Masquerade
Elina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll wear the mask I made
Who knows what's underneath
And you either love or leave it
Everybody's got something to hide
Everybody's waiting for the right time
To reveal it and if you don't mind
Everybody's got ways to feel high
And I wanna see what way that you like
I conceal it until the right time
Maybe we're light, light, light, light, light
Your skin is so on fire
Maybe we're not so lonely, right?
Maybe I like just what you like
You're just a touch away
My hips can't stand away
Mmh, I shiver when you speak
No words, no need to state it
You made it to the waist, don't waste it
Everybody's got something to hide
Everybody's waiting for the right time
To reveal it and if you don't mind
I wanna let you see it
Everybody's got ways to feel high
And I wanna see what way that you like
I conceal it until the right time
Maybe we're light, light, light, light, light
Your skin is so on fire
Maybe we're not so lonely, right?
Maybe I like just what you like
Maybe we're light, light, light, light, light
Oh, your skin is so on fire
Maybe we're not so lonely, right?
Maybe I like just what you like
Let's have a masquerade
I'll wear the mask I made
Who knows what's underneath
You either love or leave it
Elina's song "Masquerade" talks about people's hidden identities and emotions. The lyrics consider that everybody has something to hide and would like to reveal it at the right time. The song expresses a desire to find out what makes someone happy and what helps them feel alive. Elina discusses how people always have a mask that they wear every day to hide their true selves. She is encouraging the listener to take off the mask and let her see what's underneath. It's a metaphor for revealing one's true personality and self to others, and it encourages the listener to have an intimate and honest relationship with her.
The chorus of the song speaks to the fact that everyone has different ways of achieving happiness or feeling high, and Elina wants to be a part of that journey. The lyrics suggest that the listener is close to her, and she sees the sparks between them. However, they haven't yet revealed their true selves to each other, so she wants to explore what they both like until the right time comes along.

Everybody's got something to hide
