歌词
(Verse 1)
City lights and smoky bars, a world of clinking glass,
Faces hidden behind smiles, a never-ending farce.
I played the part, the socialite, with charm and wit to spare,
But beneath the polished surface, there was an emptiness to bear.
(Chorus)
The masquerade ball, a swirling symphony of lies,
Where everyone's pretending, with mischief in their eyes.
I wore a thousand faces, to fit the shifting scene,
But lost myself within the crowd, a ghost that's never seen.
(Verse 2)
Small talk and empty laughter, conversations light as air,
I danced along the surface, never letting down my hair.
Afraid to show the real me, the thoughts that filled my head,
So I hid behind a mask instead, and wished I was in bed.
(Chorus)
The masquerade ball, a swirling symphony of lies,
Where everyone's pretending, with mischief in their eyes.
I wore a thousand faces, to fit the shifting scene,
But lost myself within the crowd, a ghost that's never seen.
(Bridge)
One day the music faltered, the lights began to dim,
And in the sudden silence, I saw myself within.
No longer just a puppet, on strings of expectation,
I stepped out of the shadows, into self-liberation.
(Bridge)
One day the music faltered, the lights began to dim,
And in the sudden silence, I saw myself within.
No longer just a puppet, on strings of expectation,
I stepped out of the shadows, into self-liberation.
(Chorus)
Behind the glass, I saw my reflection true,
No longer distorted, the colors shining through.
The mask was just a shield, to protect a gentle soul,
Now I break it open, and let my true self unfold.
(Outro)
The city lights still glitter, the music softly plays,
But now I walk among them, in a more honest daze.
No need for borrowed faces, no need to hide or fear,
I'll show the world my true self, and hold my head up clear.
