Rust
Discreation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take off your mask
Show me your face
Reveal the truth
What lies behind there
What do you hide
What is the truth
Behind this mask
What's in your mind
Who is this man I trusted in
Show your face
Reveal the truth
Will you destroy me
Would you disappoint me
You were my friend
How you're just a foe
Are you a saint
Or sent from hell
You were my friend
And now ...
Will you destroy me
Would you disappoint me
Stab me in my back
Or will you shoot me
You were my friend
And now ...
Will you destroy me
Would you disappoint me
Pounded into dust
Show me your face
The song Rust by Discreation is a powerful reflection on trust, betrayal, and the masks that people wear. The lyrics call out for the person to reveal their true face and to expose any hidden intentions or deceit that may be lurking beneath the surface. The opening lines of the song, "Show me your face, take off your mask," set the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer is demanding honesty and transparency from the person he trusted, and is now questioning whether that trust was misplaced.
The lyrics dive deeper into this theme, questioning the motives and intentions of those around us. The singer asks, "What lies behind there? What do you hide? What is the truth behind this mask?" These questions are a poignant reminder that we often cannot fully know another person's intentions or motivations. This uncertainty opens the door to betrayal, which the singer addresses when he asks, "Will you destroy me? Would you disappoint me?"
