Chris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was out there waitin' for you all night
Thought you were sleepin' but saw your light
Hard to be dreamin' when it's so bright
Oh, so bright
It's a shame
Really thought you'd stop this game
But you're a player and to blame, yeah
And you could say
It wouldn't matter if I played
Cause you're just a fuckin' waste
And it's all a masquerade
Yeah, it's all a masquerade
(All a masquerade, yeah)
Daylight
The mornin' comes and you look so nice
Not even thinkin' about last night
How can you stand there like it's alright
No guilt in sight
It's a shame
Really thought you'd stop this game
But you're a player and to blame, yeah
All the guys that got the same, mm mm
And you could say
It wouldn't matter if I played
Cause you're just a fuckin' waste, yeah
And it's all a masquerade
Yeah, it's all a masquerade
All a masquerade
When I finally get to talk to you
Seems like nothin's really gettin' through
You're too focused on your own life
I'm still thinkin' about last night
You look up and turn around
But you don't see what's got me down
Is it me or are you slippin'?
Every day you seem more distant
(Ooh ooh ooh) masquerade
(Ooh ooh ooh) masquerade
(Ooh ooh ooh) masquerade
(Ooh ooh ooh) yeah, it's all a masquerade
(All a masquerade)
(Yeah it's all a masquerade)
In Chris's song "Masquerade," the lyrics depict a story of a deceptive and manipulative person in a romantic relationship. The song begins with the mention of moonlight, symbolizing a sense of vulnerability and intimacy. The singer thought the other person was sleeping but noticed their light, suggesting that the person was engaging in secretive activities while pretending to be innocent. The brightness of the light represents the blatant nature of their actions, making it hard for the singer to deny or ignore.
The chorus expresses the singer's disappointment and frustration with the situation. They had hoped that the other person would stop playing games and be sincere, but it becomes evident that they are a player and deserve the blame. The singer realizes that there are other people who have fallen victim to the same false facade. They reflect on how it wouldn't have mattered if they had played the same games since the other person is ultimately a waste of time and the entire relationship is just a masquerade.
The second verse continues to explore the singer's observations. The morning comes, and the other person looks presentable and unaffected by the events of the previous night. This lack of remorse or guilt for their actions is disheartening to the singer. They still carry the weight of the previous night, unable to shake off the experience while the other person seemingly moves on effortlessly.
When the singer finally gets the opportunity to talk to the other person, they feel as though their words are not reaching them. The person is too consumed with their own life and oblivious to the impact they have had. The singer is left pondering whether it is them or the other person who is losing connection. Every day, the other person seems more distant, adding to the sense of sadness and isolation.
Ultimately, "Masquerade" is a song about the disappointment and hurt caused by someone who pretends to be genuine but is actually deceptive. It explores themes of trust, manipulation, and the struggle to communicate and maintain a meaningful connection in a one-sided relationship.

Moonlight
The opportunity for a connection was present
Was out there waitin' for you all night
I waited for you eagerly
Thought you were sleepin' but saw your light
Assumed you were unavailable, but you were awake
Hard to be dreamin' when it's so bright
Difficult to have fantasies when the reality is overwhelming
Oh, so bright
It was exceptionally vivid
It's a shame
Regretful situation
Really thought you'd stop this game
Expected you to end this deceptive behavior
But you're a player and to blame, yeah
You engage in this behavior and are responsible
All the guys that got the same, oh oh
Other men have experienced the same treatment
And you could say
You may argue
It wouldn't matter if I played
It wouldn't make a difference if I engaged in the same behavior
Cause you're just a fuckin' waste
Because you are unworthy
And it's all a masquerade
This whole situation is a facade
Yeah, it's all a masquerade
Indeed, everything is a deceptive act
Daylight
The morning has arrived
The mornin' comes and you look so nice
You appear pleasant in the morning
Not even thinkin' about last night
Not considering the events of the previous night
How can you stand there like it's alright
How can you act as if everything is fine
No guilt in sight
No remorse is visible
All the guys that got the same, mm mm
Other men have experienced similar treatment
When I finally get to talk to you
When we have a chance for conversation
Seems like nothin's really gettin' through
It seems difficult to communicate effectively
You're too focused on your own life
You are preoccupied with your own experiences
I'm still thinkin' about last night
I still have thoughts about the previous night
You look up and turn around
You glance upwards and change direction
But you don't see what's got me down
But you are unaware of what is troubling me
Is it me or are you slippin'?
Is it my perception or are you becoming distant?
Every day you seem more distant
Every day, you appear further away emotionally
(Ooh ooh ooh) masquerade
This is a deceptive act
(Ooh ooh ooh) masquerade
This is all a facade
(Ooh ooh ooh) masquerade
This is a deceptive act
(Ooh ooh ooh) yeah, it's all a masquerade
Indeed, everything is a deceptive act
(All a masquerade)
Everything is just a facade
(Yeah it's all a masquerade)
Truly, everything is a deceptive act
