Lyrics
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
Your eyes have lost their sparkle or brightness compared to how they used to be.
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
The excitement and passion have faded when we kiss.
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
There is a realization that the facade or pretense in our relationship is coming to an end.
And so is love, and so is love
This marks the end not only of the masquerade but also the end of love itself.
Your words don't mean what they used to mean
Your words no longer carry the depth of meaning they once did; they have become ordinary and lacking inspiration.
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
Initially filled with inspiration, your words have now become routine and mundane.
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
The realization that the charade or pretense in the relationship is ending is reiterated.
And so is love, and so is love
This signals the end of both the masquerade and love.
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
Feeling compelled to adopt a clown's disguise, referring to the character Pagliacci, known for hiding true emotions behind a mask of humor.
And get myself a clown's disguise
The decision to wear a clown's disguise to conceal inner pain and present a cheerful facade to the world.
And then I'll learn to laugh like Pagliacci
Expressing the intention to learn to laugh like Pagliacci, masking personal sorrow with an outward appearance of joy.
With tears in my eyes
The paradox of laughing outwardly while shedding tears internally.
You look, you look the same, you're a lot the same
Despite the outward appearance of similarity, the heart recognizes a significant change in the person.
But my heart says, "No, no you're not the same"
Internal feelings contradict the external appearance, indicating that things are not the same as they used to be.
I'm afraid the masquerade is over - all over
Reiterating the end of the masquerade, emphasizing its conclusive nature.
And so is love, and so is love
Reaffirming the termination of love, echoing the sentiment expressed throughout the lyrics.
It's all over, and so is love
A final declaration that everything has come to an end, including love.
