Masquerade
CED BLACK & G-MONEY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
일을해도 맛춰야해 같은 steps
못해도 기대해, not done yet
게으르 다는 말만 계속 들어도
I can't help myself 이제 더는 못 일어나
Look at me, 안보니 이 가면?
Stuck in a masquerade 가려진 얼굴들 하나씩
알아내봐 I don't recognize you 행복한 척을 안해도 안 믿어
아는척 하지마 이런 기분 너는 모르지
Talk that talk talk, mask off, mask on
이런저런 모습들을 보여줘도
절대 you'll never know 하나 둘 세 는 내 모습
나를 찾아봐 계속 바뀌는 face illusion
Everyday I hide it 웃어도 티 안나
벗어나 보고싶어 this feeling 지쳐서 안돼
기훈이 없어서 다시 가면을 써
지저분하단 말만 계속 들어도
I can't help myself 이제 더는 못 일어나
Look at me, 안보니 이 가면?
다들 쳐다봐도 몰라 멍한 기분
Stuck in a masquerade 가려진 얼굴들 하나씩
알아내봐 I don't recognize you 행복한 척을 안해도 안 믿어
아는척 하지마 이런 기분 너는 모르지
다들 말하지 that I know this feeling too
쓸모가 없다는 이 허전한 기분
아는척 해도 these stereotypes 사람들 에 의견들 만 들려
가면을쓴 나 맛쳐봐 너인가?
감춰주는 all of my 생각들
Look at me, 안보니 이 가면?
다들 쳐다봐도 몰라 멍한 기분
Stuck in a masquerade 가려진 얼굴들 하나씩
알아내봐 I don't recognize you 행복한 척을 안해도 안 믿어
아는척 하지마 이런 기분 너는 모르지
They will never know 전혀 몰라
They will never know 나만 알아
나를 더는 판단 하지마 가면을 다시 써 본모습 숨겨
They will never know 전혀 몰라
They will never know 나만 알아
이게 진짜 나 라고 다 믿어 주길 바래
The lyrics of "Masquerade" by CED BLACK and G-MONEY explore the concept of wearing a mask and hiding one's true emotions and identity. The first verse talks about the pressure to conform to societal standards and expectations, even when feeling overwhelmed or unable to meet them. The use of the mask as a metaphor symbolizes the facade that people put on to disguise their true selves.
The chorus emphasizes the feeling of being stuck in a masquerade, where everyone wears a mask and hides their true feelings. The lyrics implore the listener to see beyond the masks and recognize the pain and struggle beneath the surface. It challenges the idea of pretending to be happy and urges others not to pretend or assume they understand what someone else is going through.
The second verse further explores the idea of masking one's true emotions and the resulting feelings of emptiness and longing. The lyrics express frustration at the constant judgments and opinions of others, who fail to understand the true depth of these feelings. It suggests that even when pretending, stereotypes and assumptions still affect how people perceive and judge others.
The bridge emphasizes the need to be understood and to have others truly see and accept one's true self without judgment. It illustrates the desire to hide behind the mask, keeping one's thoughts and feelings hidden from the judgment of others. The chorus repeats, highlighting the longing for others to recognize and believe in the true self behind the mask.

Don't judge me anymore, put on the mask again, hide the true appearance
They will never know 전혀 몰라
They will never know, they don't know at all
They will never know 나만 알아
They will never know, only I know

I hope they believe that this is the real me
