or consequences.
Turn down the masquerade
Re-emphasizing the need to stop pretending.
Cause I'm driving myself to nowhere
Feeling directionless or purposeless.
Maybe is not to late to make things right for real
Hope for a genuine chance to make things right.
Turn down the masquerade
Reiterating the need to stop pretending.
Cause I'm losing myself
Continued loss of self-identity.
I got tired of pretend
Exhaustion from pretending or hiding true feelings.
I hope you know I'm sorry in the end

Turn down the masquerade

Maybe is not to late
Leaving room for the possibility of redemption or making things right.
Maybe is not to late
Continued hope for the chance to rectify past mistakes.
