Whatever
Another Mask Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is this your face or just another mask?
When I see you again let's play it like a game
The things that we said never meant anything
No need for explanations
We breathe careless and free again
And well, you've told these lies for too long
Replace the words in any order, it still won't make a sense at all
The time keeps going on and on while we are drowning helpless
Whatever, I don't care
But tell me why we still cannot believe our words and let it go?
Please let it go
Ok, we're set and done, untie the ropes, unchain the thoughts
We're going down with this ship, it doesnβt matter who runs first
The past is overrated; see there's future in the way?
But it won't help, 'cause I don't listen to what you say
Don't say a word this place is just too loud
We'll wave our hands and get lost in the crowd
With a lump in your throat you know you have to move on
And time heals us
The lyrics to Another Mask's song, "Whatever," are about questioning the nature of a relationship and wondering if the person you're interacting with is being genuine or wearing a mask to hide their true feelings. The opening lines ask whether the situation at hand is the end of the road, and whether the person speaking is seeing their true face or just another facade. The following lines suggest that the singer has recognized that the things said in the past may not have held any real meaning or substance.
The chorus of the song, "Whatever, I don't care," suggests a level of apathy and disinterest in the continued drama of the situation. However, the singer still wonders why it's so hard to let go of hurtful words and emotions. The next verse suggests a feeling of inevitability or resignation, as if the singer knows they're going down with the ship (the relationship or situation) but doesn't really care. The final lines about time healing suggest a hope for the future, but the final line--"it won't help, 'cause I don't listen to what you say"--suggests a disconnect between the gut feeling of the singer and any words of hope or reconciliation the other person might offer.
