Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dance with fourteenth moon tonight
It's show time
夜の帳が下りていく空へ 月は昇り幕が開けるソワレ
You're invited (casted) flashed in my head (great force)
果てなき闇に光を灯す masquerade ball
Let's count アン ドゥ トロワ
この世界で演じる(縁) 其方の役は angel? (天使)
Welcome to this fantasy night 開演の合図
(聖なる光滅び) open the gate
(静寂 闇の森) do not be late
(まわり道も良し) unbroken the fate
(あまりに刹那的) ready to break the hate
踊れ踊れこの世界は masquerade 欠けた月照らし出す violet
フロア行き交う者は仮面を被り皆演じているアンソロジー
静かすぎる一夜ならば幾重にも 重ね爪弾く旋律アルペジオ
刹那に閃き合う儚い夜には命を燃やして踊れ
仮面が彩るヴィザージュ どんな姿も真
今宵は赦そうぞ
残酷な世界に見つからぬように さあ shall we dance?
いざ 鎮魂歌を奏でようぞ!
罵詈雑言迫ってくる混沌の音に乗る十四はオペラ座の主人(主人)
華麗にして虚無(一生) 歪かつ充 (kiss me)
耳に残るフェルマータは或いは再演の兆し
Let's count アン ドゥ トロワ (アン ドゥ トロワ)
華麗なるステップ and ターンで沸かすダンスフロア
誰もが共演者(否) 皆主演 remember (ever)
脈打つこの瞬間をしかと全うするのみ
(この世は舞台なり) open the gate
(酸いも甘いも噛み) get outta the cage
(ロザリンドの恋) and let's turn the page
(シナリオなど無い) all we merely players on the stage
踊れ踊れこの世界は masquerade ここは全て包み揺れる cradle
フロア煌めき満ちる輪舞曲のリズム 廻れ廻れ我は幾望の月
満ちゆく運命導かれこの先も 歌う誰かを救う交響曲を
絶望の丘に立つ天使よ月光を標に今こそ羽ばたけ
踊れ踊れこの世界は masquerade 欠けた月照らし出す violet
フロア行き交う者は仮面を被り皆演じているアンソロジー
静かすぎる一夜ならば幾重にも 重ね爪弾く旋律アルペジオ
刹那に閃き合う儚い夜には命を燃やして踊れ
仮面の下にある心は息をしている
今宵は隠そうぞ 残酷な世界のお気に召すままに大胆に
この舞台でさあ shall we dance?
The lyrics to "Masquerade" by E.A.T.E.R. describe a grand and extravagant masquerade ball, taking place under the light of the fourteenth moon. The song invites the listener to join the dance, emphasizing the enchanting atmosphere of the event. The lyrics mention the performers and dancers wearing masks, symbolizing their roles and disguising their true identities. The masquerade serves as an escape from the cruel world, where everyone has the opportunity to become someone else for a night. The song encourages embracing the fleeting nature of the night and expressing oneself through dance, igniting passion and burning away negativity.
The lyrics also hint at the themes of duality and illusion. The mention of masks and the phrase "any form is true" suggest that appearances in this masquerade are not what they seem and that true identities can be hidden beneath the surface. The lyrics emphasize the ephemeral nature of the night and the need to seize the moment, as well as the power of music and dance to bring people together and create a sense of unity.
Overall, "Masquerade" is a metaphorical exploration of the transformative and liberating nature of a masquerade ball, offering a temporary escape from reality, celebrating freedom of expression, and allowing individuals to adopt new identities.
