Lyrics
There are so many different lives
Reflecting on the multitude of different experiences and paths in life.
You keep living in the lies
Living in deception and falsehoods that you've constructed.
You have created
The lies and illusions are self-made or self-imposed.
There's something in your eyes
Sensing an unspoken truth or emotion in the eyes of the person being addressed.
You cannot hide behind tears and a smile
One cannot conceal their true feelings using a facade of tears or a smile.
Under flashes of the truth
In moments of revelation or clarity, the genuine self is exposed.
You reveal your real face
The true identity is revealed when confronted with reality.
But you fight for the right to wear the mask
The struggle to maintain a false image, despite the desire for authenticity.
And what if I ask
Posing a question about the motivation behind wearing a mask.
Can you tell me why
Seeking an explanation or justification for the actions and choices made.
What is it all for
Pondering the purpose or meaning of life.
Is that who you are
Uncertain about the true nature of the person being addressed.
I cannot be sure
Expressing doubt and lack of certainty about the authenticity of the individual.
And I really do not know
Feeling a genuine lack of understanding or knowledge about the person.
Anymore
Expressing a sense of confusion and uncertainty.
Do you know there’s no way
Acknowledging the impossibility of pretending or escaping from one's true self.
To pretend and run away
Emphasizing the futility of running away from one's identity.
From yourself
The realization that one must confront and accept their true self.
But the only role you play
Despite the need for authenticity, playing a role or adopting a different identity.
Is looking for the chance to be someone else
Actively seeking opportunities to be someone other than the authentic self.
Under flashes of the truth
Reiteration of the theme of revealing the genuine self amid moments of truth.
You reveal your real face
Revealing the true face under the influence of truth or reality.
But you fight for the right to wear the mask
Continuing the struggle to maintain a false identity despite knowing the truth.
And what if I ask
Raising the question again about the motivation behind wearing a mask.
Can you tell me why
Reiterating the quest for understanding the reasons and purpose of actions.
What is it all for
Persisting curiosity about the overall purpose or meaning of life.
Is that who you are
Questioning the true identity and nature of the person in question.
I cannot be sure
Expressing ongoing uncertainty about the authenticity of the individual.
And I really do not know
Continued lack of knowledge or understanding about the person.
Anymore
Reiteration of the pervasive sense of uncertainty and confusion.
