Masquerade
Unveiling Life's Dance: A Masquerade of Faces
Lyrics
Am I making sense? Am I making time?
Expressing uncertainty about coherence and availability of time.
Well I, I put it by and I can't wait to try
Anticipating trying something previously set aside.
Masquerade! The world's a stage
Invoking the metaphor of a masquerade to describe life as a theatrical performance.
A hundred faces for you to play
Suggesting the diversity of roles or personas one can assume in life.
Well it's hard to believe
Expressing disbelief or difficulty in accepting the current situation.
I'm spinning all this way
Describing a state of confusion or disorientation.
I'm spinning all this way
Repeating the feeling of spinning or being overwhelmed.
Round and round in my head
Indicating persistent thoughts circulating in the mind.
Roll over again let your heart do the spin
Encouraging a carefree attitude, letting the heart guide actions.
And listen to nothing I have to say
Suggesting a lack of interest or disregard for the speaker's words.
What did my momma say
Reflecting on maternal advice or guidance.
I was always making songs for her
Recalling a habit of creating songs for the speaker's mother.
Over my song, over these days gone on
Reflecting on the passage of time and experiences through songwriting.
You come to a special place
Describing a significant or meaningful location or state of mind.
Where you can go in straight masquerade!
Encouraging the embrace of different roles or personas (masquerade).
You send me down your massive chain
Describing the influence or impact of external forces, perhaps societal expectations.
You send me down your massive chain
Repeating the impact of external influences, emphasizing their weight.
And you base the frame what did my momma say
Referencing the foundation or structure influenced by maternal advice.
I was always making songs for her
Reiterating the act of creating songs for the speaker's mother.
There's a better way
Suggesting the existence of a preferable or improved approach to life.
