The Masquerade
Eclipse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah I see your face
above the clouds and all today
Wounds all again
I see your way walking in walking out
Here it stands all again
and its out
I see your face
and I see your face
It's a masquerade
Such a masquerade
Above all the things that you did before
Above all the times you tried and lied and found it all
I can see the way before
I can see it all just fade and go
And I see your face
And I see your face
It's a masquerade
It's a masquerade
It's a masquerade
Yeah I can see
Where you and me
And I see your face
This masquerade
And I see your face
Such a masquerade
Such a masquerade
Masquerade
Masquerade
See your face
See your face




And I see your face
Such a masquerade

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eclipse's song The Masquerade seem to be about someone who is trying to move on from a toxic relationship or situation. The singer sees the other person's face "above the clouds and all" and their wounds re-open. However, they can also see the way forward and the other person's façade for what it is - a masquerade. Despite this realization, the singer seems to be struggling to fully let go and can still see the other person's face.


The repeated line "It's a masquerade" suggests that the other person is pretending to be something they're not, whether that be a loving partner, a reliable friend, or someone who has the singer's best interests at heart. The singer has seen through this façade, but it doesn't make the process of moving on any easier. The use of the word "wounds" also suggests that the relationship or situation caused the singer harm and that they may be struggling with the aftermath.


Overall, the song seems to be about the difficult process of realizing that someone you cared about is not who you thought they were, and the slow process of moving on from that realization.

This is SUPREME METAL at it's best. Metal is not noise as some people think. This is such a great example of the top of the class metal both vocally and musically. Forge on Metal Soldiers !!!

Check out Pretty Maids, Nordic Union and W.E.T.
These 3 bands are linked and brilliant.

This band never disappoints. We are now living in an era with great Melodic Rock Bands.

Mandilore

They ripped off Revolution Renaissance, Ordan Ogan's "F.E.V.E.R.", Iron Maiden's "The Prisoner", and a American pop/rock/country song I can't put my finger on but sounds VERY familiar!
