Lyrics
I’ve been to parties like this before
I have experienced similar social gatherings in the past.
Nobody moves they just stare at the floor
The attendees remain still, appearing disengaged.
Everyone’s watching waiting on me
People are observing, anticipating my actions.
As if my words will set them free
There's an expectation that my words will have a liberating impact.
But I’m not a ghost
Contrary to being intangible, I am real and present.
No I’m not a god
I am not a deity.
I hold no power over you
I lack control or influence over others.
I'm just a lightning rod
I merely attract attention like a lightning rod.
I’ve bottled every crush
I've preserved every infatuation.
Every foolish fantasy
Every unrealistic daydream is contained within me.
I'm to beautiful for love
I consider myself too beautiful to experience love.
There’s no sharing vanity
I don't share my vanity with others.
I’m not ashamed to say I’ve lost my mind
I openly admit to losing my sanity.
I’ve been walking backwards all my life
My life has been characterized by retrograde motion.
Some might say there’s a price I’ve paid
There's a perceived cost to the choices I've made.
For a life less ordinary
Living a life that deviates from the norm.
Welcome to my masquerade
Inviting others to witness my concealed reality.
I’ve been to parties like this before
I've attended similar gatherings previously.
Where the prom queen is easy on the floor
The popular girl is laid-back on the dance floor.
Nobody know what to say or do
Confusion and hesitation in social interactions.
So they point the fingers at you
Fingers are pointed at me when others are unsure.
But I will not be swayed
I won't be influenced or swayed by external pressures.
I won’t be led astray
I won't be led astray from my path.
I’m to beautiful for blame
My beauty doesn't make me susceptible to blame.
I always get away
I always manage to escape consequences.
But I’m not a ghost
I reiterate that I am not a ghost or a god.
No I’m not a god
No divine or supernatural power resides in me.
I hold no power over you
I have no dominion or control over others.
I’m just a lightning rod
I serve as a focal point for attention like a lightning rod.
I’m not ashamed to say I’ve lost my mind
I openly acknowledge my mental instability.
I’ve been walking backwards all my life
I've been moving backward in life's journey.
Some might say there’s a price I’ve paid
Some see a cost in the unconventional life I've chosen.
For a life less ordinary
Living a life that stands out from the ordinary.
Welcome to my masquerade
Inviting others to observe my hidden reality.
I’m not ashamed to say I’ve lost my mind
Reiterating the acknowledgment of losing sanity.
I’ve been walking backwards all my life
Continuing to navigate life in reverse.
Some might say there’s a price I’ve paid
Some perceive a price paid for my unique life.
For a life less ordinary
Living a life that diverges from the ordinary.
Welcome to my masquerade
Welcoming others to witness my concealed reality.
Welcome to my masquerade
Repeated welcome to the hidden aspects of my life.
Welcome to my masquerade
Continued invitation to observe my masked reality.
